Hi Folks,

A month or so ago I wrote that I would teach people one-on-one for hand tool joinery. Talking with someone this morning I found that they thought they had to pay me. Wrong!!

I don't charge anything for these sessions, so if that has been holding you back, don't worry about your checkbook - what I teach is Free!!

So if that changes the landscape for you, contact me.

1. Hand tool joinery
    a. dovetails
    b. mortise and tenon
    c. bridle joints, etc.
2. Saw Sharpening
3. Edge tool sharpening (includes grinding)
4. Scraper preparation and use (it is an edge tool, but somewhat unique)
5. Sawing accurately - the foundation for hand tool joinery
6. Rabbets, dados, sliding dovetails, etc.
7. Anything else - if I don't feel comfortable with something I'll let you know.

Dennis
