[@doedeldidoedelda]

Superb explanation! This is by far the best video for tuning the sole.

Super helpful video. Thank you

Quite a complex procedure atleast to me ,very well clearly explained and demonstrated thank you.I bought an inexpensive Japanese hand plane ,Ive probably improved it about 40 or so percent not knowing I had to do this to the sole. It's s still a great useful tool as is though.

Excellent! Thanks for sharing

Very nice. I think the video means “co-planer” instead of “parallel”.

It is true that "co-planer" is a more appropriate expression. Thanks for pointing that out☺

[@escapefelicity2913]

well done!

Is that procedure applicable for smaller kanna plane too? I mean block plane (30mm/40mm) or for bigger kanna plane only? (50mm/60mm/70)

Thanks for the comment. The approach is the same for a small planer. We prefer to adjust the bottom of the body for a more accurate finish.
