Hand planes

Now these are fun things to make and surf. What to do with all those small scraps of wood and hone your shaping skill at the same time. A great project for the kids on holiday or while you are building something else as well.

Tha global hand plane tour hits Australia

Gary Murphy in California , well known for his Brownfish boards has spent the last 12 months just building and shaping handplanes. He makes a range of designs and they are beautifully finished.
Jason Hall a photographer with the support of Go Pro cameras has sent one of Garys' hand planes off around the world for a tour of surf spots globally. Well it is in Sydney now and then will be on it's way to the Gold Coast for The Alley Fish Fry which I also organise ,the first weekend in March.I am sure it will be wet most of the day as many people try it out and we capture a little film of the days activities in and out of the water.

This is Joe Larkin glueing up the blank for an 8ft 1931 Waikiki chambered Balsa board. I am not sure what age Joe is these days but he has been doing it for ever and still going strong.He has built many a classic board . His craftsmanship is second to none.Will have some more shots as it comes together.
