Once you move to a slight hollow grind on a bench grinder with a white wheel, free hand sharpening and stropping becomes so simple you will wonder why you never did it before. With a slight hollow grind it is dead easy to register the chisel on your stone and a few swipes later you are back in business hair popping sharp! Same goes for your plane blades. I will never go back to using a jig again. Such a time saver...
