Tool sharpening using the Wolverine Jig. You can download an extensive tool sharpening write-up that John and Derek Roff revised last year from this website. Click on Tips & Techniques, then on Tool Sharpening Basics. We recommend you print the document for taking notes during John’s demonstration.
John will cover the six basic turning tools, Spindle Roughing Gouge, Skew Chisels, Parting Tools, Spindle Gouges, Bowl Gouges, and Scrapers. He will touch on the variations of each tool and the implications for sharpening.
If time allows, John will also take question on other tools such as hollowing and beading. Some new tips not found in the handout will also be covered, and suggestions from the audience will be encouraged.
