West Dean Hand Tool Event June 2008

Here are some pictures taken at the Classic Hand Tools event at West Dean College, West Sussex. I was fortunate to be able to demonstrate my planes at this event which featured some woodworking superstars from around the world - Brian Boggs, David Charlesworth, Garrett Hack, Michel Auriou to name a few..... :)
