You did a great job with the construction of that I am very impressed and now I find myself wanting one I made this out of shop scraps but it is a prototype I think I need to go the route you went. Thanks for posting!

You've got everything you need right there. RE: Sharpening Stone Stations - Pics Please.... - Derek Cohen - 05-12-2018 Just a couple of questions on the systems here to date: Do you consider your sharpening system to include a bench grinder (whatever type)? Do you include for methods that will focus on skewed, concave or convex bevels? Do you have storage for the parts, so that they are easy to access? Do you have sharpening media for different steels (if you have such)? Does your system centre around freehand, guided, or motorised methods? Or do you combine these? Do you have strategies for different types of blade, such as a smoother, chisel, router plane, bead, etc?

Thanks for chiming in. All the best, John RE: Sharpening Stone Stations - Pics Please.... - Belle City Woodworking - 05-25-2018 Well fellas, After a few weeks with the new system all the hand tools in the shop are shaving razor sharp. I am still working on my freehand method with the Barr Cabinet Makers chisels as I have no side clamping jig that will hold them. (Anyone know of one that will?) I have used the veritas MKII to reestablish the primary bevel on a couple of old plane blades that had seen better days, and have been experimenting with 30 and 35 degree micro bevels. I think I am liking the 30 degree better. All I know is I should have invested in a good system like this many years ago. Having everything set up like this all the time makes sharpening fast and simple and something I will do more often. Thanks again for all the input and help! John |
