Excellent video as always, Dylan. Really well done; a pleasure to watch. Could you maybe do a follow up - for those of us who want to make our own kanna - on how to choose the wood for the dai, where to buy a blade, etc.?
Of course, there is a knot hiding in the middle of the bed, just waiting to be discovered by the chisel! There is a small hint of it in the surface grain pattern, but it was surprising. Does this actually make a better kanna because the crazy grain around the knot is denser? Thank you for sharing your work with us.
I always have trouble sawing and chiseling the sides, when I try making it so it leaves a tsutsumi ledge. but this video was a very helpful to refresh my knowledge. now I will make a new kanna dai, maybe this time I can make a nice tsutsumi.
Hornbeam is not commonly used in Japan. Kashi (Japanese oak) is the most common material used for Kannas. A friend in Germany gave me this hornbeam so I decided to give it a try. It feels quite solid and so far, it works well as a Kanna.
@@dylaniwakuni Cool, that's interesting. Isn't hornbeam sort of self-lubricating? In that it kind of oils itself to keep the movement really smooth. Or I may be mistaking it for another wood.
Hey, could you do a video explaining how to use the sashigane? Or a good resource for it? I own one but often find myself reaching for the combination square anyway. I think it is because I don't know how to use it well. Thanks!
Curious Dylan if you've ever used/tried western push planes and if so, which do you feel is the more physically efficient/ergonomic of the two, push or pull? Then to follow that, which works better?? I know that most likely since you're accustomed to the pull type, they would most likely be your "winner", but was curious, as to me it would seem that push would be more muscle/ergo friendly and maybe pull would offer more control.
Nice job! I think that the video would be better if you didn't use music at all. This type of video somehow does not seem to be in a good correlation with this type of music. (It's just a suggestion please don't unleash hell upon me)
shake the camera more, I didn't quite vomit from the motion sickness.....Seriously though, thanks for the video. I'm trying to salvage a trash plane I got for cheap, and making a kanna out of it I think is the way I'll go now.
I love the sound of a plane slicing through wood & leaving such s smooth finish & whispey thin shavings.
Such a satisfying sound
Nothing as simple and as efficient as a Kanna
New world record! Fastest Kanna Dai ever haha. Well done :) looks great!
Thanks Adam!
Great video! Thank you Dylan!
😊🙌

Yes please
Super helpful. Thank you, Dylan!
Happy to hear that!
Such a great kanna dai video.
It helped me so much making one for an iron I found.
Great video Dylan! I wish I had seen it before making my first kanna!
Happy to hear that!

Wow! You may not believe it, but a few hours before your video I ordered my first Kanna! Maybe I will build one myself some day!
That's great! I'm sure you'll enjoy using it!
Thanks for the video, now i know where to start. I have a kanna that i have to tune up, but also i wanted to make a new kanna body for a chamfer plane
Wonderful work ! You make it look so easy ! 😅
Dylan, Great job!
Thanks!
How do you cut the angle inside accurately without angled wooden piece as a guide?
Do you have a plane set up video? I’m having a pain of a time trying to set mine up

Do the Japanese use hornbeam often for Kannas? I've only seen it used regularly in German wooden planes.

@@michael.knight the wood you are speaking about is called lignum vitae or guayacan. Best wood for kanna is fine and straight grain kashi
well done! thanks for sharing.
Very nice ! I like your videos the filming is nice and bright .
Thanks! 😊
Can i use bohler k110 for the knive
Good job mate I often watch polish/greek guy Stavros Gakos on RUclips how is he making hand planes, good job
Beautiful!
You buy the blad ?.... do you know some artisan that sell it ??.... I m looking for that one of 55 mm edge sharp .

Hi, i wanna do myself too, where can i buy the blade? Do you have the link of the shop in europe?

Great video. Where would you get a blade for one of those?
How do you determine the angle of the blade? Thank you for this video!
For this, I set it up at the standard angle of 38 degrees
Hermoso trabajo, Nice work! Saludos desde Argentina!
I'm intrigued by that little square you're using for layout. Source?
Awesome video! Can you make one on setting up a kanna?
Beautiful
Which file do you use, in this video?
Great job!! 👍
Hola, me estoy iniciando en este tipo de trabajos, que madera usa ?
Excellent!
Hi , could yo write dimensions and angels that are necesery ?

あれ？裏金は使わないようにしたのですか？日本のカンナなら裏金の装着はマストだと思うのですが。
繊維方向に従って削る場合は裏金が必要ないです。また、刃口が狭ければ逆目も削れます。
@@dylaniwakuni 勉強になります。ありがとうございます。
So that’s how they make toilet paper..
