One of the secrets to fine joinery is sharp chisels . . . or as we say in Boston “wicked shaaaahrp”. This video demystifies the secrets of chisel sharpening and clearly shows that a sharp chisel is more important than brand. While there are endless ways to sharpen tools, I have found a process that works best for me. Bottom line . . . do your research, experiment, and find what works best for you . . . get those chisels sharp and start cutting dovetails!

We need more of his insight and instruction made available here.
