Thanks Robbie, another great and informative Vid. Focusing on something that is so basic to producing good work but an often overlooked aspect of it. :D

Nice to hear in church but not in a Mexican prison.

Another excellent video Robbie.

I don't think enough people know about using a stop block to set up their honing guides to make sure that the next time they go to sharpen, they are using the exact same settings, making the process go so much quicker.

Thanks Robbie,

Not understanding how important the 'back' of the blade is to true sharpness is probably the single biggest cause of failure when people venture into fine woodworking. This is a very valuable lesson for beginners indeed.

Great stuff as always and thank you for taking the time to post here at the ANZLF.

Cheers

Kim
