Sharpening workshop JULY 11
- Thread starter Mike Davis
- Start date
- Status
Based on the latest head count, it looks like we have 8 participants. That means we have room for a couple more if anyone is interested.
Mike, I utilized what you taught me yesterday and put some scarry sharp edges on knifes and such... I also got several of my sons interested and showed them what you taught me.
To anyone on the fence about attending one of Mike's sharpening workshops - just do it... You will gain a valuable skill that you will use for the rest of your life I can promise you that.

Re: Sharpening workshop?
Please remove my name from the list. I won't be able to make the workshop due to a scheduling conflict.
Thanks!

Re: Sharpening workshop?
It looks like the NCWW BOD meeting may be held on the 11th. It isn't finalized yet, so I don't know the details. I may not be able to attend or I may have to leave early. I will let you know as soon as I know the details. I am hoping I can still make the 1st half of the sharpening workshop.

Added to list Ed.
Glad to have you Ed. I'll be sending out directions and other info later this week.
Incidentally, we still have room for a couple more if anyone else would like to join in.
Mike... Bill... thanks for including me... looking forward to it... will bring my lathe tools and the infamous card scraper !!! I have watched every video on YouTube but still not hitting the sweet spot. I hope you get a good night's rest so you have the patience to knock some learning into this impenetrable mass I carry atop my shoulders!!

Big THANK YOU to Mike for his incredible patience and instruction. I used to think "real men" were born with certain innate skills like painting, chain-sawing, hammering, and sharpening. But it wasn't until I became an "old" man I realized it weren't so. It's also true that the more you learn the more you realize you need to learn. I'm working on it. And thanks to Mike my card scraper is making shavings now instead of dust.
Another big THANK YOU to Bill for hosting this class in his amazing shop. To compare my shop to Bill's just visualize a 14 ft boston whaler motoring past the USS Enterprise !! The only thing my shop has in common is the lack of windows.
Super people, both of them. Talented, gracious, and generous. One with hair, the other without! Great ambassadors for NCWW. Thanks again for helping me appreciate the difference between sharp enough and really sharp.

Mike Davis is the man - he taught me much and I'm thankful to him beyond words

I ordered some DMT stones yesterday. Big thanks to Mike and Bill.
Let me add my thanks; it was a great day from start to finish! Great venue and we couldn't ask for better teachers. I ended up with 2 sets of sharp chisels, 3 sharp plane irons and 2 very sharp kitchen knives. Mike really scored big complements from Sandra on the knives! The plane iron from the LN #4-1/2 bit me pretty good yesterday while putting the plane back together... shows you the difference in the before and after right away. :gar-BiNow, I've got to stick with it (sharpening) on a regular basis! Thanks Mike and Bill... your relaxed teaching styles are perfect. So nice of you to share your time and resources with yet another bunch from NC Woodworkers.net

Bill & Mike outdid themselves Sat. just handling all the tools I brought to the sharpening workshop. They sharpened a draw knife, a 2" timber frame chisel, a 1 1/8' in chanel gouge, 2 router plane blades, a shoulder plane blade, took the corners off two other plane blades and put a 1:8 radius on a jackplane blade to make it into a scrub plane. And I ate pizza. Thanks guys!
Finally got a few pics from the workshop loaded. Sorry if I didn't get everyone's pic that was there. But you know you were there. Right? :wwink:
