[Woodcarver] Sharpening

[Daniel Heine]

Darrell,

I am hardly an expert, but most of the persons I ran into at the Evart
Roundup were using a belt sander for sharpening. One model that I am
planning to purchase is offered by Lee Valley. You have to supply your own
low speed motor, however. Check the link out:

Woodcraft(the corporate one) has a power sharpener with a waterstone mounted
horizontally, so you get a flat bevel. Its on sale now for $79.99

Good Luck,
Dan Heine

Hi gang,

    I will be buying a sharpening system this week or next. HELP PLEASE. I
now sharpen with ceramic stones and hone with a hard felt wheel attached to
my hand drill and use the green compound. I normally only carve in my small
shop and never take the tools anywhere and I do have wooden floors, which
will eliminate any chipping of the tools.
    I have been looking at the Ultimate Sharpening system and the Ultimate
Honing system, both are offered by Woodchips I believe. I do mainly a lot of
the larger type carvings as opposed to the smaller caricatures or pins.
Please give me some input, my budget is only about $200 or so.
Thanks so much,
Darrell
