Maker of Infill Planes, Project Plane Irons, and Lever Cap Assemblies

I am trying to build this Site Into the Best Hand Plane Resource on the Web... So if hand Planes is your thing you have come to the right place.

Our aim is to make Handplane Central a valuable source of information for all types of handplanes, including wooden planes, infill planes and Stanley type planes. If you want to make a woodworking plane we have a selection of plans for making planes and we're adding new articles almost every day. So if you're into planemaking, aspiring to be a planemaker, a hand plane collector or just want to learn about hand planes in general and how to use them then this is a good place to start

All classes offered by the Workshop are hands on and each technique is carefully demonstrated for the student. The class size is small for close, personal attention. All classes emphasize hand tool skills. Tod Herrli is the instructor and owner and has been teaching and lecturing for several years. He has conducted demonstrations for various chapters of the Mid West Tool Collector’s Association, private clubs, museums, and guilds such as the Western Ohio Woodworkers of Dayton, The Wisconsin Woodworkers of Milwaukee and the Tri-State Woodworkers of New Harmony Indiana. Tod was featured in the Indiana State Museum’s "Tools of the Trade" exhibit in Indianapolis during 1997. This exhibit featured him as modern plane maker reproducing 18th century tools as were on display by the museum.

Dedicated to woodworking Philly style.

Clark & Williams is one of only two contemporary plane makers listed in A Guide to the Makers of American Wooden Planes, the single comprehensive text on American wooden plane makers. They are the only one listed producing traditional planes with traditional construction.
