Please tell me the types of Japanese hammers There are two major types of hammers in Japan. This hammer is called Genno. The Genno features are flat on one side and rounded on the other. Basically, you use the flat side to hit the chisel head. strike a nail Basically, I use the flat side for various purposes. It is also used when adjusting the plane blade. Basically it is used to hit the chisel's head and hit a nail. For example, first drive the nail to the proper position.
When the nail head reaches the surface of the material when you want to further sink the nail head from the surface of the material. This rounded side is sometimes used This will allow you to work without damaging the wooden surface. It is a very convenient hammer that can be used like that. I often use the rounded side to compress the tree. It can be compressed without damaging the tree. So the work of compressing wood is very well
To do. For that It is rounded.
This is Genno. I will explain the other hammer.
One side is pointed and the other side is flat. This hammer is called kanazuchi. Use this to use the nails and sink the nail head more firmly Furthermore, such planes To adjust
with the round side of the Genno. Hit the body Also when adjusting the back of the blade This pointed side I sometimes use it. This allows you to adjust the back of the blade. I think I can do most of the things with these two.
