Tuning & Using Handtools

with Graham Blackburn

$565

$550 tuition + $15 material fee

Workshop Description

In this class, students will learn what a plane is really intended to do! Graham will demonstrate how to fettle, tune, and sharpen-regardless of whether the plane is made of wood, composite, or metal-old, rusty, new, INEXPENSIVE, or expensive. The course will focus primarily on bench planes (smoothers, jacks, and jointers), but if you have block planes, rabbets, or any specialty planes, Graham will show how to TUNE AND USE THEM. Make sure to bring WHATEVER planes you have.
