Stropping set

So this is my another sharpening thing I made. I used to keep a leather stropping and a stropping compound in a ziploc but I upgraded it.

Quick access, compact to store and It's actually so handy.

Another great video. I love the way you work, it reminds me of how I started. For many years I did everything on a really old Black and Decker Workmate that sat outside in my garden for over 20 years in all weathers because that is all I could do at the time. That Workmate just refused to die. I weighted it down with concrete so I could use a hand plane without it tipping.
 


Obviously there are limitations to this way of working, but there are also ways around the limitations and I think finding them for all those years made me a better woodworker in the long run. I love my strops and use them regularly to touch up an edge between sharpening sessions. I made the two at the bottom of the pile and bought the two with handles. I even made my own stropping paste last year.

Andy -- Old Chinese proverb say: If you think something can't be done, don't interrupt man who is doing it.

I like this, may have to make one for myself. Good job.  Mike
Brit, Oh haha, thank you! I don't make stuff to sell but I just enjoy the process of woodworking so I don't need big machines or a big space:) I still use the chairs but my outside workbench now is a retired fishtank base...

You even made the paste... what can't you make? probably the next thing you can make is a big ziploc? so you can store them all?

Mike, Thank you as always!
