Had a chat with an old timer that made me rethink my chisel sharpening setup
This guy named Jim at the lumber yard last week said he's been using the same oil stone for 40 years and never felt the need for those fancy diamond plates. Got me thinking maybe I been overcomplicating things with all these jigs and gadgets for a straight edge. Anyone else ever get schooled by some simple method that's been around forever?

Gotta disagree with the old timer on this one. My diamond plates cut way faster and stay flat without any messing around, and I don't have to wait for oil to soak in before I can sharpen.

Diamond plates are definitely the way to go for speed and zero warping.

How many knives have you sharpened on that plate so far?
