Woodworkers of all abilities will have a chance to try new tools and learn new skills at a special Hand Tool Event in Austin. The free event offers fans of woodworking a chance to use a wide array of hand tools and learn techniques such as simple honing methods for razor sharp blades, and tuning a hand plane for optimal performance. The event will be held Friday, January 9th and Saturday, January 10th at the Austin Community College’s Riverside Campus, and is sponsored by Lie-Nielsen Toolworks. The event will feature guest demonstrators including Paul Sellers and Frank Strazza of the Heritage School of Woodworking and Bridge City Tool Works founder John Economaki.
