Wow.... - MNice - 04-25-2017
I've been a casual woodworker for 40+ years, starting with portable power tools, including a shopsmith but for the last 20 years, mostly hand tools, excepting lathe work.. I've learned to sharpen hand saws so they cut great, chisels & planes alike, with most credit to the people on this site. Been using scary sharp up to about 1500 grit for quite a few years now. On a whim, I bought a 1000/4000 water stone and some honing compound for a strop.
WOW!! what a difference!! Even at 58, I'm learning stuff daily.

You have at least one more WOW ahead of you - an 8000 water stone.

I took a class this past weekend from Phil Lowe on building a Philadelphia lowboy, something I'll never build.
Reviewing my notes Monday night, I learned 37 things.
