    Sharpening woodworking tools is a necessary evil because it is difficult to enjoy woodworking with dull tools. In fact working with dull tools is unsafe, a time waster, and often a waste of good materials. In the workshop, much time is spent sharpening hand tools. In this episode, David visits hand-tool collector and maker John de Marchi and tours his unique collection of antique and customized hand-tools. Back at David’s workshop, he demonstrates sharpening tips and techniques for a variety of hand tools and demonstrates proper usage of each tool.
