I have a couple of them, one bigger and one smaller. I may put a foot pedal on the big one. I may even figure out how I can easily switch from foot to electric power easily. Great video

Were grindstones used for initial sharpening of forged tools? I love this video. I remember as a child looking with curiosity at my Mormon grandfather's grind stone abandoned at the back of a shed. It was quite large, about 16" x 4". The wood frame was broken and rotting away. I often wish I had saved some of these items. I also remember looking up at his spurs hanging in the mud room. How I wish I had those now!

awesome, thank you

great video I'd like to see a video on how you made your foot pedal :)

Change around every fifteen minutes or until you decide it is time to have a beer. Happy grinding!

Having a slight hop in the wheel is annoying but usable. I prefer to have grinding wheels clean straight and round. My first treadle grindstone was very out of round and had several chips in the surface. I needed to take off about a half inch off the diameter to get it concentric. With a diamond wheel on my DeWalt angle grinder I was able to true it up quickly. ruvid.net/video/treadle-grinder-part-xvi-power-dressing-the-wheel-6BtOtYTU6WA.html#

Sharpening with the wheel turning away leaves the leading edge of the blade with microscopic shards of metal sticking out (hanging burrs). You can only see them when looking under a microscope. Then when you use the knife, the microscopic shards fold back around the edge, thereby dulling the blade. The direction of the wheel is the most critical aspect of the process if you want the blade to remain sharp for a long time...

Wouldn't it be easier to water the stone from the bottom? Slide a bread pan or a window box under the stone, so that the edge of the stone is just inside the container, and then fill it with water?

Why must the wheel spin towards you with the cutting edge up, what not the opposite

The direction of the wheel is not critical. I have used wheels that move towards and away, both work just fine. I prefer the wheel going away on faster moving wheels as it is safer and less likely to damage the tool & wheel.

I was thinking the same too. As long as the stone or belt is running perpendicular to the blade edge, it's good. I still hate seeing those garbage pull through "sharpeners" all over

How the hell does one make such a stone by hand?

Okay I don't know where you got the idea that you should have the wheel turning toward you when sharpening a blade, but no. Just no. You do not _EVER_ do that with a rotary grinding wheel of any kind. You _always_ have that wheel turning _away_ from you, because if your grip is wrong or your hand slips whatever it is you're sharpening is going to come flying right at you. I cannot stress this enough, as an experienced welder and metalworker, NEVER HAVE THE GRINDING WHEEL SPINNING TOWARD YOU!

what? kzread.info/dash/bejne/ka5rtsWhfK--p9o.html found in 2 seconds of googling. To put simply, it is basically just stone carving and polishing. Once you get to the point of a workable disc shape, you can rotate and polish as necessary. Google says grindstones were typically made with sandstone but any abrasive material(i.e cement silica mixture) would do.

The stone should be in a well of water as opposed to pouring water on it. You should always grind the edge by sharpening with the cutting-edge facing downward. This old feller risks catching the edge and either damaging the blade or a nasty cut.......or both.

@TobiasDeml

That's what I thought too - this way, the grindstone can splinter pieces off the blade and hit the sharp edge frontally rather than rubbing by from the opposite direction.

Unfortunately, his claim that the blade should face into the wheel is incorrect. There is no worse way to sharpen or grind a blade than that. Always sharpen away from you, and the blade should also face away from you. You get better control, and a far better edge. He is also, not using anywhere near enough water.

@@Jam-jt3gy LOL. Sorry, but no. On a dry, slow moving wheel, you can have it turn towards you. Never on a wet wheel. The idea is that you want to "polish" the edge. With it turning towards you, you bring the worn away pieces back along the cutting edge of the blade. Effectively doing more damage. Turning away clears the debris, allowing the stone to do more work, in a shorter period of time. And the added benefit is avoiding a lap full of water.
