While bench planes are the most fundamental handplanes in your shop, they also are the most vexing. Ask two woodworkers how to choose, set up and use your bench planes and you'll get three answers. After years of historical research and practical bench experience, Editor Christopher Schwarz has found a way to simplify the convoluted bench plane system so you can think for yourself when it comes to these tools. After viewing this DVD you'll know how to select the right size plane for your work. You'll know how to sharpen and set it up so it does the job at hand. And you'll learn how to use the plane so you make perfectly flat and gleaming panels (with the minimum amount of effort). This DVD doesn't simply spout off a new idiosyncratic way to work with bench planes. Instead Schwarz explains how all the systems work so you can immediately see their strengths and weaknesses and exploit them so you'll do better work. "Handplane Basics" puts into practice all of the principles explained in the story "Bench Planes: The System of Three" in this issue of Woodworking Magazine and dives further into the topics of sharpening, setup and use. If you are confused or frustrated by your bench planes, this DVD is just the ticket.

In this video workshop I?m going to show you how to build a basic bookcase and finish it with interesting, attractive details. You make the case from hardwood-veneer plywood, assembling it with screws and simple dado-and-rabbet joints. At the base, you have a choice: You can make a flat-bracket base that you cut on the tablesaw and bandsaw, or if you want the same kind of base used on period furniture, you can make an ogee bracket foot. To make this base, you cut a cove in thick stock on the tablesaw; I?ll show you how to do that. Then you shape the rest of the curved foot with planes and scrapers. Finally, you cut a decorative scroll pattern on the bandsaw. I?ll show you how that?s done; the downloadable plan includes full-size patterns for both feet. This video workshop refines bookcase designs from an article I wrote for Fine Woodworking #133; the photos above are from that article. winning woodworker and teacher Philip C. Lowe in this video workshop, building a bookcase with adjustable shelves. You'll get two options for the base. The basic case has a flat-bracket base, with simple curves cut on the bandsaw. Or, you can substitute an ogee bracket foot. Highlights include: More than 1 hour of video instruction. Useful techniques that simplify how you edge the plywood, handle large sheets of plywood, and shape moldings. Download the woodworking plan and talk to the author in the Ask the Experts forum.
