Hi all,
SO having taken the bath on the Veritas LA Jack and Large Shoulder Plane, as advised by yourselves truly, I have used these to the point of now having to sharpen. The time had to arrive - too early for my liking
I must say that these tools have been fantastic to use. Nothing like I remember when I was a school doing w/work. Hell, those tools were disgusting by comparision. :shock: :shock: :shock:
I am reformed :lol:
So far I have made two tables and shoe rack to hold all the shoes my kids deposit at the front door!
Now here is the dilemma: which sharpening fixture should I get? :roll:
Either:
Veritas® Mk.II Honing Guide $48.50
Veritas® Sharpening System $36.50
It is not about the money (yes it is of course as a factor) but more focus on getting the right thing for a newbie like me. I KNOW how much hard work is required to use blunt or dud tools – being doing that for years. :roll:
So as part of the reforming process I need to obviate the difficulties experienced so far. Well that is what I tell SWMBO. :idea:
So which one and why? :-k
Also, going through old posts it seems lots of folks in UK import from Lee Valley direct – seems cheaper and 4 days away.
Is it cheaper overall? Also, does HM customs etc. get themselves very involved here? Talk about rip my arm off and beat me with it! (hammer)
Any advice is welcomed.
Thanks in advance!
