Thank you :) Usually trying japanese tools means a high risk of adopt them ...

I will be teaching fine working to underprivileged children starting in a week or 2. When they were here last week I had them try out both western and Japanese saws. They found the Ryouba easier to use than a standard tenon saw. I see you are in Switzerland. I am originally from Ireland, but prefer the warmer climate here now. Good luck with your new channel

@@IrishChippy that's normal they prefer the ryoba, it's more natural and precise for beginners to pull the saw than pushing it ;) I'd love to go to Ireland one day (guiness drinker 😬). Wish you all luck too

I am going to need lots of luck. I have a severe dose of diarrhea this morning, and the official opening/blessing of the workshop is in 8 hours

Yes, just water ;)

WOW nice catch, i didn't see that. probably because it will make it softer and easier to chisel.

I'm curious about the same. Why wetting the wood?

it makes end grain paring easier on soft woods, prevents the fibers from tearing.
