I’m still getting into the swing of sharpening chisels and plane irons. Woodworking is a science, sharpening is an art, a dark and arcane one.

    Impatience is why I use diamond plates. Who has time do deal with water or oilstones?

      I have one, too! Eventually I got a holder for it, instead of trying to use it flat on the bench. Yeah, that was dumb to use it alone.

      I just got an angle guide block. I think that helped me today. I think I was “eyeballing it” too shallow.
