CLICK HERE TO REGISTER *CLASS CANCELED*

Want to learn to sharpen your tools? No experience needed. Our workshop is designed for beginners. In this hands-on workshop, we teach you to sharpen your knives, axes, chisels, and auger bits. The techniques work just as well on mower blades, scissors, shovels, hoes, etc. You will use traditional and modern sharpening methods to hone and polish the edge. All sharpening equipment and materials are provided.

For those interested, we will have sharpening supplies (stones, guides, etc.) available at the workshop for purchase.
