STUDENT’S REQUIREMENTS
No previous knowledge is required, but students who have been watching videos and investigating on their own are always a small step ahead.
You must bring three chisels (4-6mm, 8-12mm, 16-20mm) and one plane blade for the sharpening practice. Don’t hesitate to contact me for guidance on brands and types. You can also purchase those tools directly from me, and you’ll receive them when you attend the course (I am an associate partner of Dictum Werkzeuge GMbH).
You must bring your own ear and eye protection. I strongly recommend wearing closed shoes for safety.
