We currently have two wooden planes that can be used to finish certain structures in woodworking projects. Have a look at this great video class (about 20 minutes in) to learn how to tune and sharpen them or this video explaining different styles of hand planes!
Smoothing Plane
| ToolInfoBox Smoothing Plane | |
|---|---|
| |
| Synonyms: | reform smoothing plane; DE: Putzhobel, Reform-Putzhobel |
| Type: | hand tool |
| Material: | wood |
| Location: | wood workshop |
| Access Requirements: | upon introduction |
| Tutors: | Lukas |
To retract the blade, loosen the set screw a tiny bit, hold the plane in one hand and hit the metal button at the thick end with a hammer.
Scrub Plane
Schrupphobel
Schlichthobel
Jointer Plane
| ToolInfoBox Jointer Plane | |
|---|---|
| |
| Synonyms: | DE: Raubank |
| Type: | hand tool |
| Material: | wood |
| Location: | wood workshop |
| Access Requirements: | upon introduction |
| Tutors: | Lukas |
| Similar (More or Less): | jointer |
Until we get a jointer, it's possible to joint edges by hand (with a little practice)!
Router Plane
| ToolInfoBox Router Plane | |
|---|---|
| |
| Synonyms: | hand router; DE: Nuthobel, Grundhobel |
| Type: | hand tool |
| Material: | wood |
| Location: | wood workshop |
| Access Requirements: | upon reading |
| Similar (More or Less): | router |
Used for smoothing grooves and recesses - for large or repetitive jobs, you'd rather use a power router nowadays.
Our router plane has not been commissioned yet and very likely needs some sharpening!
Surform Plane
| ToolInfoBox Surform Plane | |
|---|---|
| |
| Synonyms: | DE: Surform-Hobel |
| Type: | hand tool |
| Material: | wood |
| Location: | wood workshop |
| Access Requirements: | upon reading |
| Similar (More or Less): | rasps |
Short for "surface forming" plane, a surform plane closely resembles a rasp. Use it for fairly quick and aggressive material removal, but don't expect a silky finish!
