    When I make tools and grind a lot in a day with CBN wheels I get those dust ignitions often. If there is a layer of steel dust built up on the table, the high carbon or more plain steels burn slowly,...

    If you are resawing at decent amounts, get a Kataba. You will inevitably use the rip side of a ryoba more if you are into resawing by hand and will sharpen the rip side more; the saw wears unevenly...

    I have the Shapton 30k. Got it for very cheap from a kind woodworker years ago. It rarely gets used, I prefer ending on a sigma 13k for synthetic water stones, a Jnat, or a nice oilstone. If you are...

    That Norton stone flattener does the opposite of its job description. It cuts fast, and will take off your pencil grid and any marks on your water stones every time leaving the illusion that your...

    I got my set a few years back, and the three biggest chisels had similar issues (coincidentally also in white oak is when I found out). Talked to LV and three replacements were sent and return...

    Stewie; perhaps Moria would've been more apt a description. Certainly some mithril; good info to be found here - along with plenty of... Orc-ish-ness.

    This was detailed in another thread; but with files. Rasps are harder to dull and achieve smooth faces with all the pointy teeth; files are easily dulled with a bit of sand paper on a flat surface....

    Lol, I should've been more clear. Blue tape, that'll be a classic line if it isn't already. I meant those magnetic boards of wood that people use to store their kitchen knives. So I was genuinely...

    Go ahead and flatten. It's not something I would really worry about for stones coarser than 2 micron abrasive sizing. It's more an issue (imho) with natural stones. I flattened my 13000 sigma and...

    Well I'll be darned. Looks like shellac gets feisty after a few years. Turns out a detailed thread on this is on this forum too. Looks like google really is all mighty.

    There are good Damascus manufacturers, along with san mai type construction. A single layer weld should be pretty cheap for those guys. Perhaps the west does have avenues in terms of...

    I dunno about missing, but there are other tools. Or other variations/configurations of the BD smoothers. The cap iron wars on this forum are stuff of legend.
