It seems a good time to check around and see how other people are sharpening their plane blades. I am conducting a survey of hand tool users. To entice people into completing the survey I am giving away fabulous prizes. One survey participant has voluntered to add to the prize pool. Who knows what all will be available when the survey closes. The survey web page is at the link below.
