If I do a sharpening session and do quite a few tools, by the time I get around to use them, I've often forgotten that I did them:eusa_thin so I tend to do them as I pick them up for use, then 10 mins later I'm working with a sharp tool. Same with kitchen knives. If either Carol or I notice a knife getting blunt then it gets the treatment.
Maybe an interesting question for the group; do you sharpen "en mass" or as you go?
I'm in the "as I go" group...typically "as I go" for me translates to "when I am using it and notice decreased performance". :lol: :lol: :eusa_doh:
I will do an en masse sharpening every now and then if I decide my chisels need a little more attention than touch-up.
