I bought a soft fluffy wheel from Smoky Mountain, it's the one that Allan Goodman uses in his Carving wood spirits on a walkin stick DVD. I got me a stick of white stuff to put on this buffing wheel. You put the wheel in a forward reverse 1/4 inch electric drill, and give all your gouges micro included a little spin and you are in business, I don't even own a strop and I have sharp tools at all times. I'm a new carver and know nothing about sharpening but this works wonders for me and the whole deal was around $20,00.

I'd have to agree with Cliff, I have got a floppy and a hard wheel on a bench grinder. I purchased mine from gil drake and it works great, It just take a little practice to get it right. Its a Great system.
