This is a Very Detailed video explaining the different Grits, Standing positions, how to hold the tools, how to sharpen Knives, Gouges/Veinirs, Flat chisels, V-tools and Micro tools. Mr Ellenwood shows and explains in such a way that is not boreing how to sharpen each type of tool. He explains very thoroughly,step by step and you will find yourself wanting to sharpen right along with him. He uses stones and Sandpaper ending with a simple strop of leather OR Cardboard. He makes good sense. I see it available in a Mountain Woodcarvers Catalog but can't find it on their website. their phone is 800-292-6788. Or available here http://www.marniewhillock.com/sharp-10.html [ Edited by: Benzart on 2004-05-16 11:21 ]
