that's why I posted my experience, I have really no other stones than the spyderco since dumping my Arkansans. My fine and ulta fine spydercos are still real flat, the medium is slightly dished, and...

Is the 220 stone glazed, seriously, the 500 cuts like brand new 220 grit carbide paper, maybe faster.

+1 on learning the skill

Follow up thread on sharpening. When I was smoother choosing BU vs. BD, I started some talk about the Spyderco stones I use. I said that I was getting tired of spending so much time sharpening us...

Been using eCab since version 3, great software

How does he have any fingers (or stumps) left is beyond me. I could only watch one vid, I hope it is a joke. Just goes to show, the internet will make anyone an expert, all you have to do is post.

way cool! Now inlay some contrasting wood and checker it!

Guys, feel free to sell me one of the LN saws:D

In, thanks!

16" Delta/Invicta and 8" Delta, 8" is for edge jointing, 16 for face

I payed them (him) a visit 10 years ago (at least) and purchased a set of squares, I use them every day. They sell the smoother planes in kit form now, but back then they were made ready to go. ...

I used oilstones way back, works just fine, and I still have my arkansas stones. But I don't use them for any ww'ing anymore simply due to oil contamination in the shop, - it was bad and costly to...

Rob you made my day, searched AFD on your wwsite, and proceeded to laugh my rear off!!

Hey Will, I'm fine with what you've said about the stones, heck, I've also wondered why they cut do darn slow, and shine up steel so readily. It's got to be the surface loading. I'm getting a...

George, that's just crazy ridiculous skill in inlay. Outstanding!

Not sarcastic but it was funny. I don't know what they are made of, but they are very hard and long wearing. And they load up with the steel and also the brass from the veritas guide, that might...

Thanks for reading and posting guys. Let me say I intentionally dumbed down my test based upon my current work that I do. Ahh, I think I just implied that I do dumb work.:D

I'm really one of...

backbevels, for me, are difficult due to how I sharpen thinner blades. I use a veritas honing jig, and when I backbevel, it's hard to reposition the jig repeatably when switch sides going from grit...

+1 for me, but I can't pry my wallet open that far!

My answer, your results may vary:D

In my unscientific experiment, I used my LN 4, LV BUS w/38 main bevel and +2 degree secondary bevel, and a Bedrock 605 1/2 with a hi carbon Hock blade and...

That's very clean and elegant, and very cool to work on such a commission!

I use a 5hp delta, panels face up, one pass (tangtung freeborn cutters). If the wood is being unforgiving (read cutter is getting dull), I'll hog cut then take a 1/32 finish cut. I have a rub...

So I read some more, and enjoyed the posts to the earlier BU vs. Down thread, and I came up with the following plan:

I bought a bedrock 605 1/2 on fleabay and ordered a Hock blade and chipbreaker....

Good point about the LV bevel angle - that's what I get for skimming the beginning and reading the results:D I don't think LV even offers a 20 degree grind, I assumed he was using a apples to apples...

Thanks for responding guys. I did read a bunch of posts and reviews before dropping this thread, I know it's like asking "what tablesaw to buy".

For grins, read this
