I just got a new set of chisels. They're the new ones from FREUD and really are not bad for a set of 6 at $35. In the past I treated my chisels badly and they treated my projects the same way. I'd like to keep these in better shape. My problem is the vast array of stones and powders and gadgets available for sharpening chisels. So.... I'm taking a survey How do *you* sharpen *your* chisels. I'm not really interested in the new ( I think ) motorized wet stones as they are quite expensive, and I won't put my chisels in a regular bench grinder because I've ruined too many that way already. So please suggest hand sharpening methods. My wife just got a couple of gouges and plans to do a bit of carving. I am sure that these must be very sharp do work well, and again I am in the dark about the best sharpening method. Your help is appreciated Mike @ AMD P.S. I find far too little activity and intend to stimulate it with as many questions as are necessary. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
