Portland Peak Oil's preparation group will be holding the first meeting of the workshop series..will give a short presentation on how tools are made, some basic metallurgy covering heat treatment and tempering, and tools and methods of sharpening. He is going to try and cover the basics of sharpening both garden and woodworking tools. I would like to encourage those attending to bring a tool and whatever sharpening devices (files, stones, etc.) they have so we can have an interactive workshop to practice some skills. In order for everyone to get the most from this workshop, it would be nice to know what people would like to learn, and the tools they plan to bring for sharpening.
