## Description

Learn a Better WayMore than 70 minutes of step-by-step instructionGet the planes you really needDetailed sharpening instructionTune each plane to performFlatten rough stockPlane perfect edgesWhile bench planes are the most fundamental handplanes in your shop, they are also the most vexing. After years of historical research and practical bench experience, Editor Christopher Schwarz has found a way to simplify the bench plane system so you can think for yourself when it comes to how to choose, set up and use these tools.After viewing this DVD you'll know how to select the right size plane for your work. You'll know how to sharpen and set it up so it does the job at hand. And you'll learn how to use the plane so you make perfectly flat and gleaming panels (with the minimum amount of effort).This DVD doesn't teach a new idiosyncratic way to work with bench planes. Instead Schwarz explains how all the systems work so you can immediately see their strengths and weaknesses and exploit them so you'll do better work.

    Excellent tutorial on handplane use
  

*by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2012*

I like Chris Schwarz.  I think he has done a lot for hand tool woodworking, and I enjoy my woodworking more now then when I was using all power tools.  This is a great DVD for the beginner hand tool user.  Mr. Schwarz cuts through all the zen mysticism of hand planes that's out there.  He says here are three types of planes, use each type to do this and here's how you do it.  Simple, effective, great instruction.  Good explanation of why you should do what he's suggesting as well.  If you only use hand planes a little, but would like to use them more often yet are afraid of them due lack of knowledge get this DVD or any DVD Mr. Schwarz puts out. A hand plane really can be faster than power tools if you keep it tuned and setup.  I didn't believe this until I started using them, and didn't have adjust fences, router bit heights and so on.  But you need to get good hand tools.  Most of the stanley stuff you see on ebay just can't compete with Lee Valley Veritas or Lie-Neilsen hand tools. Sorry, I have done stanley ebay purchase and tuned them up, but there just not as well made as the modern day makers make.

    Extremely informative. Loved it.

Wow...What an education. Chris Schwarz is a wonderful teacher. He articulates very clearly so that even a beginner can understand. No matter what level of skill you're at you will get something out of this video. It cleared up a lot of fuzzy areas that I had as a result of listening to too many people. Chris know his stuff. I highly recommend the video for anyone.
