Please post here only if you intend to take the workshop.
Date is April 4 Saturday, 10:00 to 4:00.
place is Bill Clemmons shop in Liberty, NC
Directions will be sent to participants the week of the workshop.
Donation to NCWW is requested. Use the donate button at the top of every page.
If your monitor is small you may see an arrow like > at the right side of the menu.
Use that to move over to the donate/pay menu, then use the second entry ‘Other Payments’
$30 is the usual donation.
So, what to expect and what to bring.
This is not a lecture, participation is expected. Learning to sharpen involves muscle memory and you must use your muscles to develop memory.
Bring hand planes, chisels, knives, scrapers (if you have never seen a cabinet scraper make fine curls of wood then you really need to be there!), axe, garden clippers, scissors, basically anything with an edge that should be sharp.
If we have time we may sharpen a small dovetail saw. But that really is a whole day of class by itself.
Hand planes must be partly disassembled in order to sharpen. Some hand plane problems may be addressed if sharpening won’t make it cut. If you have a specific question I will try to answer. But, this is not a hand plane workshop. That is a full day in itself. We will not be refurbishing hand planes from rusty junk to super tuned users In this workshop.
See the interest thread to see who may be there.

Is there any interest in a sharpening workshop?
sign up thread started; Sign up for April 4 Sharpening Workshop I see a lot of new faces and some sharpening and hand plane questions. If we have 3-10 folks who are wanting to learn and willing to work we could have a sharpening workshop. If only a few then maybe at my home shop, if up to 10...
