Back to absolute basics in sharpening

Think I know what you're referring to. Haven't tracked down that thread with the links yet (still looking), but was able to glean website info from the copy of the article I saved. The article is in two parts, both pretty large files (~ 15 MBytes in total), and the site itself ( http://bosq.home.xs4all.nl/ ) is in another language, perhaps Dutch(?). I used Google Translate to view the site, but the article itself is written in English. Here are links to the two parts:

Edit: Found the thread where I originally saw the linked article, posted by member 'J D Wijbenga' in posts #10 and #14 in this thread:

These are the articles, thank you much! I had it in favorites, but it may have been deleted.
Language is Belgian, I didn't mention it in the other post because I didn't feel it was necessary.

Yes, in Dutch (Belgiam is not a language, In Belgium they speak Dutch, French and a little German. :-) ). The files are available in both languages. I found them very informative.

Thank you for posting the article in the other thread, JD. It really is a gold mine of sharpening knowledge there. :thumbup:
