Bill Carter Planemaker

Gerd Fritsche's Traditional Handplanes

Bill Carter Planemaker

UK planemaker, Bill Carter, started making planes for himself in the 1970's, these were always  made out of timber. In 1983 he made his first metal plane after seeing a  set of plans in the Woodworker magazine. In 1987 Bill left full time employment to concentrate on plane making at home. We  estimate he has made about 1000 planes.

Phil Edwards is the craftsman behind Philly Planes,  who are reviving the lost art of wooden plane making in the UK. As a  woodworker with a passion for hand tools, planes in particular, it was  inevitable that he would end up making them himself. From his workshop  in Broadstone, Dorset he makes each individual plane by hand.
