sharpening wood chisels with the paper wheels

[Richard J]

for thoes of you who might do some woodworking and have the paper wheels you can sharpen wood chisels on them. it takes some practice to keep the blade held at the same angle until a burr is worked up but you end up with one hell of a sharp chisel. i sharpened up 7 chisels for a guy up the street and he said i got them too sharp :eek:. place the chisel on a stationary wheel so you can see what angle to hold it at when working up a burr. the edge will be hollow ground to a certain extent but they still cut good. once you work up a burr just remove the burr and polish the edge and you're done.
