thanks. Ill see if I can get set up with the SS method. The only thing I
should need to buy is a Honing guide. The rest I should have around.

is there online somewhere a good tutorial on how to sharpen and maintain
chisels and block plane knifes? Also instruction on how to restore
chisles that have really banged up edges? Im needing to use blockplane
more and should sharped the blade.

I caught the end of the program on the DIY channel where he used 4 wet
stones to sharpen a block plane knife but not the entire thing. He would
take paper thin shavings off the edge of wood after sharpened. I have a
water wheel thing with single stone wheel in water well (I guess Tormek
like) that I inherited but not sure its the right thing to use by itself
as the wet stone approach on the DIY used 4 different stones.

Id probably only need to sharpen infrequently like once every 2-3 months
as its a weekend hobby thing.
Any thoughts appreciated.

thanks
