Sharpening Scissors, Knives, and Chisels

With: Jason Breen

Class Fee: $40

Using grinding wheels and and hand sharpening stones, we move on from garden tools in the first tool sharpening class, to learn how to safely sharpen scissors, knives, or chisels. Bring some dull scissors to class and return home with sharp ones!
