chisels

[William R. Monroe]

Gene,

"THE wet stone?"  What grade stone are you starting with??  If you are 
having trouble removing enough material, I'd guess your stone is to fine to 
start with.  You'll need either a set of stones (my suggestion is at least 
three grades), and if you are really reshaping the bevel to start with, I'd 
start with coarse emery on a granite surface plate.  You must shape the 
bevel with a very coarse stone/paper/whatever, before you can begin to 
refine that edge with finer grades of stone/paper/whatever.

Best,
William R. Monroe
