Tbh, the time it takes to hand-file a bevel drives me nuts.

Ngl, I've considered buying a power tool but the old way just feels right.

My last chisel took me almost an hour to get right. There's something about the rhythm of a hand file that a grinding wheel just can't match, even if it's slower.

Yeah, hand filing lets me feel the edge better so I don't mess it up. Got any tips for keeping a steady angle?

Grinding wheels are for people who like to rush and ruin things.
