Nice one Robbie. Enviable mirror finish on the back of the chisel. Now can I request a tute on how to polish your chisels like that?

Robbie is old school. For example, did you know he only uses two chisels to shave every day? A 25mm for the cut and 35mm for the reflection!

Nice video Robbie.

Thanks folks. Actually I already have a video course that will show you how to sharpen your chisels and other tools used in lutherie.
