    Ha, ha, ha, ha,

    Bob !

    Well done !
    Humor is not dead in the woodworking realm PRAISE BOB !
    To really now what I meant by that one has to have a working knowledge of this book :
    http://www.amazon.com/Harmless-Turtl...5031323&sr=8-1

    Your post just supports my previous one in another thread that postulates : when one has reached the highest skill level in one's craft the only tool one needs is a rock.
    One grit.

    Personally I am at one grit now but I use a sharpened rock. Some say that is cheating and I am embarrassed to admit my use of a crutch such as sharpening the rock. I am vigorously weening my self from sharpening as we speak but it takes time to break old habits. Especially habits one enjoys and dare I say addicted to. There . . . I said it.

    Sharpening is Facetating.
    Good enough is good enough
    But
    Better is Better.

    Too bad I just sold this old grindstone. You could do some REALLY slow grinding with it!! It's about 15" in diameter and 4" thick.
