The Lie-Nielsen crate for the Hand Tool Event this Friday (10 a.m.-6 p.m.) and Saturday (10 a.m.-5 p.m.) arrived just minutes ago…and will sit in the machine room until the LN crew get here on Thursday to set up. LN will take over the bench room at 837 Willard Street, Covington, KY 41011; Lost Art Press and Matt Bickford will be set up behind the bench room in the library (where we'll have all our books and tools available). So come say hello this weekend, try out all the LN tools…and fetch me a Diet Coke while you're there (I'll be behind the desk in my wheelchair, and won't be able to easily get to the fridge).
And on Sunday, join us at the new storefront/office/warehouse at 407 Madison Ave., Covington, Ky., 41011, from 2-4 p.m. for tours and frivolity. We'll also have all our books and tools there, of course! (I will not be leading any tours; I will be ensconced in the storefront.)
So that's what's happening offline; for what's been happening online, see below.

The Life Cycle of an Edge
Sharpening – the gateway skill to hand-tool woodworking – is often taught with unnecessary mystique and too much tangential information. It really isn't that difficult. Chris Schwarz breaks it down into easy-to-follow short bites of information, such as in this excerpt from "Sharpen This" on when you need to sharpen.
