Hi, thank you for your video. Do you keep your stone in a water box or do you keep it dry stored and when you want to sharpen your tools, you put it in a water tray for a while before sharpening? thank you for the precision!
Just purchased a Japanese Santoku whetstone to sharpen my linocut Pfeil tools. The slipstone isn't essential is it? I can do that with a piece of thick cloth? Thank you!
Thank you! I am new to all of these these and more than a little nervous about trashing my tools!
Well done! The video image is very clear and the explanation is concise and complete. Thank you!

Why do you move the back and forth on the wetstone? Why not just backwards? Im asking since many videos people do different directions
Viktoria Rosa that was the way I was shown but you could do it in one direction if you want. I find my method works pretty well
but why do i follow exactly and my tools are not sharpened but destroyed...
Aleksandra Majewska ah sorry to hear that. Not sure what you did but this has always worked perfectly for me. Practice makes perfect
Can you sharpen mine please, pal? My eyes are bloody knackered!
Good info,
Thanks
Does the slip stone have to be we?
Doreen Shilling yes it should be wet
Doreen Shilling yes it does, the wetness provides a kind of lubricant
