Craftsmanship in Wood

That's true, are you going to employ further exclamation point austerity measures?

Playin' things day by day.

I have just placed an order with So for a couple of 210mm ryoba blades and an Azebiki suitable for joinery. I've always found him great to deal with, very thorough, but I think he is a victim of his own success and has more orders than he can deal with. He's always been prompt replying to my orders but I first ordered from him years ago (and I'm local) and I suspect he prioritises existing customers. That plus my orders are typically simple.

I am also anxiously awaiting further details of this mysterious chisel order.

Glad to see this thread has had some activity while I've been away. I find that I'm enormously grateful to my past-self for starting it, as it neatly lets me pick up where I left off. I'll be visiting Japan for ~three weeks in December, so I might try to pick up a few things on that trip if that turns out to make sense.

The time difference definitely slows down communication for me, most of the time people are replying back to me at about 2am~.

So's website is generally super fast, his father runs the shopping cart and ships out inventory pretty quickly. My past few orders through the cart have been quicker than anyone else.
