Scary Sharp

[Garry Smith]

I keep one pc of glass set up with all 3 LV grades cut in strips. .

I made a chisel/plane iron sharpening jig that I seen in one of the magazines a couple of years back. With this simple system there is no need to to glue the sandpaper to the glass.
I have made up a page that shows the system if you are intrested in viewing.

Any substitutes for glass? I don't like the "breakability" of glass. Cut myself yesterday pretty bad w glass. Any other flat surfaces that work?? Also any other options on glue. Understand 3M 77 hard to remove, clean. Thanks

Jerry, I bought a couple of granite tiles from the big box. I looked at several of them and found a couple that when laid on the floor gave me a distortion-free reflection of the celing lights. I mounted the tiles onto a piece of 3/4" MDF. Seems to work alright.
