zuludog Report post Posted May 7, 2015 I've just been browsing through YouTube and found this video, well worth watching. 'Preparing and Sharpening a Woodworking Chisel' by Paul Sellers Obviously for a chisel, but the techniques could also be used for leatherworking tools, especially a skiving knife. He includes a cheap method using wet & dry paper on a glass plate. I already have a glass plate, it was the glass oven door off an old cooker; I got it originally for skiving.

zuludog Report post Posted May 7, 2015 Thanks, Matt T, for posting the link; my computing skills are even worse than my leather craft skills! The chisels he uses for demonstration are from ALDI. I wonder if Americans have heard of them? Both ALDI and LIDL are German supermarket chains known for being no - frills, reasonable prices, and good value for money. They have recently become popular in Britain. They sell mainly food, but also hardware and tools; probably not the very best, but good enough for amateurs.
