Historic Ithaca Presents Japanese Woodworking Workshop Local carpenter Peter Wiedmann will present "A Sharpening Primer: Chisels and Plane Blades" on Thursday, April 29 from 6:00 to 8:00pm at Historic Ithaca, 212 Center Street, Ithaca NY. This session, the second in a three-part series on Japanese woodworking, will focus on sharpening chisels and plane blades. Eastern and Western tools will be used to compare their effectiveness on different types of wood. Participants may bring chisels, planes, and wood cutting boards that need tuning up.
