Sharpen This (the Video)

Sharpening your tools is simple. And easy. So why do so many woodworkers struggle with it? One huge reason is the enormous amount of misinformation, needless consumerism and piles of unnecessary (and expensive!) equipment. The new video “Sharpen This” takes you back to what is important: Getting a good edge that will leave shimmering wooden surfaces with a minimum amount of fuss, sharpening grits or gear.  Most sharpening information these days comes from people who make sharpening equipment. Or from passionate amateurs who have tried to turn it into a science. Host Christopher Schwarz is a furniture maker who sells his pieces – not a manufacturer of sharpening equipment. His approach creates durable edges (in usually 3 minutes or less) that will create perfect surfaces on your work. The 2-1/2-hour long video explains the entire world of sharpening so you can pick a sharpening system (they all work), sharpen your edges quickly and get back to the good part: woodworking.
