WOODWORKING QUIZ for 6 Nov 04

[Ralph Jones]

Good Morning Friends,
I have an old sharpening stone that I got from my dad, and the middle is "dished out" from years of use.
Is there a way to flatten it so it's usable?

Respectfully,

[Robert WA]

Flatten it out by rubbing it on a hard, flat, abrasive surface. Sandpaper on glass works, so I am told, but I am a primative and use a formed, concrete building block.
We call them Besser blocks over here. They are very flat, having come from a mould, quite abrasive and a good size.

[Ralph Jones]

Good Evening Robert,
You have hit the nail right on the head as that is the answer I was looking for, congratulations.

Respectfully,
