[IBC] Sharpening tools
 

Dear IBCers.

After a couple years of using dull tools, (esppecially concave and knob
cutters) and not being able to find a person locally who could sharpen
my tools, I finally found one, but not locally here in New Jersey....

If anyone is interested in shipping their tools for sharpening, please
Email me privately, and I will give you the information... I felt the
prices were excellent.

Best regards for sharper tools,

Carl L. Rosner

[IBC] Sharpening tools
 

Hi, Carl.

Bill Valavanis had someone doing sharpening and repair at his recent
symposium.

Presumably he could be reached through Bill.

[IBC] Sharpening tools
 

My tools have the need for sharpening but there must be a better way (for me
at least) than shipping them off. I thought we talked about this a couple
years ago, but I didn't save those posts :-( . Don't most of us sharpen our
tools ourselves? And with what he asks? My whet stone just doesn't -cut-
it.

Shelly and other members:
I am just not adept enough to sharpen the concave cutters let alone the
knob cutters. That's where I draw the line on being a do it yourselfer.
Specialty tools should be sharpened by experts.... in my humble opinion.

I took my tools to a local sharpener, and he said that he couldn't
guarantee the work.... The gentleman to whom I sent my tools, is not
related to me, and I certainly do not have any affiliation with him, but
for those who are interested here is his Email address:

I have an article on sharpening tools at my website, including those pesky
concave cutters:

Thanks Brent. I admit I feel a bit foolish, I should have gone to your site
without being told, after all, I bought my concave cutters from you! And I
love them!

And Carl, you're right too, there is definitely something to be said for
letting a pro do it right.
