Wow....

[MNice]

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.
