I never even thought about something like this. but it makes perfect sense that you would want something like that to accurately start a guide for sawing thin planks off of a bigger board. cool stuff, and it gives me ideas
My Irish Setter Bubby used to be by my side as I worked making stone sculpture just like your pup, they are truly best friends. I would like to thank you for sharing the process information and what your working on with us, you are really very good at creating the film, its the first time I've seen you and your work and I've viewed many on UA-cam. Thanks again, and wish you all the best.
I just broke a brand new Japanese saw half but the part with the handle still works great. I stumbled across your video so I will make a Kefing plane like yours with the broken part. Thanks for the video.
+The Redsmith thank you! I think I'm going to use this one for a little bit too see what I want to change. I have a really neat up ryoba I could sharpen and use for the next one.
+Scrap wood City thanks! I like that I can setup and breakdown the work area quickly. One day I'll organize the garage enough to have a permanent work space.
i like that chris.. im STILL waiting on the Japanese pull plane i ordered straight from japan.lol hopefully soon i cant wait (.like the one u were using)
when drilling the saw blade I would recommend two things... first, anneal the small section you are drilling so it is softer and not hardened steel (don't let the critical heat travel to the teeth or they will go dull more quickly) second, use what us machinists call a center drill... it is much shorter and much easier when drilling through sheet metal such as a saw blade. thanks for the video!
I'm near your community King forward to your future videos I'm a woodworker with a how to channel I'm doing a little bit of everything. I can forward to hearing from you keep up the good work God bless Ken
+Kaged Creations I've only seen the Western version from the unplugged workshop book. There's no mention of this type of tool in any of the Japanese woodworking books I've seen.
how do you find the grip? ... or the general usability? i too am 100% into kannas and looking forward to making one of these kerfing planes eventually, but i cant help but think that these kind of planes (along with ploughs) are easier as a push type. mainly because of the coordination of your hands... i feel like keeping the fence in position AND pulling is going to be hard to balance. what is it like? Thanks in advance! (+1 subscriber!)
Funny you should say that. I was thinking the same with pushing it. I'll have to give it a try. Only thing is I don't have a traditional workbench at the moment (because our garage is full of my junk :) ). I find it easier to pull the tool when I'm working in the temporary workspace like on the floor. I had no problem keeping it aligned in the long rip but the short end grain was more difficult to start and keep the fence aligned. When doing the end grain I came to the realization that if I slowed down and let the saw do the work it was easier to control. Also, that it didn't truly matter if I started the exactly perpendicular to the cut 100% of the time to begin with. What mattered was light, controlled strokes that let the saw do the work while I focused on the tool alignment. Again, this was for the end grain cut. Once you get that initial groove for any side it becomes easy if you remember to to force the cut. Thanks for subscribing!
Sorry, I forgot about the grip question. It was similar to using a kanna. I should have made the body area where your hand wraps around a little taller. Next time.
AdventuresInDIY Thanks for the reply! Yes, the end grain was the most concerning part to be honest haha. However I think it wouldnt be all that too easy with a push type either on an end grain, so yeah.. I just got a spare ryoba (kyokucho) and cutting it in half or drilling hole seems nearly impossible.. this thing is super hard, almost to the level I am surprised it flexes!
You gotta clamp sheet metal when you are using a drill press youd hate for your piece to catch the bit and spin out of hand and into the other side of your hand before you can react, also gloves arnt always the best idea on a drill press
I find I have a lot in common with your style of woodworking. I love Japanese tools and have many of them. I have a cherry lab that I am turning into a floor Japanese Kanna bench.One thought; did you consider making an adjustable fence for your pull kerfing plane? You could cheat and use a Veritas plane fence; (Item 05P3020). Cheers!
There is a trick to using a punch to make a hole..... place the metal against some END GRAIN wood held in a vise. Strike the punch sharply. The end grain will support the metal in the same shape as the punch face.
Hey huge fan but recently I haven't been impressed with the content. I love more full on projects. Like your Ammo box and desk table. Just thought I would share my opinion. Have a great day

