Hey all, newb here. I’m building my first workshop in my basement with hand tools only (might add power tools later) and looking for some advice.
I’m still undecided on a sharpening setup, so wondering what other people like. How fussy are water stones, and how do you manage keeping them true? Do you have any cool tricks or things you want to show off?
Thanks, I’m leaning towards diamond plates for now.
I’m curious about your gouge setup, I’ve got some for wood carving that I hone with compound but I’m sure they could use a real sharpening at some point.
Otherwise, my needs are sharpening bench chisels and planes.
