Sharpening: A Woodworker's Guide takes one of the most important aspects of maintaining a successful workshop and breaks it down into all of key areas in an easily-accessible manner. Keeping tools sharp is one of the most fundamentally important disciplines to ensure top-quality results. This book will show the reader how. Aimed at both those new to woodworking as well as the experienced woodworker, Sharpening: A Woodworker's Guide is broken down into three main sections: sharpening by hand, machine sharpening and putting the theory into practice.

Areas covered include: sharpening with oilstones, waterstones and diamond stones; correct methods for holding tools; power grinders and grinding wheels; using jigs and tool rests.
