Hand tool woodworking is the ultimate in relaxation. No screaming power tools to distract you—just the pleasure of using fine tools to create your masterpiece. A properly tuned hand plane is a key player in that list of tools, but setting one up is a mystery to the uninitiated. In this class we will go over some of the history of hand planes and discuss the various types and their uses. Tips for selection and maintenance are also discussed. From there, you will do a deep dive into the anatomy of a hand plane and learn what each part does and why. A sharp blade is critical to a well performing hand plane and you will be instructed on how to achieve a razor sharp edge that will sing as it slices wispy shavings from the workpiece.
Bring your own plane or use one of ours.
