DMWA Meeting - Buying, Selling, and Restoring Hand Planes with Greg Livingston
For those approaching hand tools for the first time, planes can be finicky and frustrating. There’s no reason they should be. Club member Greg Livingston strips away the mystery with “plane” talk and will help you find hand planes at bargain prices and then restore and fine-tune them to make them a joy to use.
at the Fred Maytag II Scout Center, 6123 Scout Trail, Des Moines 50321.
