Class Description

Getting the edges of your hand tools as sharp as a razor will make your woodworking endeavors go much easier. With sharp tools in hand, your woodworking tasks will simply be more successful and enjoyable. In this class, you'll discover ways to get your edges keen in a consistent and predictable manner.

You'll learn Jim's eclectic, flexible approach to sharpening, which includes both powered and manual sharpening on a variety of media like water stones and sandpaper. You'll also try out honing jigs as well as freehand sharpening.

Feel free to bring one dull chisel or plane iron you'd like to revive. You'll be amazed at the results.
