Re: Recommendation Request for Chisel Honing Guide

I have never used one, is this something I should have?
usually if it is a chisel  that is really chipped ( like one used for
cutting metal and who knows what) I use a green stone on the tablesaw
( running at reduced speed)  to give it a hollow grind, then keep it
sharp by hand honing.
I sometimes just fa****on a simple jig to keep the blade angle close
when grinding.
Planes I just do by hand. figure 8's on the oilstone , or waterstone.
It's the way dad always did it, he was a skilled cabinetmaker, but I
am just a novice by comparison.
Of course some of the available tools have changed.
Iv'e done similar with the jointer blades. but I have hear of others
sending them in to be sharpened.this might make them last longer buy
not grinding excessively.
