Build a Sharpening Box with Bob Van Dyke

A few years ago I had to do a sharpening demonstration at one of the woodworking shows and while I was collecting my stuff I realized how incredibly disorganized I was. Stones were in one drawer, honing guide in another, projection jig hanging on a hook and water sprayer on a shelf. What a lot of steps just to get ready to sharpen a chisel. I came up with this box which keeps all my sharpening paraphernalia in one place and I can even use it as a solid, self-contained platform to do my sharpening on.  The box was featured on the cover of Fine Woodworking Magazine in June of 2016. In this weekend class we will make the basic box (which is a lot more complex than it looks!), apply waterproof plastic laminate to the top work surface, make the stops for the projection jig on top and then make the inside dividers custom to the sharpening tools that you use every day. Sign up today– This is a great opportunity to get your sharpening tools all in one place and get organized! Tuition $275.00 plus materials.
