bruce johnson Report post Posted January 29, 2009 Carefully. It is pretty easy to enlarge the hole and increase the size. I use things with the right radius so when I put wrap a piece of wet-dry around it the radius matches the curve of the bottom of the blade. Mostly I use nails of different sizes or small screwdrivers. I strop on an edge of oiled skirting with again different radii to match the curve. I rub my compound on the edge and pull away. Be careful on sharpening and stropping you don't end up running into the opposite cutting edge. I really like to use bisonettes, but they require some care sharpening.
