Learn how to get the best performance from planes.
Bring your own planes and timber. A good idea is to bring both planes you have tuned for an expert assessment of how you are going, as well as planes you have yet to attack. New planes need tuning as well, so bring those, especially those that don't seem to work "out of the box".
The workshop will include repairs, sole flattening, sharpening and set up. Materials, spare parts and planes will be for sale during the workshop.
