Woodworking Tool Sharpening
This morning workshop will cover sharpening of woodwork chisels, gouges,
plane irons and turning chisels in order to get the best results from
your tools.
The aim is to reduce, as much as possible, the ‘skill’ element of sharpening, which can be intermittent, with simple hacks to
sharpen woodworking tools reliably.
Bring along your own woodworking tools to sharpen if you have them,
although there will be tools available on the day for demonstration.
