    Any thing with sharp teeth eats meat.
    Most powertools have sharp teeth.
    People are made of meat.
    Abrasives can be just as dangerous as a blade.....and 10 times more painfull.

    How good is that! Why are we wasting our time with our hamdplanes. Imagine the sharpness of the steel in that blade

    Astounding indeed!
    But what is the point? Taking off a billionth of an inch.
    Don't reckon he's squaring it up or anything.
    Wonder what grit sandpaper the guy uses for a final finish?
    Looks cool though nonetheless, his plane sure would carve some thin sushimi to boot.

    Marvellous. They are on another level. And the point dear Bodger is that they never touch sandpaper, you are looking at the best finish that is known to man, straight off the tool. And the finished piece shows respect for the tree, the craftsman and the building and will give quiet pleasure to all who know for the next...how many centuries? Thanks indeed for this very fine link.

    Actually, this is a time rendered tradition. The Japanese make logs of seaweed like this, then use the plane to scrape off thin seaweed shavings to wrap their sushi in, so it doesn't spill all over the place. The timber industry like this idea and it took off. Bet you didn't know that
