SUMMARY:Staying Sharp: How to sharpen your knives at home
DESCRIPTION:Great Room \nWednesday\, July 13\, 2022 \n1:30 pm – 3:00 pm \n $7 Fee (scholarships available) \nRegistration is strongly recommended.  \nPlease arrive 5-10 minutes early to fill out the necessary paperwork. \nPlease be advised: If a class needs to be canceled or changed in some way\, registrants will receive an email at least an hour before class.

Growing up\, I had little time for the craft\, as my time in the military didn’t allow for much woodworking. I began working with wood in 1986\, and had some success building tables\, desks\, and stools. In 1996 I decided that I wanted formal training\, so I enrolled in Palomar College’s Cabinet and Furniture Technology Program. Completing the program in 2000\, I worked as a Teaching Assistant for the next 16 years. I was able to master many different woodworking skills\, including tool sharpening. I specialized in construction of Early American Chairs.”
