MaFe style Kanna II
Japan meets Krenov
Pictures:
1. The Naga-Dai-Kannas first shaves.
2. The old Japanese kanna-mi (plane iron) that inspired me to the project.
3. Restoring the blade.
4. Resetting the edge of a Japanese kanna-mi.
5. Fitting the kanna.mi in the dai (body).
6. Drilling for the uragane-dome (pin).
This post is from the blog: http://lumberjocks.com/mafe/blog/40431
This is kind of cheating – since I did post the plane earlier, but at that time it was only the dai (body) that was done, but I was just so proud, that I could not wait, to share the build I did in Scotland, during the visit to my friend Jamies place.
Now the kanna is up and running and I posted two blogs: one about restoring the old Japanese plane iron and one about the final setup and mounting of the plane iron.
(So those who don’t like recycle posts, run away fast). ;-)
For quite some time now I have had three wishes that I wanted to fulfill in one project.
1. To have a Japanese Naga-Dai-Kanna (jointer plane).
2. To combine the Krenov plane building style with Japanese planes.
3. To find use of a beautiful old hand forged Japanese plane iron that I had purchased some time back.
This project was making this possible and was made while I visited my friend Jamie in Scotland.
Now it is finally a reality.
Blogs:
The build in Scotland: http://lumberjocks.com/mafe/blog/37783
The restore of the blade: http://lumberjocks.com/mafe/blog/40427
Hope this post can bring some inspiration, who knows, perhaps we will see some MaFe san style planes in the future, I have searched the web and not found even one made in this way.
Jamie please look at the blog and thank you for making this possible.
Best thoughts,

That is a stunning tool. Well done. You should be extremely proud. What are the dimensions of the Dai? And what are your blade and bevel angles? I have been playing around with japanese style planes for a while and would really like to make something like this to add to the arsenal.
Take care

Nice, the shavings look nice. Very long in the front,
I have always wondered if you have planed an area, then wouldn’t you want the back really long, since that is already trued???

Sweet Mads, as is life itself.
Your loving attention to detail is all over this fine instrument.
I think if someone showed me this plane and asked who might have made it, I could answer correctly.
This is a very Mads plane.
Very best thoughts
