. Elementary course in woodwork ; designed for use in high and technical schools, with one hundred and thirty-four illustrations, by George Alexander Ross . FJ6-37 Many persons sharpen their plane-irons as indicated inFig. 38; at first thought this may appear to be right,but many mechanics of long experience sharpen theiron as indicated in Fig. 36. This method gives a. stronger edge, which is not so liable to get nicked whenthe iron strikes a knot or a hard spot in the work. Great care should be taken to avoid giving the irona rocking motion on the oil stone, as this will roundthe edge and the iron will not be any sharper than itwould be if it were in the form shown in Fig. 39. ELEMENTARY COURSE IN WOODAYORK. 35 After having whetted the bevel side of the iron suffi-ciently, turn the iron so that it will rest perfectly flat on the stone, as shown at 3, /=— j Fig. 36, and whet it in this position; this will remove thewire edge. Care should be taken to see that the ironis not raised in whetting the flat side; if raised as inFig. 40 the cutting qualities of the edge will be injured.
