I very quickly realised there is a particular frame of mind required when working with this plane and jig that you need to tune into, in order to have a measure of success :)  A calm and quiet mood, and a willingness to enter into a conversation (almost a dance) with the timber and the tools, which you can't force.  You quickly realise whether it is the day for chopstick making or not!  The process can be quite humbling, which is not a bad thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI start by roughing out blanks taking a large chunk of Walnut or Jarrah and cutting it into 1cm x 24cm lengths on the bandsaw.  I give them a quick sand until they are 8mm all around, and then they go into the jig.  The smoothing plane \"kakuri\" is then applied to all sides, working with the grain of the timber until they are shaped just so.  This is a pull plane and creates the most incredibly beautiful timber curls (which I use when packaging your chopsticks).  The smoothing plane eliminates the need to sand the chopsticks, giving a gorgeous knife finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI then carve a lovely tiny bevel along each edge with a sharp knife, and then decide on the detail for the handle.
