Description
Description
The Verum No. 101 Bronze Apron Plane is the most compact in the Verum block plane range, designed for delicate trimming and fine adjustments in detailed work. A favourite of pattern and model makers, toy manufacturers, and luthiers, it delivers smooth results with accuracy in the smallest spaces.
Inspired by the Stanley 101 first manufactured in the late 1800s, this modern Verum edition is crafted from cast bronze with a precision-machined 20° bed. The T10 carbon steel blade, ground at 25° and honed to 30°, provides an effective cutting angle of 50° — the renowned York Pitch that reduces tear-out and leaves an exceptional finish on fine timbers.
A simple blade adjustment screw and one-piece bronze cap, designed to fit comfortably in the hand, complete a plane that feels as good as it looks. At just 245g, it’s light, compact, and always to hand — the perfect apron companion for small tasks and delicate joinery.
Designed with Peter Sefton
Each Verum plane is the product of collaboration with Wood Workers Workshop’s owner, Peter Sefton — a master craftsman and woodworking educator. His expertise informs every design detail, ensuring the No. 101 is not only beautiful but also accurate, ergonomic, and a joy to use.
Ergonomics & Comfort
Bronze Cap in Hand
The one-piece bronze cap sits naturally in the palm, making the plane stable, comfortable, and easy to control for delicate work.
Lightweight & Agile
At just 245g, the No. 101 is light and nimble, perfect for one-handed trimming and fine joinery tasks.
Blade Control & Adjustment
York Pitch
The 50° effective cutting angle reduces tear-out, producing smooth surfaces even on challenging grain.
Simple Adjuster
The fine-threaded screw makes blade adjustment accurate and easy, ensuring consistent results.
