×If you are new to woodworking or need some learning on sharpening, his class is money well spent! And, no, he did not pay me to say that! Guitar building and repair has come a long way with people like Robbie sharing information! TJ
Very helpful. I've used Robbie's tools, and they are sharp. Good course. Barry
I decided to set aside my pride, and see if I could up my game on sharpening, and went ahead and bought this course. As I suspected, I'm reworking old habits, picking up new ideas, and getting a fresh new start on this all-important subject. Yes, it turns out you can teach an old dog new tricks. I'm highly recommending this course! Peter
Love the sharpening course so far. The video on scraper sharpening is worth the price of the whole course! It's amazing what a difference sharp tools make! Jeff
This is a great course and was the first course I bought from Robbie - I worked on learning sharpening before starting on guitars. I figured until I could get my planes, chisels, and scrapers sharp —there wasn’t much need in me trying to work on expensive tonewood. It is really good information and Robbie makes all of his instruction fun. Larry
Robert's course is very informative and well worth the money even at full price! Never mind such a generous discount! Get it, watch it, learn it & you'll always be the sharpest tool in the shop! LOL! Don't ever be dull again! TJ
I purchased Robbie's sharpening course a while back. It is a very well thought out course that gets to the heart of the matter of sharpening tools. I highly recommend the course! Scooter
Robbie's sharpening course is well worth the price and the time! Robbie would have made a great high school shop teacher! If you have trouble getting your tools sharp and straight this course is for you! Buy it, get it & watch it! You won't be sorry! TJ
After struggling for years with sharpening my tools, this video, along with the Veritas MKII, changed my life! I now get sharp, consistent and quick results. I highly recommend it for every luthier. Russ
