What sharpening stone did you get?  It looks a bit coarse to me for final honing.  Is it double-sided?  I would think at a minimum, your final grit for honing would be 4000 grit following by stropping on leather with the green stuff, or 8000 grit with or without stropping.  If you're going to practice dovetailing, I think you'll be much happier with truly sharp chisels.
Still Learning,

Charles

Just wondering,  what did you do with all the tools everyone gave you years ago?  I thought everyone had sent you had everything?
As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification.  Thank You Everyone.

It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

Sorry to hear that Charles....

Where are you locating your new shop now???  Do you have a job related to woodworking?

Glad to have you back, don't be a stranger around here..
