Nashville Sharpeners Workshop by Kuda Report

As always we enjoyed the Kuda workshop, this time in Nashville, TN. There was a good attendance including several "newbees."

There were several classes on clippers, etc going on during the workshop which was a little strange because people were coming and going and I don't think I ever saw everyone there at the same time.

We met Jason with EdgePro. We picked up some literature from him for our upcoing sharpeners Jam since he is selling clipper parts at great prices but also in stock and with charts and lists of the parts. Clipper sharpeners be sure and ask for this at the Jam.

Gene watches Lenny Pietrzak as he kicks off the Kuda Workshop. Lenny's stories of his early days in sharpening brought some laughs and groans. Did he really say his first stop had 800 shears? He said his next stop had 1500! He also said he had no idea what he was doing. The second shear he was given was a lefty pinking shear. Now that I can believe!

Click on the title to see all the photos I took at the workshop. I liked Lenny's 4 in 1 Shear Adjusting Tool. We will have this at the Jam and a chance for the folks in the Bending Class on Saturday to actually try out hands-on. The Bonika Shears Shear Sharpening Jam is only a few days away. Have you made your hotel reservation yet? There are plenty of last minute flights on special. Check the travel websites. Remember the Jam is FREE and the other costs are low as well. Although the cost is free the education is beyond value. There is no sharpening convention, workshop or gathering with as much information as the Jam. Can I say it is "Jam-packed?"
