I have been anticipating the online class number three covering grinding wheels, chisels and plane blades. I was not disappointed. As with sharpening, I feel each class in the series represents a more honed technique.

As with the two earlier classes, I learned things from the first watching. Like the SG, I will continue absorbing more knowledge with future watchings.

Chisels and plane blades have always been my first sharpening love. I feel Wolfgang did a thorough job of demonstrating sharpening and showing how to use the jig. I thought he gave a good introduction to cambering and wisely did not get bogged down in a more complete explanation. Cambering is an important subject, which deserves a full class in itself. That would be beyond the scope and purpose of this class.

I felt the part on grinding wheels was the most complete coverage that Tormek has ever done. It was most welcome and informative.

I look forward to more forum discussion.

I just finished watching the online class number three for the second time. One of the pleasant surprises for me was how well Sebastien and Wolfgang were able to create a program which was both well suited to the beginner and offered many valuable tips for experienced users. Chisels are my favorite tools to sharpen. I have been sharpening them with the Tormek for ten years and on and off since 1962 with other methods. I learned a lot of subtle techniques from the video and will continue learning from future viewings.

I consider this video, and the other online classes not only must see, but must study.
