Our next educational seminar will be held at The Wood Joint School in Tinton Falls, NJ on Saturday, May 18, from 9-12AM. The address of the school is 3300 Shafto Road, Unit C, Tinton Falls, NJ. We welcome all members to participate; from new in hand plane use to experienced, all can learn something. Bring your handplane(s) with you, specifically a bench or smoother plane, (and any sharpening stones that you may have), and if you don’t own a hand plane, we can supply something for you to try. If you have a small piece of wood 1-2 feet long, that you would like to practice on, bring it. I will bring some different woods from my stash for all to try out. We will learn sharpening and tune up of the hand plane, proper use of this important tool, and finally we will hand plane two or more surfaces flat and square. Our lead intructor will be Brian Holcombe. Also we are skiing for a $20 donation for the use of the building. For planing and space puposes, please notify Bob Emmons (bob-emmons@comcast.net) your intentions on attending as soon as possible.
Here are some photos of the hand plane seminar. It was a great sucess. We had a full house and learned a great deal from our instructor Brian Holman.
