How to Use Japanese Woodworking Tools

with Wilbur Pan

Wilbur Pan shows you why Japanese woodworking tools are a great addition to any shop! Japanese woodworking tools stay sharp longer, are easy to use, and are simple to maintain. That doesn't mean you need to use Japanese tools exclusively. In fact, not everyone should use Japanese woodworking tools — but you might want to try them!

You'll learn:

Why Japanese metallurgy creates tools that stay sharper longer than Western tools

How chisel and plane blade design makes sharpening more efficient

Steps to set-up and use Japanese chisels, saws and planes

Why working on the ”pull” is a good option

Things to look for when shopping for Japanese woodworking tools (and where to shop!)

And much more!
