I got this in my email today: Here is a good video by George Vondriska, for anyone who has a lathe that may be intimidated by sharpening lathe tools. I think it’s an awesome video. Enjoy. Thoughts and comments are always appreciated.

no prob guys. the only thing I would do different would be to use a felt marker to mark the area that needs sharpening so you could track and see your progress

A little more complex for my liking Roger. I prefer a white stone on a bench grinder. You can make your own jigs out of wood for the chisels or you can buy the metal manufactured version. If you already have a bench grinder it saves another costly purchase.
Don’t get me wrong that demo was very impressive & effective but there are cheaper options. Thanks for sharing.
