Advanced Hand Plane Skills with Jim Davey
Sunday, 25 November 2012
When: 9.30am to 3.30pm

Where: Strathfield Men’s Shed, 26 Pomeroy Street, Strathfield NSW

Learn how to use hand planes to achieve precision and quality finish and experience what a
correctly fettled plane can do.

Bring your metal and wood planes and timber.
A good idea is to bring both planes you have tuned for an expert assessment of
how you are going, as well as planes you have yet to attack. New planes need tuning as well, so
bring those, especially those that don't seem to work "out of the box".

Jim Davey and Bob Crosbie will introduce you to the arsenal of special purpose planes and user made
planning jigs. Included will be:
Bench and special purpose planes plus planing jigs and devices
The Bailey type Planes, Infill planes, Wooden Planes, Scraper planes
Combination planes, Ploughs and Fillisters
The Trenching plane, Moulding planes, Spokeshaves and more!
Planing Boards, Shooting Boards


The workshop will include repairs, sole flattening, sharpening and set up.
Materials, spare parts and fettled planes will be for sale during the workshop.

Cost: $20 for financial TTTG members or $40 for non members.

Enrol early to avoid disappointment.
