Kate Stott reviewed: Sharpening woodworking tools

"Philip is a knowledgeable and supportive teacher, I came away from these two days confident about how to sharpen a wide selection of cutting tools. During the course we had enough time to tune and sharpen one or two chisels, a bench plane and a couple of cabinet scrapers. The workshop is spacious with plenty of room for students and tools and we had access to a number of grinding machines - really helpful in making my own mind up about my next kit purchase. Be prepared to get stuck in; this is not show-and-tell it's definitely hands-on and, depending on how out of shape your tools are, a good upper body workout. I certainly appreciated the ready supply of cups of tea - a chance to relax and get to know my fellow students and Philip a bit better. Highly recommended."
