Hand Plane Fundamentals |
|
Nothing says old world craftsmanship like the
whoosh of a well tuned hand plane, in the hands of a skilled craftsman,
taking a gossamer shaving off a board.
In this full day class, students will learn about various planes
as well as how and when to use them. We will thoroughly cover
plane nomenclature on various styles of western bench and bevel up
planes. Students will tune and set up a western style bench plane,
review sharpening, and learn proper technique for edge and face jointing
with a hand plane. During the day
we will perform various real world planing exercises, including planing
down to a reference surface (flush planing), and flattening a glued up
panel. Troubleshooting and Q&A will be addressed
throughout the day. Students are encouraged to bring
their own hand plane, which we will tune during class
Every student who has taken this course, without exception, has left being able to produce full width shavings they can read through! This class is limited to only 6 students, so you'll receive lots of instruction & personal attention ! |
