Setting up a Miniature Japanese Plane

[@MrSierraBravo]

Very relaxing and satisfying, thank you.

Thanks for watching!

I love miniature tools that actually function properly! I make small pieces and use all those veritas miniatures. Great to see how you set that plane up!

Your set of mini tools is adorable!

You make this look so much easier than I did it, haha. My tiny planes took hours to figure out how to hold the blade to sharpen correctly without rounding the bevel.

[@AdrianPreda]

Crazy things happens here also :)) If the 1 and 5k went pretty smooth, when I've reached the end of sharpening at 8k I decided to give another 25-50 final strokes, but Idk what happened, maybe hand was tired, I have made a tiny round bevel...so again back to 5k, again to 8k. But the worst was this, after all kanna tuning finished, I was anxious to try it without filming, so I found a scrap pine piece lying in the shop and give it a try. After a few shavings some weird high pitch noise sound...because I'm doing a little renovation in my workshop, so construction materials there etc, a very tiny, let's call it itsy bitsy like in the title :)), piece of cement thing was stucked into that wood and made a damn hole in the blade's tip :) So there I went again resharpening the blade.

[@bartjanfilius9544]

I was wondering with what kind of tools you were setting the plane up. Tiny tools of course! I should have known. Thanks for a very useful and nice video.

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks! Wasn't initially intended, I just wanted to tune the little thing, but when doing it I found they were the most suitable😀

[@bartjanfilius9544]

Thanks again, I learn a lot from your posts!

[@AndreiIR000]

Very nice!!!

[@PMBRICOLEUR]

Hello. I admit my ignorance. I did not know that the table behind the blade was higher than the one in front on the Japanese planers. Nice video. Thank you for sharing.👍

[@AdrianPreda]

From what I've learned too, if the plane is used for fine finish or rough work you only need the surface in front of the blade, and there also just 2 contact points, in front of the blade, and at the end of the sole, same I did when I've used the miniature western plane to create that hollow. For intermediate work, trueing boards of woods, you need 3 contact points, those 2 mentioned before in front of the blade, and one on the back/end of the sole/plane, behind the blade, the part that I have recessed completely, since I'm using the plane just for smoothing.

[@jnnyhomicide]

[@JohnColgan.]

Lovely job, mini Kanna, mini chisels, mini plane, I'm sure your blade setting hammer is far too big !! Very relaxing to watch and lovely clean cut

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks! True, must make a mini hammer as well :)

[@bauerleinjohn]

Can you explain why the plane bottom has to have a lower portion in the middle of the material in front of the blade and also the portion removed behind the blade? Is it so it slides easier? I think of steel hand planes and I thought their bases are completely flat.

[@PlanB_design]

It's commonly said to reduce frictions between the plane and the material, and not picking up small high spots, but fundamentally, the composition of Japanese plane won't allow the whole surface to be flat. As the blade goes deeper into the wooden block, the block around the blade gets pushed away, and the surface gets distorted. So let's say the whole surface is flatten within 0.01mm at a certain blade depth. If you can replicate the setup exactly the same, then it could work, but it's possible it stops working by the change in moisture or blade wear outs, which reduces the amount of stick out. More blade stick outs, more distortion, no shavings. In real life, we change the blade depth by situations like roughing and finishing, and the plane must be set to work at those various situations. Wood can warp, twists day to day, so just having the essential spots to be in the same plane is just easy to maintain.

[@paulbirkpowlly]

Wow so cool.

Super nice! I wondered why do you use the glove while sharpening? I never have and I want to know if I should! Thanks :)

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks! Only for this smaller blade, to have a better grip. You can also use some tape around your fingers.

[@emiliolbd7424]

Maravilloso.......

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks!

[@BigRonxxxx]

Adrian Preda are you planning on doing a build project with all of your small tools if so it would be very interesting to watch,maybe a Japanese carpenters style tool box to hold all of them

[@AdrianPreda]

I do have in mind one day, like a western style tool cabinet, since all except this baby kanna are western types, and also to gather more tools :) They are quite expensive, 50-60$ each and there are still many to be bought :))

[@BigRonxxxx]

@@AdrianPreda If you decided to make some of them and the box that would be great content for your channel,anyone who watches channels like yours would love to see you fabricate as many as you can,and with most of the steel part being so small you just need a propane torch and a toaster oven just a thought whatever you do i'll watch it,all the best to you and your family and thank you for sharing all of this with us

Mersi! Sa lase urme pe sejutul ei sa-i zic asa, ca apoi sa stiu unde sa iau cu dalta, ca in final lama sa ajunga cam la 1 mm departare de gura doar asa fortat cu mana. Ele vin asa de cumparat, trebuie sa ti le tunezi tu.

Hope u don't mind me asking u a question or maybe somebody in the comments could let me know.. I want to buy sharpening stones for my chisels so which is the best to get? Can the same stones be used to sharpen planes aswell.. I see u brought 4 stones to the table??? Could they all be used for every tool that needs sharpening??

Nice video, but i wanna know why is the sole of the plane hollow and the heel is higher than the toes in your drawing? , you didn't explain why in the first setting-up plane video either Please enlighten me

Great video, Adrian. Is that little thing meant to be a novelty? Or do you actually envision using it?
