Description

Get introduced to the basics of woodshop tool sharpening. The instructor will discuss the available methods and techniques, and introduce the sandpaper-on-glass method available in the Spark woodshop. Students will practice by bringing one of the Spark woodshop's dull chisels back to a razor sharp cutting edge. 

Students may supply their own chisels, but corroded or damaged chisels may require methods outside the scope of the planned demonstration. 

This class will focus on sharpening practices specific to woodworking tools such as chisels and plane irons. While many of the skills learned are also applicable to sharpening knives, the specific techniques of knife sharpening will not be covered by the instructor. 

Ages 18+
