Finck is a former student of James Krenov so his plane making is both intelligent and artful. Everything a wood worker might
want to know about making, tuning and using the planes is presented in a clear and coherent manner. Along the way, Finck
also reveals in such a thorough manner the tools and techniques needed to make planes that the book becomes a very useful
general reference. One of the most useful tool books that I presently own. --Don Hood
