This is a primer on handplanes; a one day crash course on the basics. Learn how a hand plane works - and why it doesn't. Examine the different types of hand planes and learn how to select the right one for the job. Learn to prepare your blades and cutters to razor sharpness. Finally, learn proper and effective planing techniques in order to get the most enjoyment - and the best results with hand planing.

This would be an excellent course to combine with the Basic Sharpening course. A plane only works well when it is sharp, and PFW generally offers the sharpening course just before the Planecraft course.
