Carving Tool Maintenance
Online Demonstration The Printing Museum, Houston TX December 10th, 2021 11:00am - 1:00pm CST/10:00am - 12:00pm MST Learn the science and practice of maintaining razor sharp edges on your gouges. Having a properly maintained set of tools will result in greater carving accuracy, longer lasting blades, reduced physical fatigue as well as less chance of injury. Using a basic set up of easily made or purchased tools I will show you how to hone, sharpen and repair dings on your U gouges, V gouges and Chisels. This is an excellent resource or refresher for anyone who is intimidated by the world of sharpening, those who have inherited some long neglected tools as well as artists who are considering upgrading from their current student set of blades. This demonstration is interactive so there will be plenty of time during and afterwards to ask specific questions.
