Well, I had three chisels in need of a bit of work.   A Buck Brothers 3/8" Mortise chisel,  a Witherby 1/2" paring chisel,  and a "Work Zone 8mm Aldi's chisel. 

While I was down in the shop, a little prep work was done.  8mm chisel was badly chipped on the end.   Ground a new edge.    Beltsander to re-do the other two edges.  Who ever had done these two before me...did not have a clue.   Mortise chisel was @ 45 degrees?    The Witherby was a very short 35 degree bevel?    Brought the chisels and the "supplies" up to the work zone on the dining room table..

600 grit stone, 1K grit, and 2K grit sandpaper, a leather belt for a strop, and a Veritas MK1 honing jig.    Found out, right off the bat, the Mortise chisel does not work with the guide.  Way too many angles going on.    Lot of free hand work with that one.   There is an area between the front wheel and the platten on the beltsander, that does work nicely for the bevel I needed...

Starts out at about 25 degrees, then towards the edge, "morphs" into a 35 degree edge.    Hand work to polish this one up.  I'd set the sandpaper on the stone, and work the bevels, and the back..

Til I could run the two down the strop..20-30 times.   Next was the Work Zone 8mm.    This one I could use the jig..

Set it at 30 degrees.....it was at 25, but the edge wouldn't hold up.   35 was a bit too steep.    I'll try 30 for a while and see how it does....

Stone, then the two sandpapers, then the strop,  on the strop, it was free-hand.

As  for the Witherby?  Since it works as a paring chisel, I could lower the bevel to 25 degrees.   Belt is an old leather work belt, used to hang my nail bags on.   Now all three are sharpened up.  Need someone to haul all this back to the shop.   Not sure what "grit" the strop is, the highest grit I use on the wet or dry is 2000 grit,    Stone is just a 600 grit Medium India oil stone.   About all I have to sharpen with in this shop.....oil is just 3in1 oil.

Can't send him to his room since it's the dungeon...just won't give that knee a days rest...I'd send him out to get a 'switch' but he'd have to sharpen tools then make a table, tool box or something out of the 'switch.' 

Yet another thing I am reminded that I need to do.  Nice work on these!

 

Ok, I got the four piece set from Aldi's all nice and sharpened up..

That handle poking into the shot?

!/2" Fulton chisel.  The honing guide is a General No. 810.     Works, IF you have enough room.
