One (of many) ways to sharpen a chisel using water stones, in this case, King and Norton stones. Based on teaching handtools at Cerritos College Woodworking for 20 years, I found this combination to be the best value for sharpening woodworking tools. The video was initially released on the department's YouTube channel. I have re-edited and re-released it here.
