Last week I was bleating on about sharpening TC chisels and asking about bench grinders and jigs and stuff, it was really worrying me,not only the presumed skill and expertise needed but also another extra cost to add to the price of setting up shop. I even snapped at poor old Georges ankles for what he had said ....I'm sure now that he was only joking ...in his reply to my post...sorry George.
Anyhows the lads on this forum came to my aid..first Woody who basically said Nah, forget grinders and jigs and stuff this is what you need, Terry for his post on a home made sander which I based my sharpener on and the Ramrod man for his encouragement on the chisel side of the story.
The whole thing cost me under sixteen pounds ,I have used it today and this sharpening thing seems to be a doddle I even managed to put an edge on my TC skew and it now cuts a treat ..just like when I bought it. I found the whole thing simple to make and simple to use .Thanks again chaps.
