This course is taught in French, but I speak English.

How to sharpen your tools effectively: no more wasting time and energy with tools that no longer cut, or throwing them away and buying new ones over and over again!

In one day, learn the theoretical and practical basics of sharpening the hand tools you bring with you: knives, scissors, garden tools, axes, gouges, chisels, etc., for greater independence, savings, and to conserve resources.

Bring: your tools to be sharpened, as well as your whetstones or sharpening tools if you have any, in order to assess their potential. I also provide all the essential sharpening equipment. Please let me know if you have tools to sharpen other than those mentioned above.​

Passionate about traditional hand tools and techniques for over 30 years, I am interested in the place they can occupy in today's world. I enjoy sharing with others the fruit of my experience and of my practical and historical research.
