Members malabar Posted December 13, 2012 Members Report Posted December 13, 2012 Thanks for all the advice. I appreciate it. I currently use shears and utility knives. I make the utility knoves cut pretty darn well using this http://www.leevalley.com/US/Wood/page.aspx?p=44884&cat=1,43072 They sell a leather belt for it, which turns it into a power strop. Coat the belt with jeweler's rouge, and you can polish a utility knife blade scary sharp in a minute or so. I still think a good round knife will have some advantages, though. tk Quote
Members J Hayes Posted December 13, 2012 Members Report Posted December 13, 2012 Off topic but I made a belt grinder like that from a DC motor and variable speed control, an excellent edge sanding machine, I slow it way down and no longer accidentally burnmy edges. A leather belt for it would be awesome! Jeremy Quote
