What you'll do

A sharp tool is a dangerous tool; a blunt tool is a more dangerous tool & there is no more essential skill as a craftsperson than the ability to sharpen your tools. However, achieving a consistent edge is often given little attention.

Yet, there is no great mystery in achieving a razor-sharp edge. With just some theory and practice, you can learn a systematic approach that can gain a consistent razor-sharp edge that you can replicate the same system in your workshop.

This is your opportunity to bring in your own chisels, bench planes, block planes, drawknives, scorps, sloyds, and marking knives and discover the joy that can only come from working with sharp tools.

Classes include all tools, materials, patterns, expert tuition and all-day tea & coffee. For your convenience, classes are held at various venues across Gippsland. Private tuition can be undertaken at your chosen location from the comfort of your home or at our workshop.

Knowledge required

This workshop is part of our Fundamentals series, which serves as an introduction for those with no previous experience. While still providing fresh challenges for those more seasoned woodworkers wishing to expand their capabilities.

What to bring

Clothing and footwear should be suitable for a workshop environment (but not heavy industrial), providing protection against wood chips, dropped objects, spills or splashes of varnishes and glues, while hair should be restrained or covered to avoid entanglement with machinery.

In addition, participants should bring a light lunch, a drink bottle and a sun hat on the day.

Session repeats

This class series runs over 2 consecutive days.

Location

Manna Gum Community House, 33 Station Road, Foster VIC
