A vital class for all budding woodworkers. Sharpening tools properly is an essential skill. Highly recommended.

Luke was an excellent, experienced and knowledgeable teacher. Helped everyone and was concerned we were all managing the tasks we were given. Showed us the whole process of chisel sharpening- loved the grinder - although my technique needs work. Could not recommend the workshop more highly. Booking was + more

The hand tool sharpening workshop provided me with an understanding of metal tools, and of different sanding tools and techniques. The teacher, Luke, was very patient with beginners and provided lots of individual supervision and direction. Great to end the workshop with new skills and a very sharp chisel to take home.

Luke is very knowledgeable and his passion for the craft came through.

Luke ran another outstanding course. We learned how to sharpen chisels to be razor sharp and ready to work. Luke is a highly skilled practitioner and a highly skilled teacher. He ran the course with exactly the right pace and combination of group and individual teaching. I'll be signing up for more + more

I've come away with new skills and confidence around sharpening tool. Luke is really knowledgable, calm and clear teacher. Good mix of theory and hands on learning. Also was fun, with a welcoming group of people and a comfortable inclusive space.

Great course for beginners or long time tinkerers. I have all the stones in my toolbox and hours of practice but I have always been disappointed with my self taught (aka YouTube) results. Today I walked out with a few ah-ha moments and sharp tools. Very comfortable environment, a generous and experienced + more

For someone with a basic knowledge of hand tools who knows the importance of sharpening but lacks the know how - this is an excellent course! There was good information pre-course about what to expect, a friendly welcome and a workbench set up with all the equipment ready to go. Luke was an engaging + more

Great instruction from an experienced sharpener and teacher. Well-organised bench set ups allowed great access to tools and equipment for all participants. Very satisfying to come home with some very sharp tools!
