Hello everyone, we are excited to announce our next gathering is Saturday September 6th 9:00-12:00. The shop will be open from 9-12:30.
In preparation for the Kezurou-kai USA national event Tak and I will be working specifically on tuning up our block planes - same dai adjustments, blade setting, and lots of sharpening. Please bring any Japanese hand tools you might have, especially a block plane, along with sharpening and setup tools. Just ask if you are not sure what you might need or don't have some things, we may be able to help.
For anyone that does not have a block plane or other hand tools, we strongly suggest purchasing some for yourself,
this plane from Suzuki tool in a 48mm width is recommended - it is a great plane to start with. Chisels, saws and whatnot can be purchased from
Suzuki tools,
Hida tools, etc. Don't hesitate to ask if you are unsure of what to get.
