They must be very expensive tools, with all that skilled labour going into each one. Great to see traditional tools and traditional skills being maintained in this current world of short cuts to the disposable/consumable cheapest options. These skills and traditions should continue forever, because once they're lost, they're gone.
Yes and no. I made my own out of a white oak block using a 65mm blade that I got for I think 13.50 Caadian. It is still one of my favourite planes, I use it all the time. The blade is excellent, though the sub blade was cheap. I have Japanese and western tools of all prices, so I am not just easily satisfied. At that time the top Japanese plane was selling for 1600 US, I think it was a Sudahide. Later, I got a catalog of Japanese tools, it was about 1/2" thick. Page after page of multiple listings for all kinds of Japanese tools, including plane blades, and they were very inexpensive. We see a lot of these art level tools for sale over here, but the reality is the Japanese make thousands of other tools, industrially, and they are all very good, and rather cheap. Indeed, most the the High end Japanese tools we see here are reasonably priced if they were compared to what US blacksmiths, often self taught from RUclips for a few years, Vs the Japanese tradition that can be uninterrupted from centuries old artisans passing on their skills. Also, the Japanese tools are a style. You could make a plane blade in that style, in a home shop, for pennies. Then you just need under a foot of hardwood 2x4. The point being that to make those tools industrially in the WEST, if people wanted them, would be a lot cheaper than the stuff we actually do make.
They are expensive. But less expensive versions can be had that can be adjusted and brought up to spec with some work. The blades are the most important part though. The wood bodies are all pretty basic.
Love the video, but can't read Kanji. It would help if you could add the equivalent translation for English somewhere so that it would be easier to know what is what!
Incredible craftsmanship though I wonder how sustainable it is. The cost of these amazing tools is so high that it is very difficult to warrant paying so much for them. The traditional English wooden plane is just as capable.
Please continue providing to the world such amazing videos of japanese craftsmen
They sure cut good! Thank you.
Holy crap! This is more than fascinating.
glad you like it!
sooo amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you so much for sharing this video!
You are so welcome!
Super
Kind of crazy how he doesn't even break a sweat in front of that heat.
And i love how japan has a master level for every step of every product.
I'm glad you loved it!
Very interesting that they pull their planes towards themselves. Nice video!
@Stephen Jordan Not only planes - saws too.
I MUST buy some authentic Japanese hand tools one day.
don't stop posting videos!
A tool that look so primitive and simple that can achieve wood shavings at 16+ microns! Never judge a book by the cover as they say!
Then it's a cheap version.
It can go down to 4 micron.
It's insane, but it's possible.
@@janee7995 i've seen shavings thiner than 3 microns in competitions.
@@janee7995 what's a good brand/maker for intermediate level that offers good value and performance? Thanks!
@@jojo5544 on western planes : veritas Lee Nielsen. On Japanese planes : I have no idea. As I don't own any Japanese planes
@@janee7995 ok thanks!

Nice stuff although I've had problems adjusting these planes. Power hammer users obviously don't have close neighbours.
👋👋👋👍
I am really high to be watching this
magnifique

10:02 using a plane to plane a plane
Hand plane's blade making
Japan: 1 blade, 1 week;
China: 😒 10,000 easy.
China has their higher quality tools too. But they of course do produce A LOT of cheap crap, as you indicated.
The grass that’s being used to build carbon, can you use any wheat type grass?? Or is it exclusive for the area??
I think it's rice straw which is pretty commonly used in blacksmithing/swordsmithing in Japan.
Я бы такой купил если это можно .

Whats with the music? The music made this unwatchable.
