Sorry Muleski. Bad choice of words. Sometimes though, when some post citing WC tech preferences comes off as a self-validation rather than being a pertinent fact. And, FWIW, I know plenty of high level craftsman that would roll their eyes at any inference that WC techs were the 'discoverers' of how to keep a tool sharp and true.
Whatever.
My favorite WC tech tip is when in a hurry and a base tool was forgotten, a hotel key has been used to set the base bevel.
And hey this is a 'World Cup' scraper sharpener, BTW:
....and all of us are dumb asses and will burn in hell if we do not purchase one of these to keep or plastic scrapers sharp:
A-man, a woodworkers bench vise works well for holding a file, sandpaper or drywall screen an a wood block and helping you maintain a 90° like a table saw fence. Router tables work well, too.
