ALABAMA WOODTURNER'S ASSOCIATION CLASS SERIES: Sharpening Wood Turning Tools

(free for all AWA members)

Bring your tools and your questions, and we will try to address any problems you may have. Be sure to attend the AWA meeting in the morning (9:00 AM at Hardware Park https://alabamawoodturners.com/meetings/) where Carl will cover most of the popular sharpening tools, jigs, and techniques. This will include a variety of grinding styles including traditional, Irish, 40/40, fingernail, etc., and will cover most woodturning tools, namely bowl gouges, spindle gouges, skew chisels, scrapers, etc.


About the Instructor:

Carl Cummins has been woodturning as a primary activity for over 10 years.  He has studied extensively from books, videos, workshops, symposiums, and formal training from nationally and internationally known leaders in the field including David Ellsworth and Jean-Francois Escoulen.  Instead of specializing, Carl enjoys a wide variety of woodturning projects including bowls, boxes, practical items, and eccentric art pieces.
