Thanks again Mads. You’re a great source of informations and inspiration.
And as someone said: You can’t never have enough clamps, right? (and planes as well!)

Best (I mean it),

You really are a fanatical rhykenologist. Very interesting blog on Japanese planes, just enough to make me
wish I had more hours in the day to pursue this subject. The planes themselves look great, the addition of
the MAFE brand definitely improves them. Thank you once again for sharing your skill and interest with us.

Hi guys,
Yes I found a little window of time in my holyday to make a plane and play a little with Japanese tools.
Actually I am working on a shaving horse, but used a Japanese plane and was so excited that I had to learn more, so I ‘eat’ some books on the French holyday and this learned me a lot and inspired me to make this little scraper plane.
Gus, yes I guess I live up to my name… I have planes from so many counties and periods, and love them all for each their history and way to be used. Thank you for the compliment on my new MaFe branding iron in Japanese style, I think also it really fit these Japanese planes well.
Dan, yes life is well here, summer and sun, my fiancé Caro is here and we spend a day with the kids on a wonderful National museum of old houses where I had the chance to look at old workshops from the 1600-1800, so yes sweet is the word.
Lars, tell me if you go! I would love to get the chance one day to go to Japan, it is a old dream of mine.
Ken, thank you, yes I enjoy and especially to have a moment of smelling fresh cut wood in the middle of the holydays… Hope also you are fine and full of smiles.
DonW, I also wish I could keep up with me… Laugh. Yes life should have more hours. Smile.
Ian, not only to the collection but to my hands and joy, I love to use these Japanese planes. Actually the wood planes talks more and more to me, and I like to pull a plane rather than to push it, it is a clever way to use the weight of your body, so I am sure I will end up with a combination between many nationalities of ways to work wood.
Freddy, big smile, I always have a bunch of projects going, it is a sickness I guess…
Topa, yes, the hen and the egg… I love that one.
Michael, these Krenov style planes are so easy to make that once you made a few it is so easy that it is really nothing. I start to enjoy this and have a few on the table when time is there.
Ike, that book is so wonderful, there are no planes but all you need to know to make whatever plane you want, I wish I had that book when I made my first.
CJ, big smile here – and an even bigger when I use them.
Serge, you made me laughed big time. Yes I actually think we can have too many planes, if a plane do not call for you to use it, it is too much… But with all the choices I have they can’t all be used… And I have a strict rule that I can only have one of each size or kind, but this still leaves a wide open gap to fill. Laugh.
Kent, ;-)
David, smile, and now I smile in Japanese also…
Thank you all for your kind comments, I have a warm smile on my lips thanks to you.
I will try and find time to post my blogs on setting up Japanese planes and chisels soon.
Best thought,
Mads
