Students will be introduced to the basics of woodshop tool sharpening.

Woodshop Public Classes

This class will introduce the basics of woodshop sharpening. The instructor will discuss methods and techniques and introduce students to both hand and power sharpening. Students will practice by bringing one of the Spark woodshop's dull chisels back to a razor-sharp cutting edge using both traditional hand stones and the powered wet grinder. Spark Members will be certified to use the wet grinder during the class. This class will focus on sharpening practices specific to woodworking tools such as chisels and plane irons. While many of the skills learned are also applicable to sharpening knives, the specific techniques of knife sharpening will not be covered by the instructor. Students may supply their own chisels, but corroded or damaged chisels may require methods outside the scope of the planned demonstrationAges 18+ Thanks to the generous support of the Frank Loomis Palmer Fund, Bank of America, N.A., Trustee, the price of our certification classes has been greatly subsidized.
