Description
Description
Our chopstick-making jig is a massive hit wherever we go. Aside from turning out aesthetically beautiful and functional chopsticks, it is a great introduction into the world of woodworking, a great learning tool for understanding grain in timber, and a gentle way of acquainting oneself with the function of a Japanese plane.
We are fond of setting up a few jigs (as many as we can fit, really) at shows, festivals and markets and letting people run riot. Children find the process of making their very own chopsticks fun and achievable, and adults gain the same immense satisfaction from a project well done that all woodworkers are familiar with.
This kit includes a chopstick making jig, a 42mm Japanese plane, and 6 timber blanks - enough to make three pairs of chopsticks. If you have access to a band saw or table saw, rip down your preferred timber to 8mmx8mm blanks and cut to the length of the slot in the jig for an almost unlimited supply of chopsticks. If you don't have access to such machinery, we offer blanks for sale for use with this jig.
For detailed instructions on using the jig, click here. Before its first use the plane will need to be setup - for detailed instructions on that process, click here. To keep your plane in optimal cutting condition, we recommend a 1000/3000 combination stone, which can be purchased here individually

Customer Reviews
Over the moon with both the plane and the jig! Had a great time setting the plane up and have already made my own blanks with Rimu (pictured) a native tree from over here in Aotearoa.
Thanks again JTA team, amazing products and customer service, I'm already looking forward to my next purchase.
Actually the truth is that I’ve been keen to get my kids spending more time in my workshop and using tools, and they’ve loved creating chopsticks and a pile of shavings. It’s a great set.
