Get a Handle on Handplanes with Thomas Lie-Nielsen

We are pleased to offer this unique hands on class with America’s premier plane maker, Thomas Lie-Nielsen. This one day class will focus on the basics of using hand planes with an emphasis on sharpening techniques.  The class will also feature discussion and demonstration of setup, tuning, maintenance and using hand planes as well as choosing the right hand plane for the job.  Thomas will also discuss the history of Lie-Nielsen Toolworks and give you a look at a day inside this unique American company. Bring your handplanes with you as this will be a hands on class. Plan on spending a good portion of the morning getting those plane irons razor sharp. After lunch we will concentrate on setting up the planes and using them to take the finest full width shavings that you have only wished you could do before! Thomas will be happy to sign your tools if you wish. Don’t miss this exciting new class.

If you really want to overload on handplanes then make a weekend of it and sign up for Matt Bickford's "Using Wooden Molding Planes" Saturday & Sunday, January 21 & 22!
