Tips For Maintaining Sharp Woodworking Tools
There are a number of methods to sharpen your woodworking tools. Most are kept sharp by employing a rough whetstone to wear the metal to a thin cutting edge. The higher quality natural stones are more pricey, but you can get satisfactory results from less expensive, man-made stones. As part of the sharpening, whetstones are lubricated with water or oils to be sure the steel doesn't become overheated and to prevent fine fragments of metal and stone from clogging the rough surface.
