Make a Pair of Hollows and Rounds

Pottstown, PA

With the blessing of Larry Williams and permission of Lie-Nielsen Toolworks, I will be teaching this final class about making a pair of hollow/round planes. The process that Larry illustrates in his dvd will be heavily relied upon, but not used exclusively. As a result, much of the material in the class is copywritten and used with permission.

I am increasingly anxious for this week. Due to the small size of the class, 6 total (which is always the case at The Acanthus Workshop), the process may go quicker than has been indicated. In short, I don't know if it is a 5 day class or only a 2.5 day class.

I will be bringing extra material for any students that finish early to make a rabbet plane or fill in the gaps with my usual instruction with your new planes.

The class my be shorter in the future, but it will not likely be more available. A class of 6 people appears to be the perfect setting for this class.

I hope to see a few of you at one of the benches in these classes or at my bench at one of the shows. Check your schedules.

    1. If I went to Texas I wouldn't be able to come back to CT. No Texas.

    2. Why's that? I was hoping you'd host a texas sized moulding plane class down here. Seems only appropriate a triple sized plane would be ideal down here. =)
