Having a tough time getting back in the swing of things after two weeks in paradise. Didn't help that I walked right back into the meat grinder at work that's been steeling my soul since July. Thought I'd give a little tried and true therapy a go, and see if that could lift my midwinter WW spirits.
The wonderful catalogues were getting a thorough review and I've been talking to other creekers about some of their treasures. Nothing like a few new toyls to make the chips fly. One advantage of surviving the meat grinder was a nice Xmas bonus that has started to show up in my pay check.
A new Hock A2 iron for my G. Granddad's #5 needed some attention. I've been looking at the electric sharpening systems but haven't bit yet. Wet stones come out, and after a few minutes a lapping, just enough time to break a sweat, all the energy, excitement, and wonder of the Neander craft starts to flow. Long story short. you need a lift or a jump start? Try the hand methods of sharpening your tools. It's magic!!
As you can see there is enough therapy to get me through the rest of the winter.
Try it you'll like.
