Tool Repair
A sharp chisel is a joy to use, and a dull one is a hazard. When a chisel is dull, you push harder, it slips, and that is when it skips across the wood or your hand. Chisel sharpening in Portland brings back a flat, razor edge, so your chisel cuts clean and stays where you put it.
A chisel only works if the back is flat and the bevel is crisp. We flatten the back where it needs it and set a clean, sharp bevel by hand. The result is an edge that pares end grain, chops a clean mortise, and takes fine shavings without tearing. Woodworkers know the difference a truly sharp chisel makes, and we get yours there. For your other shop tools, see our woodworking tool sharpening.
Chisel sharpening is a flat $10 per chisel. That covers the bevel and any back flattening it needs. Have a full set? Bring them all and we will get the whole roll sharp. Portland has a strong woodworking community, and we sharpen for plenty of it.
