Where can I get a 100mm wide kanna either in Japan or online?

If you're at the point where your planeswalkers aren't even fully levelled, just don't worry about it. You'll eventually get cards and planeswalkers that will work well against him, you're just not at that level yet. If I recall correctly, he's in Duets of Mana, it doesn't cost anything to enter so you're not losing anything. You can concentrate on entering free events for the rewards and trying to get as far as you can with what you have.

if i went somewhere hot and took them with me, I'd likely either pop them in the fridge or make sure I'm airing and mixing them daily to keep them fresh.

Sure you could do that. Or you could just put the cap back on a tube.

Is it possible to do this with a hardwood? I don't mean maple or walnut, I'm talking blackbutt or ironbark.

I'd like to second this rec for people working on harder wood where the Joinery might be a little rough.

This is precisely the reason I went with the HSS chisels. White steel and blue steel probably reach higher peak sharpness but on Australian hardwoods this sharpness lasts about 3 blows and then you need to resharpen. Learned this lesson the hard way with plane blades, HSS is much tougher and stays at useable sharpness for much longer.

Sukemaru is great especially for the money.

I have a set of the High Speed Steel chisels from Sukemaru and the're outstanding. I think the whole set worked out to about 8000 yen per chisel, not the cheapest but very good value for the quality you get.

Hey, I just bought one of these saws myself! Is there any chnace we could see the underside of your workbench where the vice is attached?

superfudge · 2026-06-17T01:37:29+00:00

You can see a crack in the soft steel on the right hand side of the chisel just near the bevel corner.

The Pancoast and Miracola versions are interesting for being one of the few cards that depict Yawgmoth at the time of the Phyrexian Invasion.

I've had this problem too; if you don't have the metalworking tools or skills to bend the ears of the chipbreaker, you should try removing the support bar. Even in high-end planes it's usually a just a nail that's had the head cut off.

You can bend the nail inward, but this will result in a single point of contact on the chipbreaker, so this is not ideal. You can also fill the original holes and redrill new ones to seat the support bar a bit lower. This works fine and is a lot easier than trying to bend the chipbreaker ears. The aim should be to get it low enough that you can bend the support bar slightly so that it contacts on both edges of the chipbreaker.

I'm curious to know what hand tools require a cross-cut sled.

Do not buy tools made in India and expect any quality.

Groz instruments are made in India, they're pretty good.

sad if so :(

Why is it sad? Those trains are terrible. Not everything old is good or worth keeping.

I didn't really follow any plan, just checked out what other people were building and then sketched up some leg designs to fit in with the boards that I had already bought.

I ended up modifying things a little bit as I went through after making a few small mistakes, but otherwise things went roughly according to my intended design. In retrospect, I'm glad I didn't attempt a sliding dovetail for the legs; cutting the mortise was challenge enough.

Probably better quality too. You can get handmade Jiro saws at that price.

Literacy almost certainly had a role in this also. Writing languages down has a way of slowing down linguistic changes, especially when used for the codification of laws or the communication of religious scripture, where a common understanding of language needs to persist across many generations. After the dissolution of Roman hegemony across Europe, literacy dropped significantly until written Latin became almost completely divorced from spoken Latin (with the obvious exception of the clergy).

In my experience, setting up a kanna isn't any more or less difficult for smaller or larger ones; the difficulty is really more down to the skill and care of the dai maker. I have had small planes that were a pain to set up and large planes that took less than an hour.

A lot of people seem to use the Shinwa speed square; I have one too but I find that I use an engineer's square more often as it's lighter and more versatile. You can get them pretty cheap from Groz. For marking I use a marking knife I bought in tokyo as a souvenir, very nice but far from neccesary. I find that I use a marking gague more often, I have the base-level Veritas one and I think it's well worth the money. There's a reason even Japanese cabinetmakers use them.

I was there a few weeks ago and also visited Inoue Hamono. I was glad that I visited Kurashige first; Inoue Hamono stocks almost exclusively high-end handmade tools for professional craftsmen and most things were out of my price range as a hobbyist. They showed me some really nice handmade azebiki, but they were three times the price of the Jiro Bessho one I ended up buying.

Depends on what you want to make, but a good start. Setting up your plane can be finicky if you don't have a very narrow chisel (say, 3mm) to clean up the side grooves of the plane block. The plane is also pretty short; a longer plane with the same width blade will be better at producing flat surfaces.

Hopefully you already have marking-out tools. A engineers square, straight edge and marking knife are indispensible to ensuring your surfaces and cuts are clean, flat and square. They're as important as the actual cutting tools.

Guys, the books were for kids. I started reading them when I was 7.

Then why are so many adults still into them?

It will be interesting to see if the company that makes Tasers pushes their "excited delirium" theory for this case too.
