This course is designed to show you how to sharpen and fine tune your own woodwork tools.
It is relevant for brand new and used tools.
Most tools when purchased new are not fit for use and need the grinding angle to be corrected and other adjustments to be made.
We will focus on flat and carving woodworking chisels, also a range of hand planes and the spokeshave. You are welcome to bring along your own tools on the day to sharpen and tune.
The course will facilitate you using a number of different sharpening methods, which will include the electric waterstone, the oilstone ,the diamond stone and the leather strop. You will also learn how to maintain each of the sharpening tools, so that you can maintain your own tools at home.
