Steps to Tight Joinery I: Sharpening

Good woodworking starts with sharp tools. In this Zoom class Andrew will discuss and demonstrate what it takes to get sharp.

Starting with the basics, he will lay out the fundamentals of blade sharpening. Naturally, the focus of the class will be on sharpening Japanese tools with water stones, but western tools and methods will also be touched on.

With so many sharpening stones on the market it can be overwhelming deciding which stones to use. Andrew will discuss what to look for when buying new stones and cover the unique qualities of each type. No, he won’t tell you which stone you should buy, but he will give you all the information you need to make an educated decision yourself.

He will not only share his personal sharpening routine, he will also discuss a variety of options ranging in experience levels – from sharpening guides to natural Japanese stones Andrew will cover all the bases.

Whether you are just starting out or you are a seasoned pro there is always opportunity for improvement, so please join in!
