For those interested in making a wooden Hand Plane we have space in a course starting Saturday Feb 15, 2020. This course runs over two Saturdays. Learn to make a wooden plane including how to sharpen and adjust it with the traditional plane hammer. One of the best ways to understand how a hand plane works and a joy to use. Many woodworkers use no metal bodied planes citing the ability to make a plane perfect for the job at hand and the fact that wood on wood has a lower friction than metal on wood. This makes for a super smooth gliding action in use. Lumber is supplied and blades are available for purchase at cost.
