Sharp Tools
The feel and beauty of finely crafted wood…the refreshing smell of your workshop…the absorbing joy of cutting and joining that makes the hours race by… These are the reasons you love woodworking. ~Jack Neff, Make Your Woodworking Pay for Itself, 1996
************** Anybody can make sawdust and wood chips, even with crude or poorly sharpened tools, but one's degree of skill and excellence of product is a ratio of the steel grade and how sharp the tools are when applied to the timber. ******************** http://thompsonlathetools.com/sharpening/ |
