I think I'm tired of sharpening!
Spent most of today sharpening 15 plane irons and 13 chisels :eek: and managed to cut a gouge from my left thumb - which I didn't even know I'd done till the red stuff appeared

Nice piccie AB!
I'm itching for a good bout of sharpening (specially getting so blade backs flat) but it been hot-hot-hot here, and the shed has been a real sauna. Might have a bash tomorrow morning if it's not too warm.
Cheers

You only need to sharpen them if they are blunt
If they are blunt it means you have used them
Using wonderful tools like yours is fun
Therefore ........ no it doesn't make sense.:confused:
Beautiful collection of tools there Steve, the fact they needed sharpening shows you do not fit into the category of buying great tools for display purposes.
