This class will be an active, hands-on workshop refurbishing tools from
rusted to ready to use. Rust removal, re-grinding, sharpening, rehelving,
what to look for in purchasing antique tools and what supplies are
necessary to upkeep and refurbish tools at home will be covered. This
workshop will focus on the needs and interests of the class attendees, so
bring your tools to work on! This course will not cover fine
reconditioning for valuable antiques, this is about making user tools

bring to help us have the right materials on hand. Additional tools will be
