Discover the pleasure of constructing and tuning you own classic Krenov style plane. An underpinning aspect of James Krenov's philosophy was the use of these superb tools made by hand to suit the user. During the year that John Shaw studied with Krenov he became passionate about them and loves to teach others how to make them.
