with Rob CosmanThursday, August 20, 2026, 9 AM - 2 PM
The most fundamental tool in a woodshop. Join Rob for an intimate, thorough workshop in free-hand sharpening and hand tool fundamentals. Rob will cover prepping a blade from grinding to honing, setting up your plane, throat adjustment, chip breaker setting, and when and how to resharpen. Students will also get hands on experience planing a wide board flat and smooth, squaring and straightening an edge, and shooting the end-grain to be straight and square. Rob recommends bringing a 5-1/2 or 5 Jack plane to get the most out of this workshop. Space is limited, so register early. Required Tools: Rob has developed a method for sharpening like no other. His techniques are proven to achieve a razor-sharp edge in minutes. Here are the tools Rob makes that you will want to have for the best chance of being successful at sharpening: his 1000/300 grit premium diamond stone, Shapton 16K glass stone, sharpening rule, Honerite lapping fluid, and Cosman wax stick. All these are available for purchase at the Orlando Woodcraft Store.
