We all know that the ancient mysteries of sharpening are guarded by an elite group of ninjas that live high up in the mountains. I mean, c’mon, everyone knows that. In today’s episode, I will reveal some of those mysteries. If the ninjas ask… you didn’t hear this stuff from me.

Dave,
I’m kind of surprised at your take on some of the items on the list. While there are certainly some pretty pricey items in the Pop Wood list, the list is true to their goal of pointing out the really intriguing and excellent products.
Sure, the powermatic bandsaw at 4k is pricey, but that seems to be on the outside. For every really expensive item on that list, there’s a correspondingly inexpensive one like the Forstner bits.
very useful and good
Great post, thanx.
