As you can see a sharp chisel is a lot quicker if you don't have

But you need to know how to sharpen the chisel

Jacob,

Very interesting - but when I was an apprentice some 40 years ago, if I
produced a 'rounded' bevel on a chisel or plane iron I got 'rounded' - an
open hand 'around' the earhole with the instructions to re-grind the f*****g
thing and do it properly this time!

Now what about the amateur and the novice sharpening a hand saw - or even
worse a tenon saw? And this was in the days before 'jack-saws' and 'hard
points' were even though off!

Ah the fun of it all!
