Usage & Maintenance

Carpentry / cabinetmaking: improve settings, understanding of plane families and choosing the tool according to the operation.

Restoration / lutherie: context and practice of the hand plane, still central in these fields.

Collection / identification: information on manufacturers, typologies, and restoration of antique tools.

Additional information

Hand planes have been used in woodworking for millennia, but are rarely documented comprehensively. This book—now a standard reference—gathers and organizes information on hand planes, whether made of wood or metal.
This revised and expanded edition explores successively: history (with a focus on French and foreign manufacturers), technique (adjustments, fine-tuning, use), typology (diversity of forms) and finally collection & restoration.

Expertise

Gaignard Millon

Expertise forged through workshop experience: we compare, measure, and test each item on various types of wood. Selection guided by cut, ergonomics, and durability. A standard confirmed by professionals: École Boulle, the Louvre Museum, the Musée d'Orsay. As enthusiasts, we select only the best tools.

Workshop check & sharpening ready to use

Every tool passes through our hands before shipping: visual inspection, geometry, flatness, and deburring. If necessary, we sharpen it on a Tormek system for a consistent angle, and a clean, durable edge. The result: a tool that cuts cleanly right out of the box, with no time wasted at the workbench. Tested on wood, wiped down, protected, you receive a tool ready to work.

1% for the Children of the Woods

Gaignard-Millon donates 1% of the VAT-inclusive price of each order to associations that introduce children to woodworking and support reintegration through manual trades (e.g., L’Outil en Main, apprenticeship workshops). Each purchase becomes an act of transmission. A simple gesture to pass on expertise and nurture the next generation of artisans.
