Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Rob Cosman's method is very quick, easy and uses a minimum of kit. I like that he doesn't get into the tedious sharpening debate, just does his thing and proves that it works.

The few I have watched seem to be primarily about flogging stuff from his overpriced online shop.
So I also would not have the patience.

He shows good technique, but the technique can be used on any stones.
As he's working through the sharpening process in a hurry, though, anyone with experience is going to expect that if he is using a plane that did a substantial amount of work, he won't actually finish the sharpening process (you still have to remove any damage that's occurred beyond wear), and
....predictably, he splits the shaving. It physically takes about a minute to do the sharpening process and remove enough steel to ensure that you're getting out nicks that are a thousandth or so deep.
