Vote to Establish a Woodshop Sharpening Station (view source)
Revision as of 22:39, 4 March 2020
, 22:39, 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.

=== Fancy thing Under the Plastic Sheet ===
This vote recognizes that the woodshop presently has a fancy spinning sharpening thingy under a plastic sheet. It is not currently set up, nor does it have formalized usage requirements. This vote sees itself and the fancy spinning thing as having two separate audiences. The items described in this vote are more general and approachable. The fancy spinning grindy thing is more intimidating and not something one would use for small quick sharpening tasks, especially for the case of quick touch-ups. Therefore we do not see the spinny thing as being in conflict with this vote.
