Sharpening
with Dick Hoblitzell
Sponsored by the Woodturners

It is often said that a woodworker is only as sharp as his tools, and that's doubly true for woodturners.  Working on a lathe demands sharp tools so turners must develop a workable sharpening system.  There are several ways to sharpen and Dick Hoblitzell will help to demystify the different ways during his presentation at the November 2019 Woodturning Meeting.
We will also have our Monthly Challenge on canes/walking sticks as demonstrated by Chad Dawson.  As always, we will have our Show & Tell!  Come Join Us!
​NOTE:  Meeting starts at 6:30pm.  The meeting is in the large classroom at the Camillus Middle School which is located at 5525 Ike Dixon Road, Camillus.  Directions Here.
Don't Forget Your Canes/Walking Sticks for the Monthly Challenge as well as Your Show & Tell Items!
