Now that is funny, love the name of the "Japanese" blade too!![]()
I think it was that last picture that reminded me...




Hey Stu!!
I was waiting for you to see that!!!

Dovetail Demo Dude said:I like to use a Sharpie Marker cause it's a lot easier to see

I always look forward to Lee Valley's springtime tool releases. Great stuff, Mr. Lee!
Stu, is there an English translation for the blade name?
you could put it on your nightstand and cut a few before bed....

Hi Vaughn -
Stu would (hopefully!) tell you that it translates as "short useless"
Cheers -
Rob




Literally, "Short Useless" but it could also be "Less than useless"![]()
Nice!![]()
"pocket tool"? I'm wondering how he got the bench, bench vise, mallet, square, plane and what all other tools he used into his pocket.
BTW, don't Japanese saws cut on the pull stroke only?
The tool is only a gadget/gimmik, IMHO.
But, keep in mind, this opinion comes from someone who has never cut a dovetail.![]()
