There is much discussion among artisans when it comes to improving the cutting behavior of tools quickly and permanently, but the debate is settled here in Sharpening Woodworking Tools: How to Achieve the Sharpest Cutting Edges with Traditional Techniques by Rudolf Dick. Expert engineers and master craftsmen prove the benefits of sharpening blades and tools using methods based on time-tested Japanese waterstone grinding techniques. Learn through detailed instructions how to get perfect edges on your chisels, planes, axes and hatchets, woodcarving and woodturning tools, drill bits, and handsaws in a tool-conserving way, using stones, files, and specially designed machines.
