I can sharpen a knife to shaving sharp, struggle to sharpen drill bits though. It doesn’t look that difficult either, I’ll blame my eyes
it isn’t. You just need to do lots of them and it becomes second nature. My dad taught me when I was about ten (Mechanical Engineer) and when I’d got a grip of it he used to grind the ends to a flat and make me start from scratch! Must have done that hundreds of times. I’ll always thank him for that, as I say I just do them without thinking. Muscle memory I suppose. About the same time I learnt to weld as it happens.
