Hand Tool Sharpening 101
with Mark RheinlanderThursday, May 16, 6 PM - 9 PM
It is said the most valuable skill a good woodworker can learn is sharpening. Sharp tools make woodworking more enjoyable using hand tools with less effort, cleaner cuts, better tool control and greater safety. This lecture and demonstration class includes hands-on practices to help you learn and understand this valuable skill. Methods covered are wet & dry grinding machines (such as Tormek), and sharpening by hand with diamond plates, oil & water stones, and honing. Emphasis is on hand plane blades and chisels though techniques for other hand tools will be presented. Feel free to bring your own plane blade or chisel and stones to learn with.
