Sharpening with Waterstones – A Perfect Edge in 60 Seconds

by Ian Kirby

Kirby, a master woodworker educated in England, shows the reader how to put a perfect edge on chisels, plane irons and knives. The author advocates using Japanese water stones in conjunction with the ordinary electric grinder as the best route to a sharp edge, yet he also shows how to get excellent results from traditional oil stones. Kirby also includes a discussion of diamond hones.
