Can you really learn how to sharpen tools from an online course?
During our in-person courses at our campus in Woolwich, Maine, sharpening is something every student practices hands-on, tool in hand, with an instructor coaching their technique in real time. We understand that not everyone can make it to Maine for that experience. We fully believe this online course is the next-best thing, and that YES, you can truly learn how to sharpen your tools with the help of this online course!
We've worked hard to compile everything we teach about sharpening — honing guides, whetstones, diamond stones, the Tormek, and more — into an easily digestible, video-by-video, online format. And not only that, but we've also tried to anticipate every question you might ask as a student of our online course, since you don't have the luxury of asking an instructor during class.
Our recommendation is that you first go through the course content from beginning to end before trying your hand at sharpening (rather than watching a single video and immediately trying to copy what you just watched). Then, once you've got your stones, guides, and tools in hand, continue to use the course as a reference guide, coming back to specific sections to review as you practice your technique and get every edge in your tool kit razor-sharp!
