Learn how to use a benchplane with this double DVD for just £25 (p+p worldwide included)
The job going wrong? Noise, Dust, Aggravation? Machines are great but they put a distance between you and your materials, the wood. A hand plane sweetly cutting is the only way to get back in touch. Feel the fibres of the Oak, know that this is Ash, and how to use Ash by the way it cuts. Know it through your hands.
We teach these principles at the Rowden Farm Workshop, so you know it comes from 30 years experience as we take you through setting up the plane and improving its performance, understanding timber - why it moves and how to overcome it, how to finish to a true flat surface after machining, achieving "slightly hollow edge joints" that glue up with the invisible joint, and how to plane end grain without break out and get it dead flat.
