Stavros GakosAlmost every year since I launched this newsletter, I’ve put together an annual showcase of planemakers (2002, 2003. I love the creativity and passion, the master craftsman’s finesse and the beginner’s curiosity, that’s evident in these tools. Unfortunately, Instagram has made it increasingly difficult to find people making one-off planemaking projects. I hope this isn’t the last year in the series. If you make a plane this year, drop me an email. I’d love to see your work.

The story about convict laborers at an Ohio penitentiary earning wages for their plane making was originally published in this newsletter. It has since been moved to its own post: The Ohio Tool Co. (Briefly) Paid Its Convict Workers
