Class Description

Master the techniques for sharpening and effectively using card scrapers and cabinet scrapers.


Despite their immense utility in woodworking, these tools are immensely underutilized as they appear daunting to sharpen and maintain due to their simplicity and the precision required to create the perfect edge. This course aims to demystify the process by teaching straightforward, practical techniques that allow woodworkers to quickly and easily sharpen and re-sharpen these tools, enhancing their overall woodworking skills and project outcomes. This class is designed for woodworkers at any skill level. Class sizes are kept small to ensure hands-on learning and individualized instruction, allowing each woodworker to fully master scraper techniques.



Material Fee

The materials fee for this class is $15. This is separate from the ticket price and is to reimburse the instructor for any tools or materials used in this class. This will be paid directly to the instructor at the start of the first class meeting. This instructor accepts payments in cash or through Venmo.
