Using sharp tools is one of life's great joys. A sharp tool feels right; the job seems that much easier; and the quality of the cut usually means there is less work to do to produce a finished surface on the object. This book provides an understanding of what is involved in sharpening common workshop tools. With over 580 color photographs and illustrations it covers sharpening techniques for the most commonly used tools—scissors, shears, knives, lathe tools and drills, screwdrivers, chisels, and punches, along with the more specialist gravers and scrapers. Advice on types of abrasives, grades, grits, and mesh sizes is given.
