Blade honing for turning

[Carl Swanson]

Hey everyone,

Just wondering if anyone knew of a "do it all" sharpener for various chisels. I had my dad's
turning set that's pretty much spinning off dust instead of shavings... and another set
that's soon on its way out.

I know Wolfgang makes sharpeners for each type of chisel (skew, gouge, etc.) but don't want
to shell out 100.00 or so on each sharpener. I've always done chisels myself, as well as skew
chisels... but I'm apprehensive to sharpen a gouge chisel by eye.

Thanks,
Carl

Carl I have a 8" slow speed grinder from Woodcraft and the wolverine sharpening jig. I sharpen all my turning tools with this jig.

I've got the same setup as Bernie with varigrind attachment for gouges.
