Kanna technique

jeudi 3 avril 2014

I recently purchased a 65mm Koyama hand plane as my first entry into the world of Japanese hand planes. I've watched/read as much as I could on how to set them up. But I still don't think I have the proper technique.



I've set up the kanna as a smoother, with two touch points: just before the blade cuts and at the heal (the part closest to me when i pull), with clearance int he front (the part furthest away from me when I pull).



Yet when I near the end of my pull stroke, thee kanna can only be touching on one touch-point, as the other is already off the work piece. As a result, the angle of the blade into the wood becomes less supported, and I keep digging into the beam.



I was wondering what I'm doing wrong?



Also for some reason after I plane enough, when I check with a straight edge, it looks like my work piece is becoming concave slightly.



Any tips/diagnoses would be much appreciated. Thank you!
