A favorite is back! Bring your garden tools to the Mill and get them ready for action! Jason will instruct you how to manually sharpen your tools using sharpening stones. You will learn how to take your tool apart to access the blade, and then put your tool back together after sharpening the blade. For those interested in learning how to use a grinding wheel for sharpening, this approach will also be available. No experience necessary.
