Our great friend and instructor, Joseph Thompson is teaching a class on Japanese hand tool making, specifically, the kanna, or hand plane. From Joseph:
In recent years I have really enjoyed getting to understand and work with Japanese hand tools. This June I’m teaching a small one-day class out of my shop on Kanna or Japanese Hand Plane Making. Come spend the day, eat good food and learn how to use your new plane to create a superior finish.

Anyone interested in Japanese tools, especially Kanna (hand planes), would learn a TON from Joseph Thompson Woodworks’s knowledge about this subject. Space is limited, but well worth it. Reach out to Joseph for details.
