The Shelter Sharpening Kit is the sharpening setup our timber framing crew uses, for flat edges on plane irons, chisels and slicks.

We use this kit in our Purely Post & Beam Online Course, and we teach it in our in-person courses.

It comes with a 10 x 3 x 1/4 in piece of float glass, self-adhesive sandpaper in 180 and 320 grit, a Veritas Mk.II honing guide and a leather strop. Stick the sandpaper to the glass, set the bevel angle in the honing guide, work through the grits, and finish on the strop.

The sandpaper is Norton Gold Reserve, and the honing guide takes blades 1/2 to 2-7/8 in wide and up to 15/32 in thick. Call us at (207) 442-7938 for replacement parts.
