I have a two inch by four inch German made slab of fine grained ruby.

I use Japanese ceramic stones for my knives and lathe tools. 120 grit
for cutting a new edge and depending on the finish I want, 1000,3000.
5000 grit for polishing. I have 3000/8000 grit combo stone when I
really want a fine edge on my lathe tools for really tricky turning on
soft woods.

The trick is to get a wide stone so you can swipe the whole blade.




Do you buy those stones from the German screwdriver importer?






WAFA is attacking the WRONG guy! News at 11!

Damn that WAFA is dumb! What in hell was his Yale degree in? Oh, wait,
never mind, that was just another lie.

Nordic Tugs are pretty cool but not my cup of tea. The stack on them
is pretty short so it's not much of an eyesore.

I'm a big fan of get home power so I'm far more attracted to twin
engines. Working on a blazing hot engine in a small space isn't my
idea of pleasure boating. I love working in small spaces when it's
nice and cool.

Maybe, someday, you will be able to afford one. Good luck with that.

No one ever talks to Dingy Dan.
Best he can do is try to butt in when the men are talkin'.
