Description
The sharper the tool, the safer the work! On this one-day course, you'll learn how to keep your basic green woodworking tools sharp – and safe. In order to get the most from our tools – and therefore the experience of green woodworking – sharp tools are essential. Yet, for many, sharpening is a complex mystery that is all too often avoided. Use this opportunity to learn good habits, understand your metal, and know what equipment and methods to get the best results, and you'll get more from your tools.