Bubby sounds like a great friend. They really bring joy to the workshop. Thank you for your kind words.
Super crisp. No wasted words or visuals. Great presentation. That dog is going to get poked in the nose one of these times! Take care.
+Chop With Chris thanks Chris! I'm always keeping an eye on her to make sure we're both safe when I make things.
I just broke a brand new Japanese saw half but the part with the handle still works great. I stumbled across your video so I will make a Kefing plane like yours with the broken part. Thanks for the video.
That sucks, but also awesome. Next saw blade that's no good anymore I'm thinking of making scrapers with. Thanks for watching :)
Nicely done, Chris!
+Wood 'n' Stuff w/ Steve French thank you Steve!
Great presentation! I will try to make one on the future.
Nicely done Chris ! It turned out great.
+The Redsmith thank you! I think I'm going to use this one for a little bit too see what I want to change. I have a really neat up ryoba I could sharpen and use for the next one.
Great work, Chris. Very nice tool and video too. Thanks for sharing.
+Humus Workshop thank you!
Beautiful. I think non-quarter sawn wood would work perfectly fine. Great job!
If electricity ever goes away, I am coming to your house Chris. Great job! Man your audio is awesome.
+Ted Alexander thanks Ted! Lol! Thanks I usually spend half an hour messing with audio levels.
AdventuresInDIY Like Capt Ron said, 'It Shows!'
that's a very nice tool, I definitely am in need of my own right now so I'll have to borrow your design. nicely done sir!
Very cool, Chris! I don't need one right now, but I want to make one.
+Jason Rausch thanks Jason! I don't have room for a band saw and need a re sawing solution
Nice job Chris Good tips
+Frank Snyder thank you Frank!
That's a really neat tool, Chris!
+Michael Lawing thanks Michael!
Great looking plane !!!!
Very nice project!
Thank you!
Nice vid, well done on the hand saw precision, subbed
+elams1894 thank you!!!
Great video man, looks like it will be a super handy tool to have!
+Matt Lane thanks Matt! I'm pretty excited about using it for upcoming projects.
Loved the video, Chris. Great project as well. It's very satisfying making your own tools that will in turn make working on other projects easier.
+Jay Bates thanks Jay. It really is. I kinda got hooked when I made a custom mortising chisel a little while back.
Really interesting tool! Japanese woodworking is awesome!
+Scrap wood City thanks! I like that I can setup and breakdown the work area quickly. One day I'll organize the garage enough to have a permanent work space.
Nice work, Chris
+Jack Bench Woodworking thank you Charlie!
Nice. I am about to do the same, but I will use a rip blade.
i like that chris..
im STILL waiting on the Japanese pull plane i ordered straight from japan.lol hopefully soon i cant wait
(.like the one u were using)
LOL!! Thanks for watching Joe!
AdventuresInDIY always brother!!keep em' comn'!
great video.. I have actually been thinking about ing one of my spare Japanese saw blades to build a stair saw for dado cutting..
Very good! I need to make one of these also! Thank you.
All that time spent on a piece that wasn’t quartersawn. It’s not gonna stay square. How much is your time worth vs a few feet of quartered white oak?
Nice job!
+Stavros Gakos thank you!
sweet job
Nice tool well done
Thank you
Another one of your projects added to my list!!
What do you think of those Power Grip carving tools? Would you buy again?
when drilling the saw blade I would recommend two things... first, anneal the small section you are drilling so it is softer and not hardened steel (don't let the critical heat travel to the teeth or they will go dull more quickly) second, use what us machinists call a center drill... it is much shorter and much easier when drilling through sheet metal such as a saw blade. thanks for the video!
Thanks for the tips! I'll have to try those when I make another one.
Great job! Keep on makin'.
Randall Lake thank you for watching Randall!
goood movie i have a que
do you have planes for the saw bench you use in the end of the movies?
when drilling the saw blade remember it has been hardened......use carbide tipped drill bits like the ones for drilling concrete
I'm near your community King forward to your future videos I'm a woodworker with a how to channel I'm doing a little bit of everything. I can forward to hearing from you keep up the good work God bless Ken
Good idea!
+Mitch Peacock - WOmadeOD thanks Mitch!
Great build and video! What did you finish it with? Maybe boiled linseed oil? Thanks!!
Thank you! It was tung oil for the finish.
Good work Chris san!
If you come Japan, please tell me. Let's talk about tools with Japanese food and sake:D
Thanks bro.
+bayashi23 San thank you! That sounds like an awesome idea!!!!
Parabéns pelo vídeo e pelo cão, o meu também fica me rodeando quando estou fazendo algo em casa.
good job bro
Thank you
Interesting, i've never seen that type of plane/saw, although admittedly I don't use a lot of traditional hand tools.
+Kaged Creations I've only seen the Western version from the unplugged workshop book. There's no mention of this type of tool in any of the Japanese woodworking books I've seen.
Very cool, thank you.

i used 10 x 1mm washers, screwed the blade into the side of another blade. works well enough for me. no cutting. just some washers.
Love your staffy, what's his name?
+Robert Kitchen thank you. It's Barda. We've had her for about a year and a half.
I have one I've called Bella, we love her to bits.
I LOVE YOUR HELPER
+Carbonite Gamorrean thank you! She's the reason things get done in the shop 😀
Mine would be the reason nothing gets done...
You gotta clamp sheet metal when you are using a drill press youd hate for your piece to catch the bit and spin out of hand and into the other side of your hand before you can react, also gloves arnt always the best idea on a drill press
love your vids

+Snowwalker sounds like it's going to be a nice bench. Thanks for the idea. I'll have to invite that for the next build.
Looking forward to watching your next build.
Awesome
muy bueno

+Project Powers thanks for your feedback. You too.
Respect.
+Sean White thank you
Зачем сверлильный станок использовал? Вручную надо было ковырять дырки!)))
maybe try to put some masking tape over the saw blade and/or any sharp edges until you're done.
+moonblink that's a good idea. Thank you
You are awesome¡¡¡¡ :D
+Bob Esponja thank you 😀
👏👏👏
2:47 : priceless! :D
+bygota thank you 🐕😀. She's a good helper.
Nice but is very old school, machine is more fast..
+Pepe Bautista thank you.
ahşap işinde iyi olduğu belli ama metalde aynı şeyi söylemek zor
It would be better if you punched a hole in the blade and not burn up your drill bit trying to bore a hole in hardened steel.
+Jim Schowe good idea. Thanks for the tip. I'll definitely do that for the next one.
1st view.....yeah.
+Omar Ortiz lol! Thank you 😀
AdventuresInDIY your wellcome..love your vids. keep up the good work.
