So I foolishly paid the asking price. Three Marples incannel gouges laying on
the blanket, 14 - 15 inches long. One is pretty rusty but who knows what lies
under? I see chips on one edge and of course all are dull. Was it worth my three
dollars, total?

Turns out one is pitted to a degree that it will not be useful unless I grind it
back about an inch. The big one just needs a good honing. My question is about
the one w/ the chips. It had to be ground back about 1/16” to get past them.
It’s about 1/2” across and a pretty tight radius. How would you go about
regrinding it?

I have grinders, a drill press, a lathe and a bunch of slips. The slips are not
going to take this down in my lifetime. They are for honing. I have used
compounds round sticks in the four jaw chuck of the lathe, but again only for
honing. None of my sanding drums for the drill press are small enough altho I
can probably find some on-line. Any better ideas?
