I have been a lurker for the past few weeks and have enjoyed looking at the discussions that are ongoing.
I have grown to appreciate not only the scope but the depth of knowledge that is exchanged.
So much for the accolades, now the question.
I have some old planes and chisels (I'm guessing 1880's to the 1940's) that I've accumulated whose value to me is that they plane, slice and chop wood as effectively as is possible.
How is the most effective and efficient way of lapping and grinding old plane and chisel blades into the best cutting instruments possible?
I have at my disposal waterstones from 220 to 8000, sand paper from coarse emory and 50 thru 2000 grit abrasive paper on marble slabs,and a 4x36 hobbyist belt sander.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your help.
