Thank you so much. This is absolutely brilliant.

[MrJohn714]

No disrespect but the real secret is a good stone and knowing how to properly use it.

@carverswoodshop When you say Lancaster do you mean Lancaster Ohio? If so that is only about a 10 minute drive from my place. I find this very helpful and might stop by, if it were to be where im thinking of.

put the drill between two clamps and put a strong clip on the trigger

[0magnum88]

Very helpful. thank you very much . keep it up......

[JIMTIGERLYONS]

clamp your drill in a vice and use a cheap garden plastic tie to clamp the trigger, then you can use 2 hands on the knife

[Supermassively]

How can you tell when a knife is not sufficiently sharp, and how can you tell when it is finally perfectly sharp?

[carverswoodshop]

@Supermassively well one way i ck is cutting it across the grain of basswood, it will cut smooth,, and clean,, no white trail lines from the blade,

[IamKyleTheGuitarist]

Use a whet stone, Get razor sharp edge.

Hi , i would use a med grit and a fine grit, it wear down but i find the heavy grit takes off to much metal, i used what ever came in the kit , thanks , arleen

[cgseymour]

Hi Arleen,

What type of sandpaper do you use? Are there specific grits or types you would recommend?

Thanks.
