Create a review for a woodworking tool that you are familiar with (Shopsmith brand or Non-Shopsmith) or just post your opinion on a specific tool. Head to head comparisons welcome too.
I have sharpened stuff personally and commercially for a very long time but I'm always ready to learn something any time I can. This week when I was in the library I grabbed a book on tool sharpening that caught my eye.
I believe it is one of the best overall that I have seen on the topic...
The title is (drum roll) "Taunton's Complete Illustrated Guide to Sharpening" by Thomas Lie-Nielsen. Written with more facts than personal opinions.
I was a little surprised that he mentioned but specifically excluded bandsaw and circle saw blades but then again that would be another book by itself.
Every thing else he pretty well covered.
If you get the urge to buy a book this would be a good one.

They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks.... I guess that means "so long as we keep teaching ourselves new tricks they can't call us old dogs.";) Thanks for the heads up on some good reading material. I will put it on my short list.
