I have had a Stanley 45 for years, but have never used the beading irons. Additionally after wanting a Stanley 55 for a few years one finally came along that looked pretty good for a price that wasn't outrageous, and it has now been in my garage a day or two. It was a happy day!
Alas, there is almost no room to use it though, so back to the saw horses and planks in the back yard.
Projects by Steven, Jim, and others have perked my interested in learning to use the beading irons with my 45 and simple molding irons in the 55.
When I got to thinking about that it suddenly dawned on me that I have never sharpened a plane iron with a profile, as I had never had a need to.
Thus the question, what advise do you have as to sharpening these profiled irons?
I do have oil stone slips, one or more that I have had for years from my dad, but have never needed to use one, but at least I have a start.
Are there good videos out there? Any advise will be much appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Stew
