I haven't been building any rockets lately, but I have been turning some pens. Sharp chisels are a must, especially when turning acrylics. There are many different ways to sharpen lathe chisels, but I like the simplest methods the best. Penn State Industries has their Chisel Mate sharpening system, which I like, and it's really not very expensive. But the disc is too big for my lathe. I had a homemade disc on my old lathe, and it worked very well. But it would have been too small for my current lathe, and besides, I let it go with the old lathe when I sold it.
