Our church has a program on Tuesday evenings where men share what they have learned with the young men and some not so young men as well. I was asked to do a class on woodworking with hand tools.
First you must learn to sharpen your tools. Here I am (upper left, black shirt) explaining the fundamentals of grinding a chisel. (I wish I knew how to flip these images upright)
151566
A dad/son combination effort at grinding a bevel. I don't have pictures of honing but we sharpened it enough to shave with.
151565
A plane demonstration. I should have chosen a better panel. That one had some reversing grain.
151567
Sawing a tennon for the door frame.
151568
We attempted to put together a small cabinet with a rabbeted carcass a frame and panel door. I had previously cut three of four of all the cuts/operations so it didn't take long. I tried to keep it simple by using as few tools as possible. The young guys were more impressed with the sparks off the grinder than the woodworking.
-Peace,
