Huge,

In my case I do that with a Nakayama stone, which is my finest stone. Apply it with your finest stone (small, like 3-4 strokes). I usually go back to the fine India stone which is about 400 grit, but acts more like an 800 grit water stone. I remove the wear and that small microbevel.

Now, 'e', and 'h' are not adjacent to one another, at least not on my keyboard. That's a funny one!

I think Hugh is now BMOC - what do you say?

I hope the teasing isn't too over the top here- if so, my apologies in advance.

Heck yea! :lol: No apologies necessary and glad to finally be an active member on the board after mooching all the great information here and on both of your sites for far too long. Been a serious admirer of both of your works for quite some time now. Saving ducqets to take one of your workshops in the near future, Chris.

Thanks Hugh!

I would love to attend a workshop as well, but with the youngin' my wife gives me an evil glare if I ever mention taking day's' for anything. The joinery class you posted up does look incredibly appealing, but the risk is far to great on my end.

Attending Kez in brooklyn required extensive negotiations.
