I was brought up in the “old school” and always use a 8X2×1 for sharpening all my woodcutting tools,PLanes Spokeshaves chisels,you name it…I have NEVER used any gadget to hold my cuitters for sharpening,after a while you instinctively hold the cutter at an angle suitable and I think nowadays I cut sharpen a chisel in my sleep:)..........I am retired now and live in a retirement villagewhere we have just had a workshop built for the use of our villagers who want to potter around making gadgets for their homes & toys for their grandkids and I am hoping to be able to help them as much as I am able.
