My Handplanes Book

For the past several months, most of my writing energy has gone into the writing (and photographing) of a 90+ page book on handplanes in woodworking.  Titled Choosing and Using Handplanes, it contains well over 90 color photographs and figures that clarify the types of planes available, how to set them up and sharpen them, hold lumber during planing operations and techniques for successful handplaning.  A key feature is a section on diagnosing and fixing common problems encountered in handplaning.

The photo shows the cover I'll be using on this book, which is expected to be released on Amazon in paperback during November and in a Kindle edition soon after that.

I've discussed the process I used to build this cover on my photographic blog, PhotoPlusMore, if you are interested in knowing more about how I did it.

The book will be for sale on Amazon and on my web site.
