Since we have a fair number of Japanese/Asian tool aficionados here, I was wondering what books might provide a basic overview of usage and work patterns.
I'm particularly interested in the basic workholding/sawing/chiseling practices since I'm about to build a trestle/timber frame sawbench and figured I might be able to make a planing beam as part of that setup.
It seems like Toshio Odate's book is still the best intro. Should I look at the timber framing books too?
