    Default TTTG Workshop - Sharpening

    Sharpening Edge Tools Workshop
    The Traditional Tools Group
    Sunday, 15 February 2009
    When: 9.30am to 3.30pm

    Where: Asquith Boys High School, Jersey Road, Asquith.

    Find out what sharp means and how to do it with chisels, plane blades, all woodworking edge tools, dry grinding, honing, water stones, ceramics and oil stones.

    That blunt tool will end the day so sharp the wood will run away in terror!

    Sharpening blades, chisels etc is a continuing issue for beginning tool users and seasoned tradesmen alike. The workshop is designed to provide you with guidance on sharpening techniques, and the opportunity to go "hands-on" for a wide range of tools and sharpening approaches.

    Sharpening expert Jim Davey leads this workshop.

    Cost: $20 for financial TTTG members or $40 for non members.

    Well a great workshop, with 20 participants despite the weather. Jim Davey is back to his old self, and did a great job explaining how it all works and working with people on specific tools. Bob Crosby was in the thick of it also, helping a number of people get their tools singing. People bought along some interesting tools, including the latest Veritas Skew Rebate Planes, a considerable step up on the Stanley #78.

    The March Workshop is on Plane Refurbishment and will be a cracker. We look forward to people brng in their "hard cases". Look forward to seeing keen woodworkers there.

    Cheers
    Peter
