Sharpening for green woodworking tools

Details

The sharper the tool, the safer the work! On this one-day course, you'll learn how to keep your basic green woodworking tools sharp – and safe. In order to get the most from our tools – and therefore the experience of green woodworking – sharp tools are essential. Yet, for many, sharpening is a complex mystery that is all too often avoided. Use this opportunity to learn good habits, understand your metal, and know what equipment and methods to get the best results, and you'll get more from your tools.

Bring your own tools to sharpen!

Instructions

You'll arrive on site by 10am, and be directed to workshop. From there, one of our experienced trainers will lead you through the workshop. Bring your own tools to sharpen! The day finishes by 4pm. Please bring food and drink for the day - you are welcome to cook over our campfire. We provide tea and coffee.

Follow the A811 into Arnprior. Take the turning onto the B8034 towards Port of Menteith. Follow the road until you reach the sign for Dykehead - and turn left here (signposted to Cardross holiday cottages and Green Aspirations). Our site is up on the right hand side, a few hundred yards past the Cardross holiday homes. What3Words reference: ///stray.relishes.camps.
