BB, you're Lyn-esque... :roll: D'you really use a honing guide for a scrub blade...? :shock: Oh, and talking of the Marples guide; I picked one up with the instructions - d'you want a copy?

Cheers, Alf

Of course. Maintaining a constant bevel angle is needed not for cosmetics, but to minimise the amount of metal removed at each sharpening. Same reason as for a stright blade.

<spits coffee all over screen> You can't pretend you're not gloating just by being nice about it!

Yes please - a set of instructions would be delightful.

But, but... don't you ever freehand anything?! :?

Can I pretend I'm not gloating 'cos I'm not gloating though? :roll: The day I indulge in a honing guide-related gloat you can expect sub zero temperatures in all the circles of Hades. :wink:

Okie-dokie, here 'tis, in all its rusty glory. Hardly worth the wasted coffee... [-(

Cheers, Alf

P.S. I think Rob's missed a trick there; don't think his'll run on a grinding wheel either... :? :wink:

Well -

I hate to say this Alf - but version 1 did have a ledge back of the wheel so it could be used on a grinder with a tool rest...not sure if it's still there though... :lol:

We leave no stone unturned.... even turning ones. 8)

Cheers -

Tool rest? Tool rest?! This marvel of British engineering doesn't need no stinkin' tool rest... [-( :roll: :lol: Of course the idea of using it au naturale on a great big grinding wheel soon makes you realise why they made it in malleable iron. "Whoops, there it goes again, Jack" "Not to worry, George, it's not broken and you didn't need your finger tips anyway, did you?"

BB, if that al "Dante" bit was a deliberate pun it may be very hard to forgive... :wink:

Cheers, Alf (Heretic, Second Class)
 
#-o At some point today I trust my brain will switch back over from "standby" to "on", but I don't hold out much hope... :roll: :oops: I admire the restraint in not using the "I'm with stupid" emoticon, btw... :roll:

Cheers, Alf
