Ive watched you over the years working in your balcony wood shop. I appreciate your skill and work to produce excellent vids. And i have the gall to complain about the lack of room in my two car garage shop. Thanks
I ve watched you over the years and really admire te your apartment balcony word shop and the projects that you have completed. And i have the gall to complain about the lack of space in my two car garage shop Thanks for the inspiration and the skill you demonstrate with each vid
Amazing work as usual. It never ceases to amaze what talented people can create with a limited set of tools. Not to say that's a bad thing, it's a great thing. Made in the 'modern' way you would have run it through a planer, a jointer, routed or cnc'd the dovetails, etc. Looks great. I love using my plane more than anything as well
Beautiful piece of work and really a good strong table. I really liked the full dove tails of sorts all the way across the boards. It just set it off really well. I know you will get a great use out of this table and I’m happy you were able to build it.
Lovely work once again sir, I would love to see how this fares in a few years time and see if the dovetails help with any warping or twisting the boards experience. It's a beast of a planing board!
i think this is an awesome build. beautiful wood grain, excellent build construction. i actually want to, and am going to, build one for myself because i like to incorporate sashimono in my work as well. my not any good at it but still hahaha. thank you so much for the content.
The inlay splines I do not get. The reason you installed sliding dovetails is to have legs and to have the board staying straight when wood moves - thats the reason sliding dovetails are either not glued or just in one place so the wood can freely move. The dovetail splines over the full width are working against this principle. Interesting experiment though - interested to see how this works when seasons change. Please check back in a year :)
I get what you're saying about the splines. For me it'll be a way to see if this has any affect just for this particular design. I'll be sure to add an update in a future build. I had simply noticed that any time I used a spline it automatically added stability to whatever it was inlaid into.
Lemongrasspicker I am making a naga dai next. It wont be pretty but it will be functional. I will shoot you an email. I read a book on kannas. Ive learned they have a spirit of their own,
Yes. Use your saw as your gauge and try your absolute best to cut the initial line straight on the top of your material. If you follow that line it'll help ensure you stay straight
Thanks for the compliment. On the underside I have the sliding dovetailed legs that help keep it straight. The splines are really more of an experiment than anything. I hadn't ever seen it done so I figured I'd try it out.
Thanks for all your inspiring videos. I have a question about your living setting. I know you do your woodworking an a apartmemt balconey. What does your neighbors say about the noise you make (especially hammering)? I live in an apartment myself and it would be impossible to make that kind of noise here...
Thanks for watching. Apartments are not ideal true. A big step in getting things done is either making friends with your neighbors or doing the work when they're either not home or just during normal hours of the day. If you are hammering and chiseling at 4am I can say for certain that they will not be happy. But for a few hours once a week from around noon to 5 they shouldn't have too much of an issue. What really annoys people is constant non-stop noise. If you're concerned I'd just say bake up a plate of brownies and make friends with them. Most folks won't turn down brownies. During the discussion you can find out a time that might work for both of you to make things work. A little diplomacy goes a long way. My situation is such that I only get 1 day a week to really do any hard work. So that one day from around 11am till 6 pm is when I work. Hope some of that helps.
Lemongrasspicker I have a “one butt” garage, so I can relate to the small working space. Love your channel, common tools and materials. Great craftsmanship!
I keep getting notifications on my computer that you are leaving a comment on my video. But when I go to look at it I can't see it. Did you have a question I could answer for you?
I'm not japanese but I heard that the reason you don't push a kanna because pulling it will bring the spirits of the wood to you, if I heard it correctly. thank you for the video tho and God bless you
That might be true, for me it just makes it more ergonomic with my limited space. I don't have to have a 300lb monster of a bench to push against to do my planing. The pull stroke makes it much easier since I can wedge the work against the board and not have to rely solely on weight.
@@Lemongrasspicker I don't know a shit about it, anywaybut looking at your videos it seems effective... the reason I am asking is because I have some issues going straight through a line... :D
"For you metrical types, that's 48 inches in millimeters" had me rollin. LOL
haha! I had it in my head figured out and the moment I started speaking I completely blanked.
What is millimeters?
@@user-ki3dj9pu9yIt's a measurement used by communist countries.

