Does anyone sharpen their lathe tools by hand, without jigs, guides or other
aids. Just a grinder and holding the chisel by hand. Would like to hear
about you experience. Thks in advance.

Yes - sometimes. Doing it successfully is a matter of practice and feel
(Harbor Frieght chisel sets can be less expensive to waste while
learning.)

OTOH, jigs can be handy too, and many can be made for free (well, the
time and some scrap wood.)
