Edit
I of late bought a bird from Alex http://www.thejapanblade.com/ The blade in addition to fleck breaker dates from the 1950 but had non been used, this was purpose of a large stock that Alex bought from a store that unopen downwards inward rural Japan.
The blade is marked Tadatsuna which was done past times mitt rather than stamped. The hammer hits inward the background are a reminder of the blade forming process.
I am no goodness on the tuning procedure thus I would appreciate whatsoever assistance in addition to advice that may ameliorate my method.
I rubbed the dorsum of the blade alongside a soft pencil in addition to pushed it downwards into the Dai (plane block). The witness marks are in addition to thus removed in addition to the procedure repeated until the blade fits. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 really goodness article inward Australian Wood Review periodical of late described the making of a Dai which was really informative. The blade plumbing equipment procedure nevertheless took five hours, which is plenty to seat anyone off! Mine was done inward most xxx minutes which involved taking the blade inward in addition to out most 25 times.
Instead of using a normal chisel, I used a blunt edged chisel every bit a scraper, which was much easier in addition to cleaner. If you lot haven't seen this technique in addition to thus accept a hold off at Bill Carters website http://www.billcarterwoodworkingplanemaker.co.uk/12.html in addition to become downwards to 'using terra firma off chisels'
The side past times side phase is to salve the base of operations thus that in that location are are only ii places touching the work, only inward front end of the blade in addition to at the front. I'm using a scraping bird but the blunt border chisel industrial plant only every bit well.
The blade came razor sudden in addition to the fleck breaker required about adjusting alongside a hammer in addition to and thus it was fourth dimension to orbit it try. The rima oris was non every bit tight every bit would accept liked in addition to I volition bargain alongside this later, nevertheless it worked really good on about beech.
