SHARPENING PREFERENCE POLL (edited / corrected)
To satisfy my own curiosity, which of the following best describes your primary, go-to method of fine sharpening of chisels and plane irons? If there are sufficient responses, I will post the results.
Oil stones
Water Stones
Ceramic stones...
I have a honing stone that measures about 3 x 7. I have been using it for my chisels for several years. I don't remember where I got it but I now wonder do I put oil on it for application or water? Does it matter or can I use it without either oil or water. It probably came from Lowes.
I'm confused about how much oil to put on the wheel the first time.
I'm confused about how much oil to put on from then on.
I'm confused about how much honing paste to use.
In other words I'm confused:BangHead:
I'm grinding a curved radius on my #5 blade and am curious as to how to hone the arched bevel. I think I'll grind the inital bevel on the grinder but don't see how I can hone that curved edge unless I do it freehand. What say ye neanderthals?

I posted this on Woodnet also. Wolverine Flat Tool Sharpening & Honing Jig. This is a new product for use with the Wolverine jig - I just saw one this weekend.
