I'm not sure if we agreed a sharpening article would be good or not. It seems people do it in many ways and we didn't wish to wrongly advise people. We discussed this here with some good details from people: https://forum.downsizer.net/about7338.html What do others think?

I think that's a good idea, especially for people like me who have absolutely no idea.

Can I make the suggestion that it might be a good idea to take a really tight focus on a single tool type in an article. Selection, use and maintenance.

Axes, saws, hammers (?), knives, chisels, drills (?), spades...
OK, so I only recently discovered that a pointed "gravediggers spade" is the weapon of choice for stoney ground... doh!

But I do think that "sharp edges and how to look after them" sounds like a good idea. I'm sure that any subsequent discussion's conclusions could be added back to the article.
