Sharp tools get the job done, and Joel is going to help you get there. He’ll also answer questions about which tools are right for the job.

Joel is going to show you how to sharpen a variety of tools, from shovels to loppers to hand pruners to tin snips. He’ll discuss a variety of sharpening techniques and answer any questions you may have about what tool to use for which job.

You’re also invited to bring some of your tools that may need sharpening!
