The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, Md. is hosting a basic tool-sharpening workshop on Saturday, August 11, 2018 from 9am–12pm in the Boatshop. Participation is limited, with advanced registration needed.

If taken care of properly, your edge tools can last generations. By keeping them well-honed, you will find they can cut like new every time. Learn the basic techniques to put a mirror finish on your aging tool collection. This workshop will cover the proper preparation, sharpening, and honing of hand plane irons, chisels, gouges, and other carving tools.

Bring your tools, sharpening stones, or nothing at all, as the Shipyard can provide for demonstration. The cost for the workshop is $24 for CBMM members or $30 for non-members, with registration needed at cbmm.org/toolsharpening. For more information, visit cbmm.org.
