Lazyman thx.-- Space is a premium in my small shop so I need to find a "put away space " for my set up.
Thx.BB1-- I'll look at his site. I'm leaning towards a simple honing jig.
Thx.Rich--I'm leaning towards diamond stones and a leather strop/compound-Less messy. I have no room for another machine bench top or otherwise.-but I yearn for more space-don't we all.. I'm probably going to purchase 1-2 Narex Richter chisels to start but I'll look at those Japanese chisels.
Thx.SplinterGroup -- I would love more space for those dedicated work areas.
