I had made one of these for myself (a small one) just for every day tasks. When I...
That's an excellent idea Michael, had I not just purchased another one of the blades that Hida tool sells I would do the same thing. Thanks for the idea!

Nothing too complicated with this tool. Just some scrap 1/8 stainless rod stock, with some scrap maple (or whatever wood you have on hand) and you can...
thanks Will! My only problem I've developed with it is that the x-acto blade walks a bit on harder woods. I really need a proper blade for it
4 Nails and glued on all surfaces. I said that I deviated from the original design in the OP.

So some news, I’m moving! Between my wife and I this time will make the 40th time we have moved either overseas or from one house to another (this is...
This was a really fun project, I am really enjoying getting into the tools of traditional Japanese carpenter. I am far from Japanese but I really like the philosophy and thought process behind the...
Thanks guys!

The video explanation is here if you don't want to read my wall of text.

There is a flat on the back of the blade that locks it in place when the screw is engaged. A groove might be a good modification as well, I might see about ordering a spare blade to try it
That's a fantastic suggestion and makes alot of sense, thanks Derek, Shouldn't be a problem at all to add one to it.
Mike, you make some good points.
In the case of this plane I just needed something simple and within my budget. It fit the bill and I'm enjoying owning and using it

I had wanted to get a tool that was a little different and I needed a router plane. I'm a huge fan of small shop toolmakers and thus I discovered...
Thanks Jim
That's alot of cool information, thanks Dave
Part II is up, not much to really say about it other than it took a while since I don't have a lathe so I just had to carve away. Fun project though...
Entirely possible that Roy Underhill is related.
From looking at it up close I really think the entire thing was hand forged, and it was kept in very good condition, no evidence of anyone having...
Have a very interesting tool that I came into possession of via the wonder that is fleabay for a few bucks. It arrived in pretty good shape, was about as sharp as a spoon. Part II is coming later...
Stanley, thanks so much for all that info! I had had some issues with rust forming on my gouges (I only own the two in the video at the moment) and that was partially the reason for this project....
This might be a bit silly to some of you guys but I had been fiddling with making some covers for my chisels and I thought it'd be cool to make some out of some scrap cedar I had lying around. I did...
Whoops! Big duh on my part. Yes it's most likely more than a 1/4 ounce it just doesn't feel like any is in your hand hardly when you use it. The 1/4 ounce part was more sarcasm than anything
Here's a little one I made, most of the typical luthier's hammers you buy are within the 8-9oz range, I needed something VERY light that could be used to tap apart stubborn wooden guitar/violin...
So I've been a bit obsessive about this as of late. I had one more cutoff piece of zebrawood that I wanted to use, but before I cut into it I got ahold of some nice pieces of ash to experiment with...
Very cool! I do love the combination of the live edge slab with the modern drawers, very classy.
I have to ask though, did your thumb get into a fight with a weed wacker or something?
It's all good, I just found it entertaining that that very specific hobby was what you mentioned.
Nicholas, yes the pecan is ludicrously tough, one little chip at a time. Thank you for the...
