Japanese Oire Nomi Chisel Set - 3 Pieces
I was a professional and, now at 67, a hobbyist. I use my tools and see their value in the job they do. The largest of the three chisels is now a constant companion of mine in my shop!
42mm Mini Hand Plane - Eco Oak Body
I found this listing on Amazon for such an affordable price and figured, why not try?Immediately, I felt like I was holding a premium tool in my hand, with the plane's body smooth as glass, heavyweight, and the wood a beautiful, glassy surface. I couldn't believe I paid almost $200 for my Western plane when I could have started with this.
Precision Woodworking Saw Kit -4 type blades
Changing blades only takes a couple of seconds. There's a very innovative latching mechanism that holds the blade securely in place. But it's also very easy to unlatch. Build quality is top-notch... exactly what I would expect from a 75-year-old Japanese tool maker.
