Wood Plane Handle Build
In my intro video to the Krenov-style wood plane build, a viewer asked in the comments for instruction on how to build the handle on my small jointer plane. Here is that post and video.
As I describe in the video, the handle is more comfortable than just holding onto a typically shaped plane body. While you could carve the handle into a larger plane body, that would require a much bigger blank and a far bigger commitment – once it’s carved you’re stuck with it. This handle is easy to remake and replace if needed.
Below is an image of the handle profile. It should be to scale if you download and print it actual size or as a 5″ x 7″ image.
Here’s the link to the video. Enjoy!
