Thanks for posting the link Ern. A good site for anybody starting out or someof us who might want a few tips as well :2tsup:

Lots of good articles there; on gouges, grind wheels and abrasives not least.

High production values, having come from the online version of AWT.

The 'sandpaper' article is incomplete and will be updated in the next few days.

Good pointer, Ern.

So far I have only looked at a few articles, but will return to look at more.

The Bill Neddow article on grinding wheels I found particularly good, as are most things that Bill writes.

Thanks great pointers for me as just starting out. Saved me asking all the silly questions.

The 'sandpaper' article is incomplete and will be updated in the next few days.

Have now read Part 1 of that article, which drives home the significant difference between the European (P) and US abrasive grit size systems. Well worth a read if anyone uses abrasives from different makers and is not familiar with this issue.

Very Interesting.

Yes, the grit progression analysis was an eye opener.

Might explain in part the scratchy results I've had out of Dry Ice discs.
