When his wife finds out what he's done to her new cutting board ... :lol:

That's remarkable. Never seen anything like that in European woodworking.

Also have a look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrmCyADNhe0 to see the effort involved.

Good to see Japanese woodworking shows are the same as UK ones, lots of excitable elderly blokes jostling the exhibitors and droning on and on.

My goodness that really is quite exceptional.
Good find Brian, thanks

Impressive shaving..... Sharpening that would be a useful discussion.....,,,

Looks like hard work though

I watched though to one of the related videos - hewing a beam. A good example of the Japanese love of living dangerously, whilst using an adze at about 9:30 to 10 minutes in:

That's not a plane. It's a box filled with an army of very well trained spiders.

It certainly is very impressive.

This may be the place to mention that the Japanese also have a powered planing machine which makes piles of toilet paper in a very similar way - I've never heard of anyone using one over here, which seems a shame, as it seems to work so well:
