He's already got some Brett. And there were no losers. Everybody gets a prize

You boys shure have a lot of fancy sharpening equipment. Best I have a good read of this thread. The cast iron blocks sound interesting.

Excellent. It's good to know that there is a dumping ground available

It was staring us in the face all along:
Motorised Chisel back flattening - taking the grunt work out of it

I wasn't going to tell anyone but .....
Im going to a number of medical institutions that require them to check me out in some detail. I was spoken to in great seriousness by an oncologist who was most concerned about this "bizarre bald spot" on my left forearm .... was it a "reaction to the radiation therapy" ..... "is hair falling out anywhere else" ....... ?
I asked him IF he knew anything about sharpening chisels ............

I'm sure the health issues have become better now that the Sharpening GTG & Shed Retrospective [ie dusty thingo] have all been put behind you Alan,
so the real purpose of such a good shed can come to fruition - making wonderful woodwork items for relaxation and pleasure....

Does this mean we will see you off to hospital for continuing self harm and impersonating attempts of alopecia patient?

My Uncle would have confounded this poor Oncologist then he didn't have a hair on his body after a WWII mishap during firing round from ships canon during loading process.

Maybe this quack was after an award for finding some new strain of cancer he could spend 30 years and funding (yes you have that long) trying to find a cure for and reaping the rewards.

Hop what ales/ails you isn't going to keep you from the shed and you are sorted toots sweet
