[Woodcarver] Sharpening Chisels

[Terry Ensley]

I would like to get some opinions on the "best" method for sharpening -:)  As soon as I took up carving I quickly realized that sharpening is incredibly important.  In the past with woodworking chisels I used the scary sharp method and was satisfied with that.  But wood carving chisels are a bit more difficult and need sharpened more often wood chisels, simply because they are being used constantly.  I have thought that I might want to move to a buffer type system for sharpening.  I have a couple 1750 rpm motors lying around, just unsure of what wheels to put on them.

 

Anyway just want to glean some insight from your experience and what works "best" for you.  

 

Thanks,

 

Terry
