Remembering to sharpen your tools is important...

Doing what I do, I am almost always sharpening or cutting something, and yesterday I broke the cardinal rule in my shop. A sharp tool is a safe tool ! I tried to use a dull carving tool and promply stuck it in my finger like a dummy. After the bleeding stoped I got out a few stones and put a decent edge on the carving knife, the sharpening took me about 5 min. Where as the pre- sharpening Bleeding, wound cleaning and band-aid applying took a half hour. Every once in a while we need these little reminders ...


Here are some places I have gotten sharpening supplies from.
