We've scheduled a class with Bill Anderson to build a Krenov style plane for October 14 and 15 (9 am - 5 p.m. both days) at the Raleigh Woodcraft (919 781-1911).
In addition to building a beautiful plane, you will learn a classic style of building planes. Bill will have a 30+ page book for each student covering building the plane and jigs used, as well as excellent background on plane building. Students will also make a very useful brass headed hammer for adjusting your plane.
Woodcraft will provide all wood for the plane and a Hock blade and Bill will provide the brass piece for the adjusting hammer.
While I know there are simpler or faster ways to build a wooden plane Bill's process teaches how to make a beautiful, smooth cutting precision plane you'll be able to use for years. I know I use mine regularly and have had many customer try the plane with very positive feedback.
Hope to see you there!
