What you'll do
Looking for fun things to do in Sydney? Join a woodworking class with Wood Academy in Marrickville and learn a new skill!
In this two-day class, you will learn how to sharpen a range of woodworking tools using a variety of methods.
From learning how to create razor-sharp edges using traditional water stones and slip stones to using a high-speed grinder, honing guides, and using modern slow speed wet grinders (Tormek).
We will cover sharpening bench chisels, plane blades (bench, block, shoulder), card scrapers, router plane, marking knives and turning tools.
Students undertaking this course are highly encouraged to bring in their own tools to be sharpened. At Wood Academy, we will have tools that you can sharpen, but wouldn't it be better if you finished the course with your own tools --- razor sharp and planes that create thin curly shavings!
Please bring these recommended tools:
- A Cast Iron Western Style bench plane #4, #4 1/2, #5 or #5 1/2 (Japanese style planes (Kanna) and Western Wooden planes are fine too)
- A Cast Iron Western Style block plane
- Chisels
- Cabinet Scraper
- Spokeshave
- Marking Knifes
- Kitchen Knifes
- Turning Chisels
If you have any Japanese waterstones or European oil stones, please bring them in and you can dress them during the class.

Your teacher
There’s a certain magic in creating something with your own two hands. The focus it demands, the joy it imparts, the sense of accomplishment when you transform a simple piece of timber into something extraordinary. At Wood Academy, we celebrate the power of craftsmanship, the way it can ignite passion, inspire creativity, and instil a deep sense of satisfaction. It’s why we believe in one simple truth: Wood Work is good work. The more makers in this world, the better.
