Review: Worth reading, slowly and carefully. - An excellent book that I liked because it gave me some understanding of Japanese planes. After reading the book, I bought a small Japanese wooden plane and with only a bit of fiddling to set the blade I was able to get excellent results that matched my metal plane of similar size that also had a sharp blade. The only adverse comment is that page 143, labeled "Index" is utterly blank except for the title. Review: I hi bon - A great book. I’ve been a Japanese tool fan for many years. Apprenticed by Japanese carpenter in Hawaii. Best teacher of all. If I made a mistake he’d say how did we loose the war. I asked him why he’d teach a white guy. He said that no what I teach you you’ll never be as good as me The book is outstanding and is full of info. The author knows what he’s talking about ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #793,892 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #41 in Woodworking Tools (Books) #86 in Hand Tools (Books) #763 in Woodworking Projects (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 113 Reviews | ## Images ![Discovering Japanese Handplanes: Why This Traditional Tool Belongs in Your Modern Workshop (Fox Chapel Publishing) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Ic99yp8lL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth reading, slowly and carefully. *by M***Y on July 24, 2020* An excellent book that I liked because it gave me some understanding of Japanese planes.

The author knows what he’s talking about ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best available coverage of Japanese planes. *by G***W on January 12, 2018* This book provides the best explanation of Japanese planes I have seen. This includes a variety of specialty planes in addition to more typical bench planes. These are seldom covered and certainly not in the detail Scott Wynn provides. His coverage of how to construct Japanese planes is excellent and adds to the understanding of planes in general. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/48840136-discovering-japanese-handplanes-why-this-traditional-tool-belongs-in-your](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/48840136-discovering-japanese-handplanes-why-this-traditional-tool-belongs-in-your) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-29*
