Summary: Keep it Sharp
Comment: The last guide to sharpening you'll ever need. As a novice, this helped me determine which grinder, wheels, and stones I should invest in first. The beginning goes into more theoretical detail than most folks will care about, but the practical chapters and the instructions cover any tool you may ever need to sharpen; from chisels and planer blades to kitchen knives!
Rating: 5
Summary: THE DEFINITIVE WORK
Comment: I have read many books on sharpening, and this is the "definitive work" on sharpening. My knowledge on this subject, based on this book is without question complete. This book allows me to sharpen my cooking knives and wood tools to surpass the degree demanded and required.
Finally, I doubt there is a more complete work on the subject.

Summary: before you buy a "sharpening system", read this!
Comment: I checked this book out from my local library, and read it cover to cover. It is so full of practical and useful information, I think I will have to purchase it to add to my library.
Lee covers theory, research about metallurgy and how wood reacts to sharp edges, with very practical applications of this theory and research. His writing style is very clear and understandable, and his knowledge base is clearly built upon a lifetime of woodworking experience. He points out that, no matter how much you spend for fancy stones, wheels and jigs, and top end tools, you will not get a sharp edge and satisfying result without a basic understanding of wood, metals and abrasives.
The book is nicely illustrated with clear photos and beautiful electron micrographs and very well edited. Essentially all hand woodworking and power tools are covered. It also includes appendices covering research results of how wood reacts to cutting edges and useful reference tables about abrasives.
This is one of those uncommon books that brings together science, art, and craftsmanship is a very pleasant-reading text worth keeping for reference.
