Vote to Establish a Woodshop Sharpening Station (view source)
Revision as of 22:32, 4 March 2020
, 22:32, 4 March 2020→Background
We simply have no guidance on ''how to sharpen'' anywhere. The station this vote proposes to establish would be an '''Authorization Required''' station. The stones and jigs are not amateur dollar-store quality products. They need to be understood and respected to last and continue providing good return on investment. The authorization would fully encompass how sharpening and honing works, how to use the tools, and how to clean up after yourself to maintain the system for your shop-mates and future self.
