Has anybody used the "Scary Sharp" sharpening system with float glass and 3M lapping film? It's a cheap system and looks to be more than capable of producing what it claims (scary sharp knives and chisels). I've struggled for years getting my less than high quality chisels really sharp and I've finally come to the realization that until I get good enough tools and learn how to keep them sharp that I'll struggle to build quality muzzleloaders.
The plan at this point is either to get Stanley Sweetheart chisels and possibly Schaaf gouges and parting tools, plus a decent micro set of chisels, gouges and V-tools (if I want to stay on the low end and save money) or to go full-hog and get a good set of Pfeil tools. I'm convinced that I can keep the straight chisels sharp now between my stones and this scary sharp system, but I still have to learn to sharpen the gouges and V-tools. I've even considered getting a good Rikon grinder with CBN wheels if anyone has an opinion about that system.
