This is a followup to my previous video concerning sharpening tools while away from home base. With that video, I was not happy with that solution due to significant runout of my home built mandrel. I ask for suggestions and received a lot.

This video covers the two main categories of suggestions and my current “Plan C” solution. Actually, “Plan C” is two different alternatives so I can pick and choose whichever will work best for the tool at hand.

Plus, several suggestions centered on honing my tools. So as a bonus, I made a faceplate for honing also.
