Sure, I&#8217;ll cover the basics but we&#8217;re going to drill down way beyond that so you will really know what you&#8217;re doing with handplanes. <strong>Among the areas we&#8217;ll cover:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Understanding bevel-down and bevel-up designs<\/li>\n<li>Tuning your plane: blade edge camber for different uses, mouth opening, preparing and setting the chipbreaker, etc.<\/li>\n<li>How to use the interactions among attack angle, chipbreaker settings (or no chipbreaker), mouth opening, and skewing the plane to get the performance you want<\/li>\n<li>What&#8217;s really happening with blade edge wear<\/li>\n<li>Blade steel differences<\/li>\n<li>Planing technique &#8211; hands and body<\/li>\n<li>The quality features that matter in new and used planes<\/li>\n<li>How to intelligently sort among the many options in jack, jointer, smoothing, and scrub planes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Bring your plane if available, as this class will be <strong>hands-on as well as demonstration<\/strong>. If you have a plane in need of rehab, bring that too \u2013 I&#8217;ll choose one from the group and fix it up.<\/p>\n<p>This class has been very well received in the past. In fact, a past attendee recently commented, &#8220;I took this course several years ago and it changed my woodworking.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Please call the store directly at 781-935-6414 to register, and see their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.woodcraft.com\/stores\/woburn\/classes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website<\/a> for the location and details.
