I've had the LN gauge a short while now. It was purchased to use with BU plane blades, which require a secondary microbevel. This cannot be done freehand, which would be my preference for honing nearly all other blades.
Regards from Perth
Derek
Why?
I freehand sharpen all my blades and I don't own a sharpening guide.
They are razor sharp. And it's quick and easy to do without a honing guide.
LN makes a nice honing guide, for sure.
But a lot of new woodworkers read your writing, Derek, so when you say something can't be done they might believe you.
In this instance it CAN be done freehand.
Just a thought.

Thanks for the contribution, very creative design. That seat looks unbearable so it's interesting to hear that it is comfy. Woodnet is a nice bit of home when you are in a far away place. It's raining here.

There is a program that a few here use and I downloaded it but it didn't do what I wanted it to.
It could be done as an android app pretty easily. Simple take a pic of the item then info boxes to fill in.
I'd like to do the same but it would be a gargantuan undertaking. The big tools are easy but they are only a small dollar portion of anyone's collection. All those little tools are where the $ is. My aircraft tools alone are worth way more than my big machines are. Those little things are pricey to replace.

I did not watch them but I like when people have an idea and put it into action.

#2 cuz you have space on both sides of the miter saw. Lathe has room around it too. I like my bench grinder close by the lathe for a quick edge.
