I hate sharpening. I managed to sharpen 3 chisels and my plane iron in about 6 hours.
I need a better way to do this. I have water stones (220/800 and 4000/8000). They are messy, need constant flattening, and the edges of the wider blades take forever.
How does everyone else do this?

three chisels and a plane iron sitting bevel up on the edge of my workbench. the tips are shiny and the chisels are (mostly) sharp.

my sharpening setup sitting on my workbench. there is a water basin with a stone on top, a squirt bottle of water, and my flattening stone.

Leg 4 of 5 will be done in about 30 mins. It used every last drop of my wood glue. So, leg 5 will have to wait until the weekend. I have two more bottles coming tomorrow.

Decided I’d had enough and got out the big toys for making a perfect quarter round #woodworking

A drill press with a circular Cutting bit over a sandwiched piece of plywood which has had a notch cut out of it. There’s a red laser X projected directly over the hole.

Frage: hat hier schon mal jemand Essstäbchen, vorzugsweise japanische, aus diesen Rohlingen, die man kaufen kann, , hergestellt? Die ausführlichste Beschreibung, die ich auf Anhieb gefunden habe, begann damit, dass jemand diverse Geräte gekauft hat und dann einen halben Monat daran herum gewerkelt hat. Das muss doch auch einfacher gehen.

Leg 3 of 5 complete.
All these legs need some filling of cracks and a couple of passes through the planer to get all the sides flat.
