SHARPENING SIMPLIFIED

Having trouble getting your carving tools razor sharp? In Sharpening Simplified, I will show you a simple proven method to get your carving tools properly contoured and sharp, each time you sharpen them .

I’m an award winning carver, with more than 30 years of carving experience. I have taught carving classes for two decades, and was an independent distributor of pre-sharpened carving tools for 17 years. Over the years, I have perfected a unique, easy to learn, sharpening technique which I have taught to hundreds of carvers. This process was so well received that my students kept telling me, “make a video”, you need to share this!

Professionally made in a studio, the 110 minute video is divided into nine color coded segments:

1 Introduction
2 Sharpening Position
3 Sharpening Stones
4 Carving Knives
5 Gouges / Veiners
6 Flat Chisels
7 "V" Tools
8 Micro Tools
9 Conclusion

Each segment of tool sharpening starts with me showing what each tool should look like when it is properly sharpened and why; then I actually sharpen the tool to show how to achieve a sharp and properly contoured tool. Comments accompany each process as I show you the steps.

There has been very positive response from those who now own SHARPENING SIMPLIFIED. See testimonials.
