In responding to the thread on sharpening, I made what I thought was a simple, innocent suggestion:
The Fine Woodworking site has a good video showing Andy Rae sharpening a plane iron using Japanese water stones without any kind of honing guide.. I found it really informative and quite simple. I tried it his way and it worked, but have since gone to the LV Mk II honing guide for better consistency. I think it helps to watch an expert actually perform the task to get a feel for what he's talking about. THe FWW site isn't free, but I've found it's well worth the $$ just for all the archived articles, plans, videos, etc.
Can anyone tell my why this was pulled? Surely it's not considered marketing???
