Wet sand with water as a lube if you are so fiscally aware.

I have two of David MAZZAGLIA wonderful bridge notching chisels, but am a dunce when it comes to sharpening them. What are the methods/equipment used by you folks to sharpen them. I found the Tormek SuperGrind on the web, but it's a tad pricey. I worry about maintaining proper bevel angles, etc. What about Japanese waterstones. I'm at a total loss. Help!
