Do you really want to screw up a set of Sorbys or Taylors during the
early part of the learning curve?

Good point and worth listening to. I have two really good bowl gouges and I
have been scared to death to sharpen them. Had a friend who really knows
sharpening do it a couple times. I finally built the jig that Darrell
Fellmate has on his website. It helped a lot. The rest my tools are cheapies
and they are good to practice on.
