Tool Sharpening Workshop at Maine Local Living School

Feel free to bring other tools as well such as a kitchen knife, chisel, drawknife, block plane, etc. The ability to sharpen unlocks our ability to reuse the old and rely on ourselves. Absolute beginners welcome! The workshop will be followed by an optional community potluck meal. Please RSVP on our website to let us know you're coming to either or both (workshop and potluck).
