[pianotech] Of Chisels - sharpening

[Greg Newell]

I’ll second this Paul. After a long time thinking about it I finally bought
the Surgi-Sharp system and boy does it work! Fast too!! I’ve given my
complete set of very fine Marples razor sharp edges that seem to go through
wood like a knife through butter. FWIW

Hi all, 

I've been using the Surgi-Sharp system available through wapin.com that
attaches to my belt sander.  It works fast and gets my chisels really really
sharp extremely quickly.

re: sharpening.  There are many methods and treatises out there.  The link I
posted:

http://www.toolsforworkingwood.com/

has an exhaustive and fascinating section on sharpening.

David, you are so droll!

Best regards,

P.S. the other half of the Mystery of Chisels, I guess, is how and with what
you sharpen them......
