You have a neat voice,your vocabulary is very good, explanes well, sense of humor makes your videos very pleasing to watch. Limited space and not to many tools you do an exelance job. Don’t stop.
Who is this wise man I keep hearing about!? Great job, been loving your videos. Its a good approach to doing projects, simple, and they don't need to be perfect.
Lol, I'm over here using a regular Kana when I apparently needed a Sori-kana for my shirasaya project but it turned out alright just had to cut out the curve with files & sanding paper
@@Lemongrasspicker I cannot tell you which site, because youtube removed my earlier comment, in which a mentioned that site. This video inspired me to buy a sori kanna. Thank you. It has to come from Australia and I'll have to do some repair of the dai. So I will have to be patient for 'a while' before I can experience using it.
For the future you (or anyone reading this) could try to inlay metal to fix an old mouth instead of wood. Most antique chinese planes I have seen (and some premium new ones) have a strip of iron or brass at the front of the mouth. A hacksaw (for either) or a cold chisel with your vise's anvil (just for brass) would be all you need. Small pieces of steel and brass bar stock are at craft or some hardware stores.
Aubreykun brass works for that. Easy enough to get. You just need to screw it into the sole. I wouldn't rely on glue for that kind of work. A mechanical connection is more reliable
Hello.. I’ve just come across your video where you ask about what the writing (kanji) on the curved plane means .. My wife said it means something like, long life .. longevity.. I live in Japan and have a little collection of Old Japanese Kanna and chisels . I’ll be following your videos from now on .. Thank you..
I notice the grain is 90 degrees to the plane body with the Dutchman. I usually see a triangular patch used along the grain to avoid the added friction and chip out. A wood with intertwined grain for the patch is excellent like elm or dogwood. What are your thoughts?
Im just wondring why you would inlay that piece with the grain across? is that a good idea? and how much time did u use sharpening that blade? JESUS! Awesome vid! keep it up!
This one was from ebay. But for a real plane you really should spend the extra and get a good one. Just because it's cheap doesn't mean it's good. These tools are still handmade in a highly traditional manner and thus they are costly but they are worth every penny.
“No one ever complained about overkill” lol lovin the nuggets of wisdom in your vids as well as the projects completed!
Thanks sir

Thanks sir, I dislike my voice, but I'm stuck with it so I have to make do.
Well you seem to be doing very good job with it.
I appreciate that. Thank you for the vote of confidence
Really a great restore. I love these old planes. Thanks for sharing!
Becky's Texas Wood Shop thank you for watching Becky

Great job, been loving your videos.

There are wise men all around. You just have to find them. Thanks for watching
Well done man! Great old plane
Mikhandmaker thanks sir, and thanks for watching
Lemongrasspicker alias third floor balcony woodworker. Well sounds good.
looks like a real cool plane!
Jörgen Börg tak skal du have Jorgen. Wait, you are Danish right?
Lemongrasspicker nope, Belgian 😁. i'm a Dutchy. soo, only google translate will understand this sentence above mine hehe
Jörgen Börg haha! My mistake then.
Lemongrasspicker nah, must be my name wich looks pretty scandinavian 😋.
Jörgen Börg yup, I had assumed that was the case.
Great restoration :) Nice to know that it will be looked after and used well :) ॐ
The Wood Yogi thanks sir
A lot of work for a plane that is now yours. As with all your videos great job.
Thanks sir
Thanks for the help.
Wow, that turned out great! Nice one. I think the insert was smart. should extend the life of that body
thanks sir!

That works
The Chinese characters seem to be 長幸(long happiness). The meaning of the letter may literally be Long Happiness or the name of the producer.
Did you know that this video was linked / shown on a japanese website? Well done sir!
I did not but that's really cool! Thanks for telling me about that

My (Japanese) wife says she can't read it. She suggests 'It's more like a logo than a word' if that makes any sense.
That makes sense. Likely just a makers mark. Thanks for looking that up. And thanks for watching

I haven't seen any that were more than glued, unless they were somehow wedged into place.

Have a look at the kanji for Tsunesaburo blacksmiths for that blade. Look on daikudojo.
It really help me for name of the mark, thank you

As long as the patch does it's job then the wood type is really secondary. A sliding dovetail patch/fill is good for longevity.
That plane looks familiar... I bet you got it on eBay a couple weeks ago
An astute observation. EBay is but the greatest antique store in the world.
Im just wondring why you would inlay that piece with the grain across? is that a good idea?
and how much time did u use sharpening that blade? JESUS!
Awesome vid! keep it up!
You can inlay end grain. I just didn't have a piece big enough to pull that off. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoy the videos
Total time sharpening was about 2 1/2 hours
Great video! Do you find most of your planes on e bay? The selection of japanese planes in the USA seem scarce, or if available they are pricey.

sorry. but that dip in the CENTER will be guarded by the surrounding surfaces. those splits you put everywhere expedite the process of decay.
Huh?
Great job! Where do you buy your planes, please?
Anywhere I can find them. eBay, antique malls, etc... just have to keep an eye out. It's easier to buy them from dealers though
hellow Brasil
Nice job...could you tell us what you say in Japanese at the end of your videos. Thanks
"Thank you, goodbye" thanks for watching
I have three Japanese planes. Do not know how to get the iron in correctly. Could you help? Do you live in Texas? Any help would help. Thanks.
There's actually a good walk through on how to set one up by a youtuber called sumokun. His stuff is very helpful.
Que pocas ganas de hacer un trabajo y asì tambièn saliò.Mejor me borro,aca no se puede aprender a trabajar bien.
