I don't have a special signature grind or anything, but I find different
weaves work better for different types of work. Ballusters and such work
done in my blue collar worker mode benefit from denim laced with beer and
spit, whilst my art turnings are done with buffing wheels made with
alternate layers of old turtlenecks and tweed jackets and loaded with a
finely ground paste of beard trimmings and pipe tobacco.

Actually, the feed sack burlap weave works best for the Appalachian-American
grind I prefer

It will take me a while to get that testing out of the way, but then I
hope to move on to varying the colors of the plaids. Tartans, etc. I
have a suspicion the proper Scottish plaids will do best for the
O-Donnell grind, but perhaps not so well for the Celtic grinds. Probably
won't make any difference on the Jordan or Ellsworth grinds, but I'll
try to write up the findings nonetheless. I was hoping I might be able
to entice you into serving as consultant on the appropriate tartans.

BTW, has anyone used the new honing grinder with the plaid wheels and
built in microscope, jig and bidet? Tools are said to be so sharp that
the included angles meet at infinity. Arch
