Jim Merkel's Tool Sharpening Workshop

Learn real-world tool-sharpening skills from Jim Merkel, a filmmaker and homesteader guru at
MOFGA's Farm & Homestead Day.
As Jim puts it, “"It's important to invest in high-quality tools that will last." However, even the
greatest tools need sufficient maintenance to be useful during your whole homesteading
adventure.
Whether you're planting your first garden or growing your existing land, sharp tools are the main
distinction between unpleasant work and enjoyable craftsmanship.
You will learn:
● The right techniques for sharpening various instruments
● Learn from a seasoned homesteader how to properly maintain your gear.
● The link between sustainable living and high-quality gear
Let's sharpen our axes, knives, pruners, and other gardening tools together!
