I know it depends on the material etc. but on average how many pens can be turned before the tools need to be sharpened?

My tools never get a chance to get dull but they could always be shaper.
I am an odd ball with you, just I only go every 10 or so pens. But I do hone my tools a LOT! But, I am going to get some better honing stones to do it "free-hand" since I saw that in a video. But, currently I don't have my own grinder[:I], but I have quick access to one. Don't worry, I am getting one VERY SOON!Originally posted by Dario
<br />I am the odd ball...I sharpen every 20 or so pens, earlier if I have to (read dull tools at that point). I am lazy that way [B)]

<br />I don't actually use a sharpener stone on my tools, I touch them to a belt sander before every pen, and sometimes during the pen.. As Fred said, a sharp tool does the work.... a dull tool is downright dangerous... to you and to the work.
