About Getting Started With Handplanes: How To Choose, Set
Product Description With this book and a well-chosen and correctly maintained set of planes, you will be able to handle any type of wood in every woodworking situation. In an age of power tools the traditional handplane still has a place. Working with handplanes is often quicker, and leaves a cleaner finish. Versatile handplanes can be used as a router, thickness planer, or edger. They can accomplish jobs that would otherwise require expensive, specialized power tools. Author and woodworking instructor Scott Wynn teaches how to choose, set up, maintain, and master the basic variations of this indispensable hand tool. Scott shows how to discern the difference between each style of plane, how to select one that's best for your approach to woodworking, and how to setup and maintain different types. Getting Started with Handplanes is loaded with technically rich diagrams, illustrations, practical advice, and skill building exercises. Review Scott Wynn's Getting Started with Handplanes is a true tour de force of information about these wonderful tools. A person new to woodworking will be aided with insight to select, restore, fine tune, and use the basic planes needed to build fine furniture. As an educator, furniture designer, and maker with over 30 years of experience, I was excited about how much this book can still add to the conversation. The wonderful color illustrations, (each one a true work of art) accompanied with concise written explanations will be a valuable resource throughout a creative career. --Glen Guarino, Guarino Furniture Designs About the Author A fourth generation craftsman, Scott Wynn brings a lifetime of involvement in craft, art, and design to his work.
