Plane/Chisel Stone Sharpening

Gordon,
         For once no flame suit is needed. I tried this method when I read 
the article and was able to shave with my pocket knife afterwards. The 
initial sharpening took some time but afterwards the leather strop provides 
a quick touch up and keep it razor sharp. I don't make a habit out of 
shaving with a pocket knife but it's really nice to have a sharp blade!  I 
still prefer my diamond plates though. They cut to the desired angle much 
quicker!
