We have a free sharpening video if you send me your mailing address.

Out of lurk mode (perpetual) to ask a question.

I loaned my 'old' set of lathe chisels to a friend who is a novice turner.
The tools are a ten-year-old set of off-the-shelf HSS "Delta" branded
tools,
eight in all in a gray plastic case. I had taken a class in sharpening
and
had gotten pretty good at getting a nice edge on them. However, this was
a
year ago.

He's using the lathe tools to play around with in his brother's cabinet
shop, and nobody there knows how to properly sharpen them. I don't have
the
time to teach him, and frankly, don't know if I'd be able to.

What I'd like to find is a video or something that can effectively teach a
novice turner how to do a good job on sharpening lathe tools. It'll be
for
both of us, because I need practice. I have a year-old set of Crown
Pro-PM
tools that I'm afraid to touch at this point, due to being away from a
lathe
for a year and out of practice.
