Last night I broke out my Lansky knife sharpening kit and went to work on one of my Skews. It took me about 30 minutes to get done but that was mostly the roughing work to repair my ham-fisted attempts at sharpening on the grinder and belt sander.
I have to say that skew is deadly sharp now. It runs through paper like my best kitchen knife and shaves wood of like my scary sharpened chisels.
Anyone see any reason this isn't a good method to sharpen turning tools?
I haven't tried turning with it yet since it was late and my shop is right next to the grumpy teen who dwells in my basement.
Is there such a thing as too sharp?
I may try and work up a rig to use it on the roughing and spindle gouges if I like how it turns.
