Handmade Kiradashi Video

For once the algorithm threw up something interesting to me. Apologies if it has been posted before.

Kiradashi

Fascinating video, zero health and safety and I love that so much is done by eye and that I now understand why the Kiradashi blade shape is as it is.

That was good to watch, thanks for sharing

That handle shaping disc is smart!

I enjoyed that, cheers.

that was a lovely little video

I need to shuffle my forge and power hammer around so I can sit down. The drill/morticer is a nice looking bit of kit (I like the huge counterweight to lift the quill instead of a spring).

Like Stew, I loved the handle shaping disc. Looking at the shavings coming off, it's clearly got planer type blades on the face of it and would strip your hand to the bone if you glanced by it! I want one

I went back and looked at it again - looks like at least four planer blades on it. Deadly yet awesome!

yeah. I still want one

I use an Arbortech turbo plane to carve spades from 2" thick oak boards. It's the same type of thing but 110mm across and fits an angle grinder. It's amazing how much material you can carve of with very little pressure!
