Thanks for all the tips and info everyone.

@Ken - yes, that is one of the axes I have.  I also bought a couple of old axes from ebay to practice sharpening with.  Going well so far.

Thanks both.

Willym is correct in that I meant that I will lose the convex shape when sharpening with the Tormek. It's a pleasing shape but one I may need to sacrifice for the sake of sharpness.

Anyhoo - looking forward to trying out the various jigs I have bought and getting the best for my tools.

Hi all

I am new to the Tormek community having recently plunged for a T-4 Bushcraft.  The free Gransfors Axe pushed me over the edge!  My main interests (in wood terms) revolve around greenwood working.  I am part of a small charity in southwest London that promotes these activities (amongst other things) within the community.

So far I have managed to successfully sharpen up some old chisels I bought off ebay for the very job of practicing and even managed a gouge.

My questions will be myriad, no doubt, and I will try to ensure that I sure the search function first.

Next job is to to sharpen up the Gransfors.  The single, convex bevel looks like it might not last if I use the axe jig...
