Thanks for starting your vid with the loudest sound possible after I had to crank up the volume for the last channel I watched. Glad I wasn't wearing headphones.
When cutting the slot and mounting the blade, try leaving your beam several inches longer and cut the excess off after satisfied with the blade mount. Then it won’t split as often.
I know it's not redwood you're using, but could you soak the wood to help get the blade in easier? Also good lord, what a brilliant design...it's like it's got a switch to change the depth lol!
That is a good thought. However wood tends to expand when you soak it in water, so if you're trying to insert a blade into a snug slot it would probably make it even harder to do so. And yes it's a really cool little design isn't it? I'd like to meet the guy who first came up with it all those years ago
Not all white oak responds in this manner. There are multiple species of white oak that responds in the same manner as red oak. Found this out the hard way in preparing wood for a major repair to a tall ship keelson. Had to test every piece of wood we used (Kalmar Nyckel).
Funny, informative, and straightforward... You did an impeccable job with this project, thank you for your insight and craftsmanship! Much appreciated Btw, baby bull moose...mooses? Moosen? Anyway, those babies are adorable
I hear you man i am on a tiny apartment balcony myself sawing in the cold Canadian winter and planing on my kitchen counter. You got to do what you got to do!
Maybe if you had applied a little dish soap or rubbed your blade with some wax; it might of inserted a little easier into your slot. I know that this works well when inserting screws. Mark

Amazing explanation on the red and white oak. Welcome that more! Keep up the posts, love your work!

Yup, did it later on in the video. Still have this gauge after all these months
Dang-it. Totally saw that coming. :) Great job. Getting a blade.
looks useful. Next time leave the beam longer for fitting the blade to help reduce/prevent splitting then cut to length
El Woods yup, I definitely learned that the hard way with this one
nothing better than making your own tools and your honest enough to put it all up so good stuff. Looking forward to more.
I can see this tool being very usefulness! Thank you for sharing.
great looking wari-kebiki. looks like one I saw on Facebook!
Thanks sir!
Must be why the use White Oak for wine barrels. How do you get the blade out when you want to sharpen it?
I've always wondered about this type of Japanese cutter. where did you find the blade. thanks
Hida tools
すごく良い動画でした。私はあなたの他の動画にも興味を惹かれました。
私は英語が理解できないので残念です。

気に入ってもらってうれしいです。ご清覧ありがとうございました. Thanks!
Is the blade bevel on the wrong side
It isn't
What was the book the you referenced in the beginning? Also, I have been meaning to ask... do you have a favorite resource for where you learn from?
I believe the book he mentioned is "Japanese Woodworking Tools; their traditions, spirit and use" by Toshio Odate
This certainly puts a premium on thin stock..............how is that made with hand tools?
With planes and saws usually. Cut it down thin and then remove the saw kerf with a plane.
Verry verry Amazing .how did you make your blade and how many degrees?
I bought the blade from Hida Tool

Bob Morgan indeed, this was between red oak and white oak.
Where'd you get the mini plane and router plane?
The mini plane came from Japan. the router plane came from Moberg tools
How do you get the blade put to sharpen? I suggest a tapered slot and wedge.
To remove the blade you simply put the blade on a piece of scrap wood and strike the outside edge of the beam with a hammer.
Funny, informative, and straightforward...
You did an impeccable job with this project, thank you for your insight and craftsmanship!
Much appreciated
Btw, baby bull moose...mooses? Moosen?
Anyway, those babies are adorable
cool! what is the book you mentioned?

I hear you man i am on a tiny apartment balcony myself sawing in the cold Canadian winter and planing on my kitchen counter. You got to do what you got to do!

looks great for cutting veneer
HAHA i love the ''encouragement device''
Lmao this is like the equivalent brute force of Japanese technique. But I had fun watching and enjoyed this video. Am considering making one myself.
👌👌👌
Do you have the item # of the blade you used?
Hi Lara, if you look in the description I added a link to the blade from Hida Tool
