Seems to have mastered sharpening woodworking tools.

I had not seen that before, but there is nothing new in the world. So he uses diamond paste on a fine India stone, with the explanation that his fine India is glazed... Sounds familiar. A pound of 500 grit Silicon Carbide costs less than a 5-gram tube of diamond paste.

I bet he would love a decent soft Ark charged with diamond in the 1-2 micron range.

I suspect he's happy with his routine and what it does for him in the shop.
