hand plane

As a family, we have decided to become the newest reproduction plane making and replacement parts company. A plane should come to hand and feel as if it belongs there. We strive to make our planes as comfortable as possible, following the old tried and true methods of plane making.

In 1987 Bill left full time employment to concentrate on plane making at home. We estimate he has made about 1000 planes. He is now 69 years old and is still making a few planes in the summer months. Bill is self taught and never had any metal work tuition, it's all been learnt by trial and error. His speciality is copying rare mitre planes and making miniature mitre planes out of the brass backs of old tenon saw's.
