Title: Sharpening my Tools
Post by: 123maxbars on December 02, 2017, 12:19:30 PM
Made a short video last night on how I sharpen/hone my irons for my hand-tools, This is an easy process that just takes a small investment but really pays of with some nice wood shaving for the wood stove. Hope this might help others that are looking for that sharp edge.

Nice video...

I bought one of these from Grizzly... Love it. It takes all the work out of it.

Nice machine, after using this do you have to finish off with anything? What is the grit of the stones?

I don't know the grit. But I can shave the hair off my arm when I'm finished.
