How to Set Up a Chinese Plane (Old Video): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZkb_…
______________________________________________

Tools in this video (Affiliate):

Chinese Jack Plane: https://amzn.to/3vtWCUh
This one is my favorite. It’s made of a very hard wood and the handle is high and easy to grip. The one in this video is the 280mm model and I set it up for aggressive work.

Chinese Smoothing Plane: https://amzn.to/37GJxOk
This one is the same length as the one above, and it has a lower handle and the wood is a bit softer. Still a fine plane for the money. The only reason I call this my “smoothing” plane is that I set it up for fine work. A shorter plane would probably make an even better smoother.

Japanese Ryoba Saw: https://amzn.to/3kfcCD5
Many Ryobas are very good. This is my favorite of the 4-5 I’ve tried.

I am NOT posting a link to the carbide tools from this video because I hate them. They are cheap and low quality and I do not recommend them. If you’d like to suggest some good carbide tools, feel free to mention them in the comments. Thanks!
