Daiku,
It looks like I am going to use your method. After coming back from my timber framing class last week, I know I need to properly sharpen my chisels. I'm a little short on cash so your glass and paper method looks like a cost effective alternative. Can you be a little more specific regarding the grits? 220 is pretty coarse, but I may start there to flatten the back of my chisels (old TH Witherby's). What adhesive do you use to adhere the paper to the glass? I have 3m super 77 spray adhesive on hand. Also, I assume that you are also using water on the paper (dumb question I know)? Finally, when flattening the back of the chisel, do you stroke straight back and forth, or criss cross(angle 30 degrees one way, then 30 degrees the other way)?
One more question, after 2000 grit, do you do anything else?
Thank you,
Brad
