Elena and I will tackle a new product this week — The Work Sharp -- Wood Tool
Sharpener. The name makes it rather easy to understand what the tool is supposed to do. I
like that.

I also
like the double boxing. UPS and other delivery agents do a great job getting products to
me but not without some bang ups and minor damage. We don't know yet but my guess is that
the product here is going to come out unscathed.

This is
a "product shot" courtesy of the manufacturer. It will be fun to find out what
all the pieces do.

` Elena
starts with the Instruction Manual. It shouldn't take volumes, and it doesn't. The pages
show us what is included, what is optional, how to set it up and then how to use it.
Great.

Check this
out. They even included a chisel that looks to be very sharp. There is no mention of it in
the manual or on their website, so I am just guessing that it is for practice and as a
guide of what is properly sharpened. It is a real nice touch.

Another
nice touch is the DVD which is chock full of demos and discussion of how to sharpen all
shapes and varieties of tools.

Elena is
marking the position of the four hold down areas. It may seem like an odd time to be
mounting it — before we have even tested it, but I am counting on it being a great
shop tool and therefore I want to make a tray for it. Partially I want to do this to keep
from getting any "glop" on my nice work table. I also have a lot of white
melamine particle core board, so I will mount it and make the area oversize and trim it
down after we figure out what works. With the discs and glass plates, there are quite a
few accessories that I want to keep together and protected.
