Mark,
I look forward to reading your thoughts as you use your new Viel. With your knifemaking background and experience with larger belt grinders, you bring factors new to me to the discussion. I find the forum experience so valuable. We can access the skills of knifemakers, professional sharpeners who do extensive sharpening on a week in week out basis, the many years of experience from members like Rupert. What a wealth of shared information!
I hope to contribute to this knowledge. For sure, I am benefitting from it!
My Viel is presently at the detailing shop getting racing stripes and replacement mag wheels.
( Just kidding. I have no desire for a tricked out show Viel; I just want the most functional tool which is reasonably possible. I am looking at some of the jigs Viel makes. I believe they are underused and not appreciated as much as they should be.)
Do keep us posted.
With family commitments, my shop time is very limited. I am looking forward to much more use with your marvelous hone.
Ken
