Cleaning, Sharpening, Honing, Tuning. You may have an old hand plane that you have inherited or just couldn't resist as a good buy at a garage sale. Then, when you tried to use it, the results left a lot to be desired. All planes, even a brand new one, need tuning and some planes may even need a complete rebuild. If you have a plane that needs some TLC or a new one you need to learn how to tune and clean, this class will show you techniques to make your plane work efficiently. You will start with taking the plane completely apart, evaluating the condition of the parts, and fixing them as needed. You will learn how to sharpen and hone the iron with a provided jig. You will need to bring your own bench plane of any size. The plane can be rusty, but it should not be so rusted to prevent adjustments. Class includes a Veritas MK II Honing Guide #833173
