Flat matt finish on chisels and blades...what 'am I doing wrong?

lundi 13 avril 2015

Hi Everyone,



I'm motivated to use more hand tools and in the process just started with my first set of water stones bought online. I have 250, 400, 800, 1000 and 3000 grit stones. I've started by flattening the backs of my cheap chisels and Stanley plane irons before daring to go onto my new set of Cherry chisels and Lie Nielsen planes. I've looked at a countless number of YouTube videos. I started with 250 grit and progressed through the other grits, but noticed that the steel went from a shinny reflective surface to a dull matt grey which I can't seem to polish out.



What 'am I doing wrong?



Thanks in advance.
