Hand Planes 101

Hand Planes 101

Overview

Hand Planes 101

In this modern world of whining and growling power tools, hand planes are often relegated to the shelf or to occasionally clean up a rough edge. Because of our reliance on power tools, we may have never taken the time to understand how planes work and more importantly how well they can work. The class will cover setting up the plane; sharpening; tuning; and using the plane for edge jointing, planning end grain, and surfacing. For the best experience, we recommend bringing a hand plane of your own, so you can tune it up and get hands on training.
