I'm really pleased with this! It works like a charm kzread.infoUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ Takes less time than my old electric sharpener because it can take more off the knife faster, and then it smooths out nicely with the finer grit polisher. I don't know how long it will last before the grit wears away, but I wouldn't mind having to replace it every once in a while.

Great tutorial. Thanks, John. Well done.

Bravo - very clear.

Great video!

Thank you

That’s great 😃 ! Now which brand chisel should I get?🤔

Very useful for a new guy like me. Could you share the model of jig you mention that came from Lee Valley Tools? Many thanks.

@@Wood Very expensive for somethig which roll on stone surface. It will be permanently grinded

I have a 'coticule', also known as a 'Belgian block', a natural stone, quarried in the Ardennes near the city of Liege. I inherited this stone from my granddad. The coticule quarry has been reopened for commercial exploitation a couple of years ago, after it had been out of production for decades. The grid is 4000-6000; it is a water stone. The water stays on the surface, so the stone does not need to be soaked, just spray water on top of it. The metal and stone particles make a fine slurry that can polish to a mirror shine. Nowadays a coticule is rather expensive, depending its size it can cost a couple of hundreds. Each time I sharpen my tools I remember my granddad and I thank him for this wonderful gift.

Great video. I still use sandpaper on the final stage but use diamonds for all stages prior the the final honing. Want a Shapton ceramic or glass stone in the 6 to 8 thousand grit for my final honing stage. Hate keeping a tub of water for the stones to soak in.

@nelunicoara4483

with 8 thousand grit you should obtain a REAL MIRROR surface.

What is the 6000 ceramic stone called? Is that Shapton Glass 6000 grit?

Thoughts on a water wheel grinder, to keep heat down?

Surprised that you didn’t overheat the blade on the grinder 🙀, I didn’t see you dipping the chisel in water.

It it just me or does he completely skip over removing the burr?

@nelunicoara4483

3 жыл бұрын

it is just you. It should not has burr if you work corectly.

Great recommendations, and really nicely done video. I have one question. Why do you bother getting the entire back flat, and not just the last 1/8” or so? I typically just elevate the handle end of the chisel blade by about 0.125mm or so (e.g. on a small metal ruler under that end of the blade surface), to get the chisel up at about 1/15th of a degree or so. That allows just the last 1/8” or so to quickly become a flattened cutting surface. It takes about 1 minute with a new or poorly maintained blade, verses maybe 15 minutes the other way. I know that many of the better Scandinavian, Japanese, British and some other chisels have a concave back to reduce the amount of metal you have to remove, just for this exact purpose. I used to do it the way you showed, until I got my first white hardened Japanese chisel. About an hour into still trying to work the back flat, I thought that there must be abetter way. It was at that point I started working on just the last bit of blades, about 35 years ago, which then became part of my sharpening workflow that allows me quickly keep my blades sharp at all times.

You can't use the ruler trick on chisels. Well, you can, but you screw up registration. You're only supposed to use the ruler trick on plane irons. I don't even use it there.

If it stayed cool enough to hold in your bare hand, it didn't get hot enough to lose it's temper

Surprised you didn't strop the plane iron before using it. There is still a micro burr from the 6000 grit stone, and it needs to be removed.

I know there's more to it then that to end up with a sharp tool. You never removed the wire edge from the iron, after you sharpened the bevel.

Step 1 to sharpen a chisel spend $500

Is it me or is the exposure of this video too dark?

What a complete chopper

Wrong work. You must slide on entire surface of the stone to keep in time its shape.

Once he said bench grinder I stopped the video. No need to go any further. No way I'm grinding my chisels. I don't care what kind of grinding stone you're using.

Shite

Boy you have youre grits all over the place. And youre information on diamond stones are incorrect
