Timber Hand Plane Workshop

SKU

A well-tuned hand plane is one of the most rewarding tools to use in the workshop—but imagine the satisfaction of using one you’ve built yourself. In this 4-session workshop, join Sam Edwards as he guides you through the process of crafting your own wooden hand plane from premium hardwood, complete with a Melbourne Tool Company blade and brass pin. You'll learn essential woodworking techniques, from precision marking and cutting to fine-tuning and blade setup, ensuring your plane produces beautifully smooth shavings. Along the way, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how hand planes work, how to adjust them for peak performance, and how to maintain them for years to come.

Throughout the sessions, you'll shape and assemble your plane using a mix of hand tools and machinery, learning key skills like glue-up and truing, wedge fitting, mouth opening, and sole flattening. With time permitting, you’ll also craft a custom adjusting mallet, the perfect companion to your new hand plane. By the end of the workshop, you'll have a functional, handcrafted tool ready for finishing at home—just add a coat of hardwax oil or natural wax, and it's ready for a lifetime of use.

Whether you're looking to elevate your woodworking skills or simply love the idea of building your own tools, this workshop is an unmissable experience. Spaces are limited—book now and start your journey toward building a hand plane that’s truly your own.
