I've recently gotten into woodworking, I have a whole bunch of old and new tools that I inherited and bought new.

I was wondering how everyone keeps their hand planes and chisels sharp,

Of course as razor honers we got all the nice stones and maybe a couple of DMTs, so I was wondering how everyone sharpens their planes and chisels?

What stones do you use and do you use a honing guide or free hand?

I'm particularly looking for getting a couple more DMTs (higher grits) because they remain flat and seem the easiest to use and finish up on a pasted strop.


Also, if there are any good resources or people you really like, feel free to suggest; I still have to learn a lot

Currently, I'm studying books and DVDs by Paul Sellers, Rob Cosman, Chris Schwarz and Roy Underhill
