Charles Guest has not been to the forum in 2 months. He described himself as “old as dirt”. He had a tremendous fund of knowledge, especially hand tools. I enjoyed his spirited debates with other experts on the forum.

Hopefully he is staying warm and enjoying the winter. Probably curled up watching Roy Underhill shows.

Agreed Mark. I don't always contribute, but I check in regularly and always appreciate reading his contributions.

Can we at least turn this into a sharpening thread now?? 😄

I’m only sharpening to 30,000 grit. I don’t think that is enough. Should I go to 50,000?

I bought some 50,000 grit diamond paste at a lapidary shop. It hasn't been opened yet. My quest for splitting atoms kind of fizzled since switching to mostly oilstones.

CHARLES! Glad to see you! Just when the thread devolves into shiny, fancy, expensive tools required, or jigs made of ivory or brass, you and Warren come in to
get things back to woodworking.

Thanks Mark and all -- I'll try to check back in more often.

The Unicorn Method was invented by David Weaver , a former member here. I’ve seen it on line , might have been on YouTube.
