Hello,
My son and I are learning to carve and we could use some advice about sharpening. There are so many sharpening products out there that we’re sort of feeling lost as far as what we need, so we’d appreciate it if someone could suggest a basic list of what we need to sharpen chisels. I’ve searched on-line and in various forums and understand the basics of sharpening, but don’t understand some things, such as the differences between oil, water, and diamond stones, and how many different grits we need. I’d like to keep it basic so we can learn how to do it the right way and then move on to the more advanced stuff. Thanks.
