I have some Kaneshin bonsai tools. They are simple in design, very strong, and will cut me up in a heartbeat if I don't pay attention. I love them.

You can use this wood to make a chest.
Oh great, then I'll have a place to store all this wood for chest-making.

Huh…. So do most woodworking tools from Asia cut on the pull stroke? I’m thinking about the saws from Japan that are super accurate because of this design.

I see it’s “paper thin” but what about splinters?

2 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Splinter free toilet paper was not invented until the 1930s. As history repeats itself, about a decade away for that innovation to reemerge.

Probably gonna happen again soon.

yes... back in history it was steel that Japan could not produce, so if you got hold of some you made the best use of it.

Half of the tools in my belt I made myself or modified from another tool. It's harder to be a craftsman when you're not resourceful.

Wait 'til you look into hobby machining. Making your own tools is a huge part of the hobby. Hobby woodworking and metal working media is all 25% making tools and jigs, 50% shop organization projects and 25% actual entry level projects.

Yup. First big wood project I did was a workbench so I could make shelves. Hell, I think all I've ever printed on my 3d printer is parts fory 3d printer

They have competitions in Japan to make the thinnest cutting of wood. https://youtu.be/TZWayxKvACk?feature=shared

Japanese handsaws work in the same manner, far greater control when pulling vs. pushing. A must have for apartment/condo dwellers as they are easily stored and make little noise.

Western style hand planes are just too noisy

2 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

And western style handsaws are just stupid, they bend every time I try to cut!

2 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 2

They're robust and built for bulk work. Pull saws are more precise and for those moments where precision over speed is warranted. Neither one is better than the other. They can both have their place

It's important to use the correct saw for the task also, i.e., for crosscut vs ripping. Or for more precise work, something with more or less teeth, slimmer blades, etc. Then there is preference and technique. That said, I use both western and Japanese styles for different tasks
