About
This book teaches the fundamentals of sharpening for woodworking, and it includes instruction on using both the old and the newest sharpening mediums. To get the most from your tools, you must learn to sharpen and this means understanding what sharp means, how to make your tools sharp and how to develop a sharpening workflow that functions for the specific situation. Having a sharpening workflow that is fast, repeatable, and reliable will ensure that when a tool needs to be sharpened, it will be easy to do so and there will not be a tendency to delay. Anyone reading this book, will recognize the value of sharp tools and will be looking for ways to improve their sharpening skills, perhaps as a beginner looking to develop a sharpening workflow for the first time, or perhaps an experienced craftsperson looking to improve or bring more consistency to their sharpening regime.
