Why do so many people have difficulty sharpening their tools?

Pop has said time and time again: most people DO NOT have difficulty, they simply stop the process too soon and end up just short of a perfectly honed tool!"
  Take the extra minute or two to polish and you will be surprised with your 'new found skill'!
There is no secret that stropping your tools is the only way to maximize their cutting ability.  The more polished the tool edge, the easier it goes through the wood ~ plain and simple!

Cotton Buffing Wheels

COTTON buffing wheels are more economical ~ no doubt about it.  But you must be careful when using them so as not to 'round over' the edge of your tool.   Our cotton wheel, however has been stitched in 7 rows making for a harder wheel. 6" diameter and 1/2" thick with 1/2" bore.
