We had a great workshop Saturday.
Someone said it must be discouraging when 14 people sign up for a class and only 4 are actually there.
But honestly, I would do it for one person. I have never cancelled a class because there were not enough people.
And that one guy, the one that is new to hand tools, new to planes, new to sharpening and totally got it. Left grinning, left understanding what to do and how to do it, left with super sharp tools and the skills to keep his tools sharp, that guy...
He said he has watched utube over and over but some things you just can’t get from a video. You can’t feel the wire edge, you can’t get immediate feed back and change hand position, you can’t try different jigs and see the difference they make, you can’t feel the difference wax on the plane sole makes, you can’t try concave/flat/convex edges all on the same blade within a few minutes and realize they are all the same from the woods point of view.
Yep, a great workshop.
