In Traditional Wooden Handplanes, Scott shows you how to make, modify, restore and use antique planes. He reveals how traditional wood planes work, how to set up a flea market find and how to tune up a new plane for peak performance.

You'll learn about the different types and how to use them to their best advantage; which blade angles are best, which blade steel you might want to use, and finally, how to make your own set of planes using some modern techniques that simplify construction and improve performance.
