George,

Didn't know they made such a thing. I'll check it out.

I don't understand the idea of just banging away with the chisel ad
infinitum. I mean, don't they eventually become ineffectual, just
bashed flat? The points on several of mine are about half way down now,
and they're getting pretty slow in terms of rate of stone removal.

T & H has a sharpening service that I've used in the past, but it
involves about a 10 day turn around each time, what with shipping both
ways (and $15 per chisel). I figured there has to be a better way.

Thanks for the reply.

Bill M
