Don’t worry about something not Boeing interesting enough Keith; I am a beginning woodworker and I learn from everything. I like it that you try to keep things affordable; quality doesn’t have to be expensive!

Thanks, that was helpful. Hadn’t really thought about making little jigs for setting the angles. It’s a good idea.

You've introduced several excellent ideas I'd never considered: the angle jig and magnetic spacer for shorter chisels. A now-deceased saddle maker added this one: in her low-headroom shop she hung a roll-up style window shade just behind her grinder to confine the sharp little cinders of ground steel that bounce around the shop to work their worst mischief, scratching otherwise perfect surfaces, in some future work.

Thanks for making it. Your no nonsense approach is always appreciated

Decent little video, I’m exactly where you are at the moment ref sharpening lathe tools…..flinched when you plonked the plane down flat😉

Thanks Keith, Just what I'm looking for,

Been looking for a grinding wheel like this. Thanks Keith.

Clever and resourceful and good low cost.

Kieth that’s really good. Going for that!

That was awesome!! Thank you.

Cheers, v helpful just had my silver line bench grinder delivered and that clears up a few issues I've been having , thanks

I like the idea of this because even though I’m not the greatest when it comes to chiselling out a hinge or things along those lines but having a properly sharpened chisel helps a great deal. Great video Keith 👍🏼👍🏼

Very helpful video Keith based on setting up for woof turning!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

Really useful information and ideas, thanks for sharing

Awesome. Thanks very much for the video. It's the perfect compromise of -cost -ease of use -precision - quality of work. Love it. Keep up the good work

You are a clever lad!

Just bought my first lathe. Really useful thanks..

Really not boring at all. I have been sharpening chisels for years & that's really not a issue. Sometime this coming year I will buy a lathe & therefore sharpening becomes a different ball game. You have illustrated common sense & a practical approach so you give me food for thought going forwards about what can be done. Nice video, well presented. Thank you.

Great video thank you.

Brilliant ideas 👏👍🙏🤫

Good content, great info aimed at the smaller workshop (and I’ve got the tiniest), but I’m gonna use that knowledge for my setup, thanks

Great video thanks for sharing

Very good

Super helpful, thanks.

Hi Keith, if you haven't got one already, get yourself a dressing/re-truing tool. Grinding gouges will hollow the centre of the wheel face. A slip stone to hone the inside of the gouge can be useful. Also, as the wheel wears, you'll need to reshape your setting guides slightly to maintain repeatability.

nicely done..

good job! thanks.

Great video Iv ordered myself one of them rests now my chisels are ready for a sharpen up

Awesome..

Good work.

Thats what we need. Cheap simple and effective. Everyone has a bench grinder lol ( except me😒). I dont mean that as being disrespectful its a really good idea for us beginners to get the results of a pro. Well done Keith 👏 .

Excellent info Thanks

I must overcome my dislike of sharpening, I think i'll get better results if i do! Your video is thought provoking, instructional, and inspirational, cheers Keith.

Ha! You're a mad genius Mr. Brown 😁 good work!

Dude this was totally interesting and helpful!! Thanks for making the video!!

The blue wheel looks good was hoping to see it used more

Cool thanks

This is a great set up that you have designed and constructed. You always exhibit a great deal of creativity in your projects. I appreciate that you pay attention to limiting costs whenever possible. I believe that most have a quite finite amount of financing to devote to their woodworking hobby. Wonderful job as always. Stay safe.

A good enough set-up for very small outlay. The money should always be in the wheel.

Replace the nut and bolt with some Bristol levers. Axminster do them. You could have used the sander side and bought different grits, not sure how easy that would be on yours. If you start wood turning more often jigs are the way to go, so quick and easy, and pay back is pretty quick as you remove less steel and less chance of wrecking the gouge or worse creating a hooked edge that virtually guarantees a catch. Finally as always a really good informed video and despite the comments above a great way to get started with minimal investment

The bracket underneath the table is tapped, and I tried replacing the bolt but the thread is not the "normal" size... So without knowing the thread density and whether Bristol levers are available in that size, I'm not sure it would work unfortunately

No need to swing the gouge with that type of grind, you just need to twist it same as for a spindle roughing gouge etc. You only really need a jig to swing the chisel for grinds with swept back wings such as a fingernail or Irish grind. Might be helpful to make a block of wood with a v grove (that points towards the wheel. Then when clamped down it will allow you to twist the gouge for a perfect grind every time.

No this bowl gouge needs to pivot, it does not have a straight end

@AndyJenkins999

4 жыл бұрын

Rag 'n' Bone Brown if the angle of the bevel is the same all the way round then it only needs to twist. If not then yes it would need to pivot. Have a look at the v groove attachment for the Sorby pro edge, this allows a continuous angle grind. I have used this attachment and previously home made versions for quite a few gouges with a standard 45 degree grind. Good video cheers.

With that grind, you should keep the bowl gouge straight in line with the wheel and just roll it. There is actually very recent couple of videos on the Record Power channel that have sharpening tips for various gouges that are worth a watch.

