Getting setup for the Sharpening Workshop at Barb's Barn on a cold, rainy Sunday
morning in November |
The students begin to arrive for the 9am start as Kurt finishes setting up |
The instructor for the sharpening class was Kurt Hertzog |
With 3 last minute cancellations, we had 8 students for the day's session |

Most of the morning was lecture and demonstration, here explaining the impact of wheel diameter selection |
Throughout the morning, Kurt demonstrated equipment and jig setup as well as grinding techniques on various tools |
At noon, everyone breaks for lunch and the famous Barb's dessert cake |
After a short lunch, it's time for the student's to practice what they've learned |
