Thank you for this Ralph. Do you think you would be able to set the angle on a new chisel by resting it in the guide and feeling when the bevel is flat on your stone then setting the guide?
Not having had one in my hands yet I have no idea if this is practical. The bevel on a plane blade is probably too thin but maybe a chisel.
