This is the best series i have come across for setting up a Kanna. So well detailed and explained, particularly this last one and the importance of the chipbreaker 👏🏼

All this care and attention to a metal block plane and using the tapping front and back method will produce amazingly good results .Just get the metal sole flat on a diamond plate. Use red rubber grease (which stays where you put it ) on any screw adjusters. The Japanese methods will improve any metal plane .

Love this series, the only thing missing is seeing you take a shaving at the end!

This is a great series, definitely tempted to get a Japanese plane.
