Drill sharpener

Work is so much easier when your tools are sharp. Sharp tools cut faster and cooler. The lesser effort makes it easier to be precise.

I’ve always known this, and yet, it has taken me several years to get around to installing a drill bit sharpener. I think this jig came from Lee Valley Tools, and now that it is installed, my life is already better, and not just better like finding a $20 in my pocket, but permanently better like having a tattoo removed from my forehead – a tattoo that says “I sometimes use dull drill bits.”

Oh yes, life with my new sharp drill bits will be sweet!
