Peter takes you on a passionate guided tour through the fantastic range of hand planes available to woodworkers and furniture makers, and shows how to select the most suitable plane for a variety of tasks and difficult grain types.
He demystifies Common, York, Middle and Cabinet Pitch planes, and shares his experience on how to commission (fettle) new planes, improve performance, understand components and how to achieve consistent and accurate results.
Be inspired to bring out the best in your existing planes; find out how to save money by making the right tool choices for your work, whilst achieving the quality finish that beautiful timbers deserve.
