Sharpening!
"Honing a Skew Blade with a Veritas Jig" Where to begin? Such a delicious string of words, ending with two you would ordinarily never think of pairing. I would tell you what it all means except that I don't understand the explanation. "Side rabbet planes" are alluded to. Grit stones and vices are thrown in, I know those words but how does it all fit?! Aaaah! Fortunately I don't have to sharpen anything. And if you do, we have many fine books on the subject.

Go your way, and save your pity;
She is happy, for she knows
That her dust is very pretty.
