It seems to me that my waning enthusiasm for woodworking (which began when it became impossible to work in my garage because of the heat) is exacerbated by my inability to use chisels for touch up and clean up. My inability to use chisels is directly related to my inability to sharpen them. Trying to use a dull chisel is a bad experience, particularly for a beginner. I've been contemplating buying a Tormek to get me across a major hump, but I just don't understand what I'm missing with learning to sharpen. I've taken two classes, but the guidance didn't stick with me.
I think I need one-on-one training. I'm willing to pay for it. Is there anyone within the Triangle who is willing to give me a few lessons? YouTube videos don't help. I'm obviously doing something wrong that I can't see. Being observed by a trained person could be a great help. Please let me know if you're interested.
