Tool SHarpening
Tuesday, July 14: 6 - 9 PM
Sharp tools are key to fun, success, and safety in woodworking - but sharpening without a clear strategy can take time away from your project, and be frustrating too.
In this evening class, violin-maker Peter Bingen will address the principles of sharpening for various tools - with a focus on simplicity and efficiency. We will pursue razor-sharp results, with a minimal amount of jigs and extraneous steps. Peter will demonstrate the basic products and process that he has relied on for years as a professional luthier.
Feel free to bring tools you want to learn to sharpen.
Tuition: $68 per participant
Materials Fee: $0
Age / Ability Level: 15+, Beginner
