On July 27 I will be offering my workshop on sharpening handsaws. This is a full day workshop on sharpening crosscut and rip saws. We will use traditional tools and gauges to work on 4 1/2 to 10 point saws. I will provide all of the tools and the saws and the comprehensive class manual as well. Bring your own saws if you like. Cost is $80 ($70 for TWA members). Times are 9 am to 5 pm.
In August, I will be teaching two workshops on making traditional bench planes. I have an opening in each of the workshops. Check out the NCWoodworker Calendar for August 2/3 and 9/10. The first workskhop is on making a coffin shaped smoother. The second is on making a toted smoother. There will be a materials fee for each of these workshops to cover the wood and the blades. Both workshops are 2 days. The cost is $160 plus the cost of materials (unless you are a TWA member, then the cost is $10 less). We will use traditional tools including chisels, floats, pad saws, brace and bits and rasps to shape these planes. The blades will be either LN modern or will be 18th century style tapered and scarf-welded, hand forged by a noted blacksmith.
As in all of my classes, I provide lunch for the participants as well.
