Fundamental Sharpening Skills
Sherwood

As part of the Next Level series, knowing how to sharpen your cutting tools is a gateway skill, a “must have” for every woodworker who aspires to do fine work. Working with sharp tools is a revelation: once you experience the effectiveness of a sharp hand plane or chisel you will never look back.
In this day-long, hands-on workshop you’ll learn the theory behind creating a keen edge on your chisels, plane irons and scrapers. Moving beyond theory, you’ll put each of the sharpening steps into practice as At the end of the day, you’ll go home with at least one tool that’s ready to work for you. More importantly, you’ll have the skill necessary to get all of your edges into top condition and keep them there. $50 for Guild members. Location is Sherwood High School. THIS CLASS IS SOLD OUT> ANOTHER WILL BE SCHEDULED SHORTLY> Contact Chip Webster, 503-780-8812, jdwebster3@comcast.net for more information.
