🔪 Tool Sharpening & Maintenance Workshop – One to One
 
🧰 Why Choose This Class?
A sharp tool isn’t just safer, it completely transforms how woodturning feels.
In this dedicated one-to-one sharpening session, you’ll learn how to grind, shape, and maintain your woodturning tools correctly while getting them razor sharp again.
 
I will show you my sharpening stations and provide tips on their use. You’re welcome to bring your own setup if you’d like, especially if you use a different system such as the Sorby Pro Edge. I don't have experience with that machine but if you are having issues I may be able to help.

We’ll cover regrinding, reshaping, and maintaining your edges properly so you can get consistent, repeatable results at home.
 
This session is ideal if you want to learn how to sharpen confidently, or simply need your tools touched up and corrected while learning the right techniques.
 
We will not be covering any turning. I do go through a bit on sharpening in my regular classes but this class will be about sharpening and shaping exclusively.
