Great article. I often use a similar product: self adhesive diamond lapping film (used to polish hard drive heads) to sharpen my chisels and plane irons. I have Japanese water stones and some coarse DMT diamond plates in the shop, but I seem to always want to work with the film. It works great.

Thanks Walter,
1. how thick are your glass sheets,
2. is your sand paper wet &. Dry sandpaper?
3. Do you use water when honing?
Cheers David
1. 6 mm
2. Not really 'sandpaper', rather a polyester film with adhesive on one side and AluminiumOxide on the other.

3. No, I use Baby Oil (mineral oil / 'vaseline oil') thinned with white spirit.
Happy New Year!
Thanks & Happy New Year
