I’m so sorry to be this late on an announcement, but here it is, this weekend, Tim Manney is teaching a sharpening seminar at my shop in Rollinsford. It’s taken years of cajoling to get Tim to teach again (he’s been busy with family, reamers, chairs etc…)but he finally agreed. He will be teaching how to sharpen all sorts of tools, straight and curved with very clear direct methods that are result driven and intuitive. There are a a couple of spots left, the class is only $400 for two days. If you are looking to do the one thing to propel your woodworking forward, this is it!
And down the road a bit, there is still room in the Ladderback class with Andy Glenn in November. Don’t miss this one, Andy is wrapping up his book for Lost Art Press on Appalachian Ladderbacks and the makers who are still creating chairs in the backwoods. It’s a fascinating journey into chairmaking and the people who practice the tradition, once it publishes, his classes are going to be tough to get into! Check my schedule for details.
Life for me lately has been a mix of workshops and working on my house. I’ll do a post soon showing the progress of my 1790’s cape renovation. It’s super engrossing and lots of fun, I can’t wait to share it with you.
