Please note: The time for this class has changed. It will be from 3-5 pm on Wednesday, July 26 -- not the original date of July 27.

Learn to give hand woodworking tools such as plane blades and chisels a razor-sharp edge.

This class will cover three sharpening systems available in the BARN woodshop:

• Tormek water-cooled wheels
  
• WorkSharp 
  
• Water stones

Details: 

• BARN tools will be used to demonstrate and practice sharpening methods, so no need to bring anything.
  
• Time permitting, participants who bring their planes and chisels will have the opportunity to sharpen them under the supervision of the instructor. 
• The sharpening systems are also available for use during open studio times. These are free for members and $10 for non-members.
  

Instructor: Dick Culp. A hand tool devotee, he has taken many classes at the Port Townsend School of Woodworking and been involved with BARN's woodworking group since the beginning.
