EDG - Edge Tool Fundamentals 

Prerequisites: Completion of Intro to Guild Safety

Instructor: Michael Bourgo

Assistant: TBD

Learn efficient techniques for using chisels, axes, drawknives, spokeshaves, rasps, files, and scrapers. Hand tools, once properly setup, and sharpened, are not difficult to master nor tedious to use. Discover the pleasure of working wood with tools that do not make noise, do not make dust, and therefore you do not require protection from them.

Materials and tools will be provided.  Students are welcome to bring their personal and required PPE, hand tools, a pencil, notebook and a Combination square.
