The basic Scary Sharp™ system consists of a selection of sandpapers and a rigid backing plate. I add a stiff brush and a honing guide.

After honing, strop your tools on a piece of leather charged with a super-fine abrasive polishing compound. If leather is hard to come by, a couple of pieces of typewriter paper adhered to a rigid surface work just as well.

To adjust the holder to rotate, snug the jam nut against the washers, but don't collapse the wave washer. Hold the jam nut from turning with an open-end wrench and tighten the T-handle against it.

els and plane irons, but also gouges, skews and parting tools.

The tool holder mounts to two grooved brackets that slide along steel rods. To adjust the angle at which the guide holds the tool, slide the brackets up or down on the rods

and tighten the wing nuts that lock them in place. To secure the holder, rotate it to the desired angle and tighten the T-handle. To adjust the holder so it will roll as you sharpen a gouge, insert a jam nut between the T-han-dle and the washers. Tighten the jam nut

until it just begins to compress the wave washer. Hold the jam nut from turning and tighten the T-handle against it.

As shown, this honing guide will accommodate hand tools up to 18" long. For longer tools, extend the steel rods. PW
