    Ok so I know why some may have not seen it Rugby Union or late getting home from SWWS.

    Last nights segment on Pheobe from Sturt wood school was an eye opener to women in wood working. starts about 14.05 (yes Feltty got it right this time) Gardening Australia - Series 27 Ep 17 : ABC iview

    Anyone else notice that she was "pushing" a Japanese plane?

    That was an HNT Gordon Smoother (but his designs are rooted in Asian planes).

    Yes, probably more correct to say an Asian style plane.

    I have never "pulled" a tool other than my large spoke shave. However in thinking about the dynamics I could see how it could be a more natural operation.

    What I mean is - HNT planes are all "push".

    I have a Mujingfang plane that I push mostly and it works fine. Having tried the pull method for asian planes and not been comfortable with it. I guess I am a bit stuck with what I grew up doing. That said it is handy at times to use a pull stroke and save time having to reverse the work piece. Even a stanley type plane can be pulled now and then.

    John (Yanis) you may not be aware of Phoebe or HNT but this might give you a bit of insight.

    In case anyone missed her comments about preferring handtools to machines (accompanied by a wry smile).....I was at Sturt the day she got a hand wedged in the giant disc sander there....

    Explains a lot.

    That would tend to put you off machines a bit.
    I watched her segment on TV and was in basic agreement about hand tools. I still use machines for the grunt work but the "quiet, being in a better place" woodwork is at the bench with hand tools.

    As long as the blade is cutting it doesn't matter which way you use it as log as it produces the finished product.
