Great tips and in depth instructions. I really like the single direction passing the tool on the stone. That makes so much sense for control. Thanks so much Peter! Looking forward to the drawknife video.
Why do you think quenching the tool to keep it cool is a bad practice? Does putting so much pressure on the tool while grinding keep you from getting good bevel? My practice has been to always keep a small bucket of water near the grinder and I always use it. It has worked ok for me, but granted, I’m not the most careful sharpener.
Thanks so much for the video. They are always so informative and done so well. I didn’t even know you could grind without having to quench the tool periodically.
Is the riser block under the grinder just for a place to mount the tool rests? To provide a more comfortable working height? To make storage under the bench easier?

Burn Baby, Burn!
Excellent tips and methods. Thanks Peter.

Well my goodness, you surely sparked a number of ideas with this one, and I'm just blue that I can't be there right now to quench my curiosity. :-)
