Greetings all,
We at Asheville Hardware just wanted to let all of you NCWWs know that Greg Paolini will be teaching an all day (10am - 5pm) Handplane Seminar on Saturday 11/6 at classroom facility. The Cost is $125 and there are still plenty of spaces available. Here is the course description taken from Greg's website:
"Nothing says old world craftsmanship like the whoosh of a well tuned hand plane, in the hands of a skilled craftsman, taking a gossamer shaving off a board. In this full day class, students will learn about various planes as well as how and when to use them. We will thoroughly cover plane nomenclature on various styles of western bench and bevel up planes. Students will tune and set up a western style bench plane, review sharpening, and learn proper technique for edge and face jointing with a hand plane. During the day we will perform various real world planing exercises, including planing down to a reference surface (flush planing), and flattening a glued up panel. Troubleshooting and Q&A will be addressed throughout the day.
Every student who has taken this course, without exception, has left being able to produce full width shavings they can read through!"
So if anyone out there is up for it, give us a call or come on by and learn from an expert how to tune, use, and maintain your planes.
