Description:
Novice woodworkers are often frustrated with their progress without realizing they're being held back by less than sharp tools. Even in our basic skills classes, students struggling to sharpen their pencil think they're doing something wrong, when really they just have a dull blade in their utility knife. Join us to learn the basics of how to sharpen your chisels, plane blades, and whittling knives.
