Pokud se chcete stát lepším truhlářem, musíte se naučit brousit. Pokud se chcete stát lepším brusičem, musíte přestat klást takový důraz na terciární úkosy a karbidové útvary v oceli a začít věnovat pozornost dřevu. Pokud je dřevo čistě naostřené, pak jsou vaše nástroje dostatečně ostré. Pokud je dřevo vytrhané a pokryté drobnými škrábanci, musíte své nástroje nabrousit.

»Sharpen This« is a 120-page pocket book on how to get great edges, regardless of the sharpening system you choose. It is about what is important: creating a sharp edge quickly with a minimum amount of equipment. It is not a book about becoming a sharpening expert. It is instead about becoming an expert at sharpening. It helps you decode the confusing world of sharpening media. And, most importantly, it helps you get back to work at the bench as quickly as possible. Because the process of making tools dull is far more enjoyable than making tools sharp.

»Sharpen This« is an attempt to help woodworkers stay grounded. To think about want you want to leave behind when you're gone. Is it a chest filled with immaculately cared for tools and a few nice pieces of furniture? Or do you want to leave behind hundreds of pieces of furniture that demonstrate that you developed your ability to harness beauty and bring it into this world? (Plus, a chest of tools that are in serviceable shape.)
