Interesting topic. I am very excited about the skilled use of woodworking hand tools as much as possible, especially using quality tools that do a great job. However, paradoxically, I am investigating the use of a powered sharpening system for sharpening, and minimizing the use of hand sharpening - be it with waterstones or sandpaper. I read David Charlesworth's books, and he seems to get benefit from the older Tormek system.
David - any comment?
