Having trouble getting your carving tools razor
sharp? In Sharpening Simplified, I will show you a simple proven method to get
your carving tools properly contoured and sharp, each time you sharpen them.
I’m an award winning carver, with more than 30 years of carving experience. I
have taught carving classes for two decades, and was an independent distributor
of pre-sharpened carving tools for 17 years. Over the years, I have perfected a
unique, easy to learn, sharpening technique which I have taught to hundreds of
carvers. This process was so well received that my students kept telling me,
“make a video”, you need to share this!
Professionally made in a studio, the 110 minute DVD is divided into nine color
coded segments:
1 Introduction
2 Sharpening Position
3 Sharpening Stones
4 Carving Knives
5 Gouges / Veiners
6 Flat Chisels
7 "V" Tools
8 Micro Tools
9 Conclusion
Each segment of tool sharpening starts with me showing what each tool should
look like when it is properly sharpened and why; then I actually sharpen the
tool to show how to achieve a sharp and properly contoured tool. Comments
accompany each process as I show you the steps.
