re: Hatagane storage

Wow I love your commitment to perfection YRTi. However sometimes the lessons are in the journey. I did two semesters of furniture making with a chap who had studied and learnt furniture making in Japan. His main message was to be patient learn to recover from mistakes because everyone makes them, mistakes that is.
He referred to it as Zen woodworking ha ha ha. Your work is of a very high standard.
