I finally got around to putting together a dedicated sharpening station of sorts. I had kind of a set up on a small table near my bench, but it wasn't at the right height and I just did not use it effectively. I also just picked up a hand cranked grinder for 900 Baht, about US $30.00. I have it set up temporarily but still need to set up the Veritas Grinding rest that I have.
The bench is a old jewelers bench, that is nice and solid and just the right height. It is up against a window so I have some decent natural light to work with.
I am happy with the set up and in working in the shop this weekend I found I actually used it productively. I know it is a good idea to keep the tools sharp as one is working along, but I was always a little lazy with the old set up. Now I think I am working in the right way.
