Product Description
Step-by-step expert instructions and visual aids teach woodworkers the characteristics of steel, carbide, and ceramic while showing how to sharpen any device, from planes, chisels, cabinet scrapers, and drill and router bits to saws, axes, knives, and turning and carving tools. Readers will benefit from a detailed discussion on the four types of bench stones as well as a thorough resource of websites and contact information. An additional chapter presenting a peek at the sharpening setups of some of America’s best professional woodworkers—including James Krenov, Sam Maloof, and David Marks—is also provided.

Customer Reviews
An excellent sharpening resource
John English provides here a most thorough treatment of the vagaries of sharpening one's woodworking tools. I've read articles and watched videos here and there, but none have been so clear on the process and the techniques involved as this book is. Definitely worth the price!
