SHARPENING Hand Tools - a one day course that will provide you with all the information you need to sharpen hand tools to a high standard.

We will concentrate on tools that are commonly used in greenwoodworking.

Having sharp tools won't necessarily improve your green woodworking skills but it will make the work easier, safer, produce a better finish. It will also make the process of using hand tools considerably more satisfying.

Axes, billhooks, drawknives, turning chisels, knives and gouges will all be covered.

Powered and manual techniques will be shown. We'll mainly sharpen with bench stones, but we'll also look machines such as TORMEK and Robert Sorby PROEDGE

We will also cover general care and maintenance including using and storing tools, so they keep their edges for longer.

SHARPENING Hand Tools may be the most important course you ever attend.  

Maximum number of students 7.
