Sharpening is not a sport.

If you want to be a better woodworker, you need to learn to sharpen. If you want to be a better sharpener, you need to stop paying so much attention to tertiary bevels and carbide formations in steel and start paying attention to the wood. If the wood is cut cleanly, then your tools are sufficiently sharp. If the wood is torn out and covered in tiny scratches, then you need to sharpen up your tools.

And then keep sharpening your tools until you get the desired results.

"Sharpen This" is a 120-page pocket book on how to get great edges, regardless of the sharpening system you choose. It is about what is important: Creating a sharp edge quickly with a minimum amount of equipment.

It is not a book about becoming a sharpening expert. It is instead about becoming an expert at sharpening.

This little book by Lost Art Press is one of the three "pocket books" that we carry in our school store.  They measure 4.25 X 6.75 x .5". The other two "pocket books" by Lost Art Press are called "Workshop Wound Care" and "Woodworker's Pocket Book". Look for them here in our school store! All are great little resources.
