GGG,

Tonight at our monthly Hand Tool gathering, a splinter group of the Houston
Woodworkers Club. we hit a stone wall.  Someone wanted to know how to sharpen
Yankee drill bits.  Even Mr. Leonard Lee's fine book did not cover this.
Previous searches on the internet had found no instructions.

I volunteered to post here as certainly one of the galoots must know how to do
this.  We tried sharping tips, we tried sharpening the bit by registering on the
flute, we tried holding our tongues on both sides of our mouth, but nothing
worked (although I still think we got a bit of improvement when the tongue was
on the right side).

Any tips, references, etc greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Roy Parker
