The goal of this workshop is to provide some basic usage of common hand tools used in woodworking and sharpening them. The most important thing about hand tools is making sure you have a razor-sharp edge. Once you're able to see what kind of finish a well planed surface can be like, you'll never want to use sandpaper again! > >Feel free to bring your own chisels, planes, sharpening stones, or whatever tools you use in your woodworking. There will be some tools already available within the space for you to use.
