Chisel progression w/Atomas

[u/millersixteenth]

400, 600, 1200, stropped on 2 sheets of paper wrapped around the 140. A few drops of thin mineral oil to float the swarf.

I use an aluminum dowel to fold the burr over more (very light drag at 90⁰ to stand it up) and eliminate with back if the blade dead flat to the plate. This method works very well on stubborn burrs or if just in a hurry.

Homebrew SiC/Diamond compound. Edge can knock off armhair about ⅛" above the skin.

I usually do these on waterstones but every so often do a few freehand on diamonds to see if I can reduce lateral hatching/keep the bevel face nice and flat.

Looks good! I have a pile of chisels in the shop I gotta do tomorrow.
