Beautiful work! Too bad you need too many power tools for a person who doesn't do this for a living to afford.

[@zeemanknives]

You could do it without all those power tools....just need a lot more time and patience.

[@mikenorris6769]

Do you sharpen your own bits?

[@zeemanknives]

Yes i do...220 grit belt just touching up the cutting surfaces works great

[@mikenorris6769]

@@zeemanknives I have a fine aluminum oxide wheel on my bench grinder,,works good, takes a bit of practice to get right..
