chisels - Terry Farrell

[Farrell]

I was referring to the leather wheel on the Tormek - that's why it's not easy to flatten a surface on a wheel.

  If you want to hit it with the leather, lay the leather flat and strop just like the rest of the lapping procedure, with the exception that you'd need to use pull strokes only (figure "S's"?).  Focus on keeping that blade back flat on the leather.  I just had a look at a few of my chisels.  6 of 8 had zero back bevel, 2 well, er, maybe my wife polished those two, or, maybe my three year old........  So, yes it can be done.

  When it comes down to it, I don't know that the slight back bevel you are creating matters much.  It is "agin' the law," but, well, how do your bridge notches look?

    Well, because of someone polishing the backside with a leather strop and making a small bevel on the backside. When I look at the edge with a magnifying glass, I can see that I am putting a small bevel on the backside. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
