Making Japanese Tools
This article by Craig Klucina describes a category of Japanese woodworking tools and how to make them. The article focuses on the Japanese plane. Known as a kanna in Japanese, this tool is used to smooth the surface of wood. It is used by the Japanese woodworker on projects such as building shoji screens and constructing step tansu. This 6-page article reviews information from a Japanese woodworking seminar Mr. Klucina attended. At the seminar each of the participants made their own Japanese hand plane.
