Re: New Sharpening Templates 105, 110, 120

With Steve's templates you make flats out of regular 'square' gravers, thining them down from the sides until you reach the width you want. One I did for inlay I used my wire size guage to get to the right width.
It's definitely a bit tedious, but nicely flexible. I'd recommend making your first flat pretty wide, BTW, just to get a feel for doing it. If you later decide you don't need one that wide you can always make it thinner later.
And as I said, the wide end of the small template goes up, just in case I'm not the only one who makes that mistake the first time. :doh:
