Yesterday Mike Taylor from Taylor Tool Company demonstrated their new sharpening system for Megan and I at ESSA. The system works and is far simpler than other systems. It breaks through the assumptions that keeping hand tools sharp is difficult. It does require a special kind of 3M Cubitron™sanding disks, a drill press and a shop made jig. I made three jigs in advance of Mike's arrival, as I wanted one for use at ESSA, one for use in the Clear Spring School workshop and one for my own shop.
Making the jig might be the hard part for many woodworkers, but clear plans are included.You can watch the system at work here: https://youtu.be/w3Y1AANySkY
The system may seem too simple and inexpensive to be true, but it really does work. https://taytools.com/collections/supplies-sharpening-supplies/products/drill-press-sharpening-system
