The icon of woodworking, the hand plane, exists in many forms, from bench planes —smoothers, jack planes, and jointers — to moulding planes, and many special-purpose planes. In this class, students will learn what a plane is really intended to do! Graham will demonstrate how to fettle, tune, and sharpen it, regardless of whether the plane is made of wood, composite, or metal—old, rusty, or new or expensive. The course will focus primarily on bench planes (smoothers, jacks, and jointers) but if you have block planes, rabbet or any specialty plane, Graham will show how to use them efficiently. Make sure to bring all the planes you have as well as well as whatever sharpening stones, honing guides, and methods you may have. Graham will help you make them all work better and demonstrate a variety of helpful jigs you can make. You’ll never need sandpaper or sanders again!
