Intro to Tool Sharpening
Learn how to keep your bench chisels, hand planes and other bevel-edge tools razor sharp and ready to perform at their best in this one-day sharpening workshop.
Taught by expert woodworker Cam Velazquez, this hands-on course covers tool setup, grinding, honing, evaluating cutting edges, storage/maintenance best practices.
Eligibility: Open to students ages 18 and up. No prior experience needed.
We'll explore a variety of sharpening methods including classic whetstone, motorized wheels (bench grinder, Tormak), adhesive sandpaper, and more.
Students can bring in one chisel and one hand plane to sharpen, as well as any honing guides and sharpening stones to the class session.
All safety equipment and materials will be provided. If you don't have a chisel or plane of your own to bring in, that's fine! We'll provide some extras to practice on as needed.
