Does everyone realize that we are talking on topic almost nearly as much as
the blogs and ranters are talking about off topic items?

Does a heart good.

Information and knowledge vs. politics, misinformation, rumor, and bias.
Which one to choose.

Wait, wait. I know the answer to this....................

Taking it little further. Has anybody had the joy of splitting Dutch Elm?. I
swear that the grain is braided and bonded to itself with some kind of resin.
Some varieties (Ontario) are incredibly tough to split even when notched with
chainsaw.

Taking it back to metal content, is there a good method for toughening up a
splitting wedge when it starts to mushroom? Few months ago a steel chip
broke of with such a ferocity the it sliced through my pants and imbedded
itself in the side of my knee. I sustained some minor nerve damage and would
not want to repeat the experience. I have a TIG/STICK welder.

As far a sharpening goes I am back to file. I tried various rotary bits but
as they wear, the diameter of bit changes and you do not get the proper cut.