Appreciate your craftmanship and patience. Would you please share, if not too much trouble, your tools choices for example chisel and plane types.
Sure. I already have a video in mind of that that'll be coming soon
Looks like your board should work good for many years! Thank you.
I like your approach with the planing stop. The one I saw before used a dovetail slot for the stops. I guess this would work just as well ;)

Thank you ma'am
Lookin awesome! The inlays add a nice visual. One feature I like for mine is the piece on the right side that lets me shoot the plane.
Thanks sir! I might add that later on down the road, good idea!
really cool. would love to see some videos on your techniques and how you get accurate rip cuts with a fence, etc.
I don't really use a fence for rip cuts. Usually I just score really deeply with a gauge and then make a cut line and follow it carefully.
It’s amazing working on a balcony that small! I bet you have very good neighbours. My first workshop was an old brick built larder off my kitchen.
I just work when they're not around honestly haha! That larder sounds like a nice little shop honestly. Thanks for watching!
Very impressed by your patience.
Thanks sir
Nice job :) A great addition to your tools :) Blessings to you ॐ
Thanks sir
Me too love the natural look..like the contrast of the butterflies.hand took work is the most gratifying no matter what u build
Thanks sir
Lemongrasspicker always sir!! Looking forward to seeing what u do next
I'll give you a hint! It involves timber. Lots of it.
Lemongrasspicker lol! Hmmm a Japanese bird house??;)
Lemongrasspicker cant wait to see

Thanks sir! Time will tell in this case, I hadn't seen it done so I figured why not?

Very good! Should help you a lot! Thank you.
Thanks for watching Robert
Kool stuff. Just got a kiwa kana, I like it. Though, I haven’t figured it out completely. Thank you for the teachings
Thank YOU for watching. Just take your time with it, some tools take a long time to master, just be patient and it'll reward you greatly.
Lemongrasspicker I am making a naga dai next. It wont be pretty but it will be functional. I will shoot you an email. I read a book on kannas. Ive learned they have a spirit of their own,
That's definitely true. You should put up a video of yourself making/demoing it once it's done.
awesome video! do you have any tips for maintaining a consistant angle when doing long dovetails like the one you did for the stop?
Yes. Use your saw as your gauge and try your absolute best to cut the initial line straight on the top of your material. If you follow that line it'll help ensure you stay straight
so inspiring to see people work with very simple tools.
should I be surprised you put the butterfly splines on top instead of underneath?
Thanks for the compliment. On the underside I have the sliding dovetailed legs that help keep it straight. The splines are really more of an experiment than anything. I hadn't ever seen it done so I figured I'd try it out.

How has this held up after 4 years? Did you have any warping and did the splines help/stay in place?
Funnily enough it's still together and it's not warped hardly at all. I use it as a play piece for my now 3 year old lol
4’ straight edge? Do you have an aluminum clad sliding glass door on your balcony? It’s extruded and should be pretty darn close
LimitedGunnerGM I don't have one of those doors sadly. But that is an awesome idea, thank you for that.
Lemongrasspicker I have a “one butt” garage, so I can relate to the small working space. Love your channel, common tools and materials. Great craftsmanship!
Thanks sir. Us "one butt workshop craftsmen" must stand together!
Did those boards start as 2 inch x 8 inch?
2 x 6
What brand is your plane and how long is it?
The naga dai (jointer plane) is made by Tanaka, and it's about 17" long. The regular 70mm plane is about 12" long and is made by Yamaguchi

Salvador Elmer Cabotage III i think if you push it then it became Taiwanese
Style
Is using Japanese hand plane is easier to plane when your wood have knot?
Not at all. Knots are significantly difficult for Japanese planes.
Hi can you make a video on how to saw? Thanks
With a standard ryoba I can. But I doubt my technique is correct according to a good Japanese carpenter.
