I spent today sharpening a new set of chisels. If anyone has not used the “sandpaper” method for sharpening, chisels, plane irons, etc. I can highly recommend it. I used a piece of ¼” plate glass fastened to 2” solid cement block. I fastened it with liquid nails. I then put the whole thing in a dishpan half full of water. The abrasive paper will stick to the glass by the capillary action of the water. I used a Veritas honing guide and angle jig to hold and set my chisels. If you have not tried this method for sharpening, “Try it, you’ll like it”.
