Honed & Ready

A sharp edge is the foundation of clean, accurate, and enjoyable woodworking — and in Honed & Ready, you’ll learn exactly how to achieve it. This hands-on workshop is designed to give you the knowledge, technique, and confidence to sharpen your own tools to a razor edge — whether you're using chisels, hand planes, carving tools, or beyond.

Perfect for beginners and experienced woodworkers alike, this class covers a wide range of sharpening systems and approaches, helping you find a method that suits your tools, your workflow, and your budget.

You’ll learn:

• The What, Why, and When of Sharpening – when to hone, when to grind, and how to tell

• Sharpening Systems Explained – stones, strops, grinders, jigs, and power-assisted options

• Edge Geometry Demystified – bevels, micro-bevels, camber, and how they affect performance

• Practical Hands-On Sharpening – real-time practice on your own or supplied tools

• Troubleshooting Techniques – fixing chipped edges, rounding over, and avoiding common pitfalls

By the end of the day, you’ll leave with sharper tools, a clearer understanding of sharpening theory, and — most importantly — the ability to maintain your edges long after the class ends.

Because a sharp tool isn’t just more effective — it’s safer, more satisfying, and key to great results.