@RagnBoneBrown

I don't think that's correct for the bowl gouge. The roughing gouge you can keep straight, maybe that's what you mean? The bowl gouge needs to be pivoted, I'm just replicating the grind that is already on the tool

@OldManTony

4 жыл бұрын

Rag 'n' Bone Brown People put all sorts of grinds on bowl gouges. Your bowl gouge looked like a standard grind, the deeper flute of the bowl gouge does make the grind profile look different from a roughing gouge, even though it isn’t. You need to try the marker pen trick to ensure you have the right angle.

This set up is working as I want it to. I did explain in the video that this was "on a budget", I could never spend that kind of money on a sharpening set up

Seems like the price has gone through the roof, £50+ now for the blue ceramic stones.

Thanks for sharing this video! One suggestion for bowl gouges: consider a diamond hone card for touch ups between grinding. I watched a video by turner Gord Rock who demonstrated this

Thanks for a great video, Keith! I am looking forward to seeing how you feel about this setup after some use. It is good to know that there are jigs available without donating your kidney. I think I will go for a similar solution as you, but with the jig for the roughing gouge.

@RagnBoneBrown

Cheers. I used it quite a lot yesterday as spent most of the day turning. It worked out great and I'm getting better at sharpening the gouge already. I get a really nice grind on the right hand side, it's just the pivoting and twisting to the left that I struggle with a bit! Works well but I do wish I could have found a higher grit stone. But it's sharp enough

I hope my honing guide will be easy ( i dont think so ) as your jigs with the bevels . Nightmares will begin when it will arrives . I have orderd veritas II .

Nice practical set-up. The CBN wheel seems to do a good job. Maybe you could fit a knob to that bolt instead of having to use a spanner to adjust the angle?

My brief research found that CBN wheels also need quite a powerful grinder (450W+) and ideally a slow speed as well (~1500 vs. regular ~3000 rpm).

I'm in the same boat...got a good lathe cheap, with some Marples chisels, but farmer Brown got his goat to sharpen them with an angle grinder... Australian wood is very hard on the tools, and after looking into sharpening jigs/stones...and being a metal fab engineer...i knew there had to be an easy option, but yes the reduction of the radius on the wheel and the angle of the tool will change, but i feel comforted by your " angle is close enough".... height of the tool rest/angle of the chisel/how much i care...etc, etc...some videos make it seem so imperative, you may as well use a metal lathe

You could replace the bolt underneath the table with a Bristol lever that's what I did with mine. As to the t screw on the side make your own knobs John Heisz has a video on that. Always interesting to see how someone else approaches problems so not boring or wasted.

Love the video, did you consider using the belt part of your grinder for the sharpening system, belts are cheap and lots of grit available? I'm going to be in the same situation soon...

Clever. Thank you. I needed it.

Great video Keith, I wondered whether you could route out the radius of your gauge with a core box bit and line it out with some 120 scratch and take some of the uneven Ness out on the grind,I don't think the channel would need to be perfect,Just a thought anyway carry on the goodwork

and now you make me feel like a fool for spending money on a Tormek. Agree with the setup time, having something super fast is very important, jigs and fixtures are great, but they do have setup time.

Tormeks are awesome, you can get a perfectly sharp edge on them

The Robert Sorby pro edge sharpening setup is close to $1000 here in Aus

Nice that you can use a 6 inch grinder. Most of the local experts say 8 inch in minimum.

80 grit is plenty high for sharpening woodturning tools- I've got a 46 grit wheel for shaping new tools and an 80 grit for sharpening. Take a look at Cindy Drozda's 40-40 grind video, it goes over the bowl gouge sharpening technique you are using.

Nice! I can’t seem to find that exact green tool rest. Link for it?

Very beautiful project!! Love the way you tackles the problems you are very resourceful!!

Great video, great tool shooting jig and adaption ideas. Did you have any issues with ‘blueing the steel ‘ ie excessive frictional heat modifying the microstructure of the steel cutting edge, excessive heat can soften the steel blade. Hence, round water cooled sharpening stones powered by hand ,or low speed drive belts eg torment. I was told these type of grinders are too fast for tool sharpening ?

Very useful vid - do you have a current link for the grinding guide ? it looks simple and good

Well it's been a year since you've been freehand sharpening. Does practice make perfect?

do you think that carbide bits are better than chisels?

Making a jig for your bowl gouge is pretty easy. Marius Hornberger have a design that is easy to make: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pZqhq9hpmbvQmdY.html And if you only have one bowl gouge to use it on, then setup time is really quick. A stop for the stick out and a line on the stick for the pivot point, and you are done. Sure learning to do it by hand is cool and all, but a consistent finish is much more preferable. In my opinion at least. It's still nice to see your continuing progress in your shop.

lets be honest setting up the tool rest rest is a pain, loosen the table, roughly set it, check for contact, give the table a tap, check again, "frustrating", although not available now, robo hippy made an adjustable tool rest, pre set angles, seconds to change angle. repeatability every time. Mike Waldt has done a video on it. surely someone is capable of manufacturing a similiar tool rest, and get us out of the dark ages
