    Default Basic Chisel Rehab - Grinding

    I'm nothing like an expert - as everyone should know but I thought it was worth recording this ...
    getting a largish chisel into some sort of shape.

    The far wheel is a "normal" grey wheel (maybe 45-ish grit), and the near one that was hidden a white one (60? 80? grit I think)
    Both AlOx afaik.

    In particular, when I started trying to figure out sharpening - the best advice I got in the end was looking at the light reflecting at the edge ... but the word descriptions of that hadn't put me in the picture. It was when I started sharpening gouges that that really struck home. So I tried to show the edge here.

    Cheers,
    Paul
