Design! The Secret Weapon
You want it to work, be well-built, AND look good! You need the complete design
process, so to this end Graham will lead you through the three essential ‘Pillars
of Design’: Function, Construction, and Proportion. ‘Function’
will teach you how to make sure that what you build is right for the job it
has to do: it’s all about purpose, function, and ergonomics. ‘Construction’
will teach you what you need to know about the material — how to choose
the right wood, the appropriate construction technique, and the best joinery
for the purpose. ‘Proportion’ lets you in on the secrets of good
design, so that no matter how good (or bad) your finish, no matter how tight
(or loose) your joints, your finished project will LOOK good and be an object
of beauty, grace, and felicitous design that you can be proud of and pass
down through future generations.

September

Handplanes for Joinery
There is a plane for almost every phase of woodworking, especially joinery.
Whether it’s making the whole joint or adjusting something with great
nicety, an understanding of the following easy-to-find and often inexpensive
specialized handplanes can be great fun and improve your joinery. Graham shows
you how to evaluate, tune up, sharpen and use rabbet planes, fillisters, dado
planes, plough planes and match planes, including many of their relatives
and varieties.
Planing for the Perfect Surface
For the perfect surface you need to be able to plane any piece of wood in
any direction, regardless of grain. This is what planes are designed to do.
Watch as Graham demonstrates the secrets of the cap iron, a jig-free method
of sharpening, and the basic user techniques for guaranteed accuracy in order
to turn virtually any bench plane — wooden, Stanley-type, or high-end
— into the ultimate finishing tool.
