Default Sharpening a Forstner Bit

Help! I have a previously very sharp Freud 2 1/8" carbide Forstner bit that
I use for all of my initial boring on my endgrain turnings. Alas, it is
need of a new edge. I once tried to sharpen a HSS Forstner bit and wound up
ruining it. I thought I would seek you all's expertise before I tried it
again. Any body know how to sharpen one of these? is there a website with
pictures, etc?

Thanks
