............antee if years ago we were neighbours and I’d said I can’t sharpen my chisels correctly you would of shown me how enough times for me to get it but alas I’m self taught and I’ve only ever achieved a sharp chisel using jigs . I keep them sharp most times but as said time and other things can get in the way -but sit in front of the tv with my table , chisels and a good coffee and off we go a few mins to get the edge back and a couple more grades to refine the edge and all done ..oh btw I do use a steel for my knives .

I just deleted a random selection of the above and typed in a few dots to show where I'd cut.

Edit I’m not sure how you do this quote thingy but not to worry

As long as you still have your faculties then you will always be better at home , the day you recommend a honing jig or anything less than 2 push sticks I will know you are not well happy birthday to you too ..
