Help with first low angle block plane

If your friend lives reasonably close you can let him handle sharpening, just make sure you tag along and let him show you the ropes.

Ideally, saving up a few items to hand him is doing him a favor, but ideally you would like to sharpen them regularly so it depends on how many tools you need to sharpen, and how often.

I have a colleague who is an expert sharpener and I hand him a handful every now and then since he does a fantastic job and it doesn't take him long. I've learnt basic sharpening from him and do as much as I can on my own and when I need more than a few done in one go I hand them over to him.
