I'm often a skeptic of a lot of information I read on websites but I wasn't happy with the results my chisels and planes were getting. My chisels were some 40+ year old 3 piece cheap Craftsman carpenter set I bought. I had sharpened them with no impressive results. I bought a WorkSharp 3000 and used it. It improved things still didn't see the results I expected after watching a lot of videos.
A couple months ago I posted here in the Neander forum asking for recommendations. I ended up buying a set of glass water stones, a diamond lapping plate for the stones and due to delayed delivery, I canceled my order for a Narex Richter set of chisels, drove to Spokane and shopped at the Woodcraft store that had reopened under a new owner. I bought a set of Wood River Bench socket chisels. I just finished sharpening that set of chisels with results that rival what I had read about and never seen.
The Shapton glass water stones work as advertised and the Wood River chisels sharpen much better that my old Craftsman chisels. I hope the new bench chisels work as well as they sharpened.
In a few weeks I need to lap and sharpen the blades for the new hand planes I bought.
My thanks to everybody for their inputs. The results were truly impressive.
