This is a 3 in 1 course well worth getting, Buying tools, Sharpening tools, and Buying Wood, are all covered here.
Description
Three sections are covered here. Tools, (sharpening saws, planes and chisels) and How to use and maintain them, and Selecting wood.
I will show you what to look for when buying tools, whether you buy brand new tools or second-hand tools, there is nothing wrong with second hand tools there is a good market for them. Before buying tools, do a lot of window shopping either on the internet or retail outlet stores.
So how do you know if you are looking at professional tools or cheap tools? one idea is to keep a look out for trade fairs connected with Woodwork and tools, you will learn a huge amount by visiting one of these. If you buy new 'edge' tools like chisels and planes, they will come with a ground edge and will need sharpening (sometimes called honing). If you buy second hand tools they may come sharp but more often not. Once they are sharp I will show you how to stay safe and look after them. View some of the amazing tools that are available both new and antique that can take pride of place on your work bench. Now you have bought tools and they are sharp. You need something to work with, I will show you the different kinds of wood, what to look for and what to avoid.
