Using Hand Planes

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.
