Because the hand plane is an essential part of the woodworker's toolbox that can add style and elegance to any
project, this instructional video explains in detail how to successfully set up and use grooving, molding, shoulder, and miter planes, as well as fillisters and spokeshaves, among others. Instructions are provided for making a special plane, as are tips on what to avoid and what to look for when buying a used plane. The friendly and simple style of instruction will teach every woodworker how to both save time and increase productivity.
