Product information
Woodworkers who have never worked with truly sharp tools are missing out on some of the pleasure that working with wood can bring.
Ron Hock explains in the „Handbook of Sharpening” how (hand) tools become and remain sharp. Sharp tools not only make the work easier and more enjoyable but also safer.
After a thorough study of materials regarding steel and the effects of abrasives, Hock describes the fundamental conditions under which tools can cut wood effectively. Basic sharpening tools and materials are explained and discussed.
The subsequent chapters each focus on a group of tools: planes, chisels, scrapers, handsaws, carving tools, turning tools, axes, knives, and drills. Each of these chapters presents solutions to the specific requirements of the respective tool.
Ron Hock began in the early 1980s as a knifemaker, coincidentally at the place where a certain James Krenov, now a legend in plane building, was teaching. The resulting demand for high-quality plane blades led to a deeper engagement with the subject. Today, his company, Hock Tools in Fort Bragg, California, is one of the leading suppliers of high-quality edges and blades worldwide. We carry the coveted Hock plane blades and marking knives, which are now distributed by Veritas Tools Inc.
