Welcome to the ALR Steve. As you saw its a great bunch of guys and I am sure you will enloy it and be a great help to many as well.
For anyone out there who hates or dreads to sharpen gravers, you need to check out Steve's sharpening system. His patented parallel point works great and the sharpening fixtures are reasonably priced and nearly fool proof.They are also adaptable to both bench stones or a power hone. I bought the whole bundle at the CLA show but you can pick and choose if you want.I've already sharpened two points and used them in hand chisels. They get a big thumbs-up as far as I'm concerned.
