I'll let you know nearer the date. They usually start queuing around the block about 2 days before.

You need one of those deli counter ticket thingies ............... and don't forget security, those northern folk can get a bit rowdy especially if they feel they haven't got their monies worth. Refreshments ... maybe you could have it as a gala dinner night.

We are thinking of doing it outside with a big back projection screen so that people in the next field can see it. Security and crowd control might be an issue - judging by the last one they'll go ape-dung over freehand dovetails. Wouldn't want them to get too over excited, with chisels in their hands :shock:

Watch Jacob and the Hollow Oilstones or watch Stormzy ............. there's a dilemma.

Well, you do know that the 'C' is silent in 'rap'. Does that help you decide ?

Jacob and the Hollow Stones?

If I'm honest, it sounds a bit more 'Titfield Thunderbolt' than 'Taylor Swift'. The groupies might a bit more 'blue rinse' than 'rock chick'.

JC is looking for a new job so maybe he can learn how to pontificate on the subject of sharpening and join his mate. Not much of a leap really wouldn't take him long to be an expert :wink:

Don't know why I've never thought of this before but I've just cleaned the ends of my older Norton Combi stone to reveal "Norton No 0 Combination" and "Fine".
So that explains the IB8 being coarser at 400 grit (according to another site). This means the Norton "Fine" must be 600 ish - in other words good enough for almost everything (which I'd worked out anyway).
Now I know. :roll:
