I'm looking for a book on hand sharpening. I use water stones on my
chisels ( with a guide ) but just got a lathe, and will be faced with
sharpening gouges, slew chisels, and whatnot. Guess it's time to
learn to sharpen without a guide.

Anyway, hoping for suggestion of a good book available from/thru
Amazon. Also, one on basic lathe operation is probably a good idea as
well.

Thanks for your input.....

Norton has a video on sharpening. It will show you the technique.

You can learn it in an afternoon.
