Needing local help to sharpen lathe tools

[Ron in Illinois]

I am looking for an experienced turner in area of Clark, Crawford,or Edgar
counties in Illinois or in Vigo county in Indiana, who is good at sharpening lathe tools. Because of some major medical issues I have lost my knack for sharpening my tools. Would gladly pay someone to sharpen my tools and to reteach me how to sharpen my lathe tools, before I ruin another one.
If he or she would be available to reteach me on using the lathe for pens and bottle stoppers would be a bonus.
Thank You
Ron

Good luck Ron. I'm sure there is someone to help.

If there is a Woodcraft near you, they usually offer a sharpening service and in my area have classes. Also look into joining a local AAW turning club. There are many around and usually plenty of willing teachers.

Hopefully someone close will speak up and give you a hand, Ron. If I were close, I would only charge you the same thing I charged Chris (The Wishman) some years back...
