Chris Schwarz, of Popular Woodworking and (the now-defunct) Woodworking Magazine fame, just happens to have a new DVD out that is aimed at beginners; see a preview here.
I have not personally seen this DVD but I have several of Chris's books and read his blog and magazine articles faithfully. IMO he is as a fine a teacher as you are likely to find. Unless you're just not a reader, I would encourage you to read as much of the handplane section of his blog as you can stand, and/or consider purchasing a copy of his excellent new book, Handplane Essentials.Larry -
Cool info. I haven't read Schwarz's bolg much. I really enjoyed his book on workbenches. I'm going to have to get the one on handplanes.ErikComment

Plus one. The reason I like him is that Chris gives you all the details, he doesn't leave you there scratching your head thinking 'is this what he meant'?You don't need a parachute to skydive, you only need a parachute to skydive twice.Comment

Thanks Larry. I'll be doing all three. I have a few woodworking books and they are quite informative but since I'm visual learner I tend to pick up things alot faster with videos. But I have found that the books usually contain alot more information. I'll be ordering the DVD first to get the basics down and then get the book later.
I'm short 5 cents for free shipping Any filler recommendations?I reject your reality and substitute my own.Comment

My DVD came a couple of days ago and finally watched it last night. Very informative for the beginner. I just set my shoulder plane and finally got to see those elusive shavings everyone's been talking about . Thanks for the recommendation Larry. I'll be ordering the book shortly.I reject your reality and substitute my own.Comment
