Hey all! A few updates and of course a (slightly later than intended) reminder that tomorrow Thursday May 8th is our monthly meetup from 6-8 pm at Nihonsan Tools, with some surprises and special guests planned!
Updates:
Maine Japanese Woodworking Festival - July 24 - 28 - register now! Nihonsan Tools will be there selling tools and more, and it is an incredible opportunity to meet a ton of folks and learn a lot. Any questions or if you want to go and need (or can offer!) a ride just let us know.
Books. We now have books for sale at Nihonsan! In addition to the few we have stocked up to now, we now have 7 more English language titles available for purchase. Most of them are already on the website and the rest will be shortly. Of course they are available in the shop anytime.
Vintage tools! As of this week we will be carrying a wide range of vintage Japanese hand tools. These tools range from needing work to totally restored and ready to go. These are handmade tools, and so they are for people up to the challenge of learning how to use a higher level tool, or those who already know how. A great opportunity to dive deeper into Japanese woodworking. William Watson, who is our vintage tool guy, will be at the shop for the meetup tomorrow and for about a week after so stop by and talk with him to learn more when we are open!
