Title: chisels sharpened more precisely
Post by: Ken S on February 07, 2022, 02:28:57 AM
For several years I have done my forum work using my iPad. It is comfy in my recliner, but not very efficient. I recently reacquired my obsolete iMac when my grandson moved on to a faster gaming machine. The old iMac has  21" screen. I watched the Tormek online class on chisel sharpening. I have seen this numerous times on the iPad; however.watching it on the larger iMac screen was like watching a movie "on the big screen". I think the larger screen makes learning easier.

I am no stranger to sharpening chisels. For many years I sharpened them with oil stones, and then with water stones and sandpaper on glass. I have sharpened them on my Tormek since 2009. I still learn more each time I watch the online class. I would recommend the online class to anyone having difficulty with chisel sharpening.

I agree!   These classes really are quite well done.

I watch YouTube with my 102" home theatre screen - it definitely makes learning easier! Though the sharpening time stays the same...
