Week two of the Artisan Program and that means make your own hand plane! A round bottom plane to be specific… these are examples for students to draw inspiration from as they design and build their custom wooden hand planes. Onwards! #theunpluggedwoodshop #artisanprogram #woodenhandplane #handplane #woodhandplane #custommade #handtools #makeyourown #handtoolsonly #krenovplane #unpluggedwoodworking #madebyhand #torontowoodworking #leslieville #gerrardstreeteast #unplugged (at The Unplugged Woodshop) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcQYpg6uvOQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I first posted a picture of this plane a few years ago. In 2003 I spent a few months working with Craig Stevens, and he let me use a plane Jim Krenov had given him. I loved it. I took notes and made my own copy of it later. Some jackass commented it would have been cooler if I’d just bought one from Krenov, a ‘real’ one, if you will. I don’t know if that guy is still following me or not, can’t remember who it was. It was the only time I took a post down because I was angry and didn’t have a response other than ‘fuck you’. Should have just gone with it. Fuck you, guy. Do you read Krenov? Turns out I’m Ramón. It came to me in a flash earlier this evening. Time to try something else. #krenovplane #woodworking #indianrosewood #seriousamateurismorelikeit #ramón #greensboronc (at Down on the Corner.

Going on in the shop this morning, instead of chair Friday. Trying to get some smaller work knocked out, and do some organizing. #markingmeasuringtools #festooldomino #krenovplane #isotunes #workbenchscenes #smallshop #handmade #woodworking #furniture #craft #greensboronc #dgso #205collaborative (at 205 Collaborative) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUxibBoAz-S/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day one. Built 90% of the plane body and 60% of the mallet for setting the plane blade. Can’t wait for day two! #bubinga #ebony #lucasweismann #homemadetools #krenovplane #woodworking (at William Ng Woodworks)
