Workshop Description: Having trouble keeping your edger sharp? Does your skiving knife just skip over the top of the leather? If so, then this is the class you need! With the use of close-up cameras and a big screen TV, Bobby will demonstrate how to make your tools cut again! What’s more, you’ll learn how to keep them sharp. Topics covered in this demonstration include edgers, French edgers, skivers, gouges, stitch groovers, hole punches, tube punches, awls, draw gauge blades, straight blades, round knives and swivel knives. The discussion will include strops, stropping techniques, types of strops, systems and how and when to use them. Bobby will also review the equipment and systems that he uses to maintain the tools on his own bench. Time permitting, there will be an open Q & A session where he will answer questions regarding any subject which may interest the class.
Materials to bring: Note taking materials. Cameras are welcome.
