“Sharpen Really Narrow Chisels”, light touch, short straight strokes! #chisels #handtoolwoodworking

3-Second Blueprint (English)

1. Grinding the tip of a 1/4-inch chisel down to 1/8 inch leaves a wider rear body that prevents rocking when flattening the back.
2. Avoid circular motion on narrow blades; register the primary bevel with light finger pressure and take tiny straight strokes.
3. Raise slightly on a 16,000-grit stone for 3–5 seconds of short strokes to polish a parallel micro-bevel, then shear off the burr.
