    I asked if he was sure the angle was correct and he shrugged then pulled a drill gauge out of a drawer and it was dead on at 118 degs.

    I always admire anyone who can sharpen by hand whether it be a drill bit or a knife as it is an art of it's own.
    My Dad was the only one I knew that could sharpen bits free hand on a grinder....not that he he was the only one who can do it, he was just the only one I knew who could. Of course he owned a sharpening business so...

    As Wallyeyeman used to say "Who'd have Thunk'.

    While the function is the same today as it was 15-20 years ago when I got my first Drill Doctor the design/layout is completely different on my new Drill Doctor.

    The original came in a nice blow molded case and the new one in a flimsy cardboard box.

    Well I happen to like having a fairly sturdy way of storing tools so I decided to see if just maybe-----------------------------------------------------

    Sure as hell! The new Drill Doctor fits nicely in the old case.

    Looks like you have the basics to be able to make your own handles for bare blades/tools when you decide to expand the turning tool lineup
