Class - 201 Introduction to Hand Tool Sharpening (Fall - November)
November 6, 2022 November 13, 2022
SERIES OF CLASSES

Students will learn the principles of sharpening and maintaining chisels, plane blades, and cabinet card scrapers without jigs, and they will engage in a lot of supported practice doing so.  Students will learn how to sharpen tools quickly, consistently, and efficiently so they can focus on the woodwork, not tool maintenance.

Note: Students should purchase and bring an unused chisel, minimum 3/4" wide; a card scraper, preferably a 0.8mm thick BAHCO; and a plane that is complete and in good condition.   The instructor would be happy to guide students if they wish to purchase new tools.  If a student does not own a plane, we will provide one if given advance notice.
