As Charlie Brown is known to say, Aughhhhh. i have a funny feeling that my tone is going to come off as snarky, but I truly hope you don’t take it...

A colleague of mine once told me "the problem lies where the power dies". A VOM is your friend.

I had not heard of Spyderco ceramic stones. Not needing to flatten them is appealing. I could get used to that. I didn’t mean to imply that...

EVs offer the potential to buffer that excess demand/supply feature of the grid and can do so near instantly if plugged in. I would be wiling to...

It is worth a reminder, for those who dislike flattening waterstones, of the Spyderco range. Think of these as the oilstones of the waterstone world....

I’ve had a Norton tandem 220/1000 and 4000/8000 set forever, but I’ve used up the 1000 Norton, so I tried a single King 1000 because it’s thick and...
