He got all his parts from his stash in the shop or at Harbor Frieght. Now that said, this system worked, but Thomas didn't use it much. He shaped his knife blades on a belt sander layed upside down on his bench. Worked them with three different grit diamond sharpening "stones", and finished them off with a 24 inch long leather strop on a stick.Tom Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03463033824387830517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5775756370228803474.post-39710160581753928952011-11-09T14:03:16.503-06:002011-11-09T14:03:16.503-06:00Hi Tom,

I did not quite know what materials he used or where he purchased them . I thought you might elaborate on it if you are familiarr with the project. Also your opinion on how well it works.Robert Cahillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07196282971882118367noreply@blogger.com
