Sharpening

This page is dedicated to sharpening tools of all sorts.  Sharpening, is that oh so important skill with which so many woodworkers struggle, unnecessarily so, I say.  There is no magic to sharpening, no untold secret of the ages, no "one method to rule them all."  There is only the physics and understanding of what makes a sharp edge, a properly ground angle and a basic set of easily obtainable skills to set a truly sharp edge on a tool.

Sharpening is one of those skills, like so many others, that has thousands of varying preconceptions, opinions, methods and results.  This is a collection of a few methods and instructions that I have found to be useful, accurate and repeatable.  I'll be adding the "coming soon" items in the near future, and if I have requests for additional information/videos I'll compile and add those as well.

Grit Comparison Charts:
Please remember that these comparisons are approximations, and that grits will vary based upon manufacturer and material.  The best way to know what you have got (if you don't already know) 
is to use it and see what type of edge it will put on the steel.
