I used to use sandpaper.... but on amazon Schaaf tools now sells a diamond stone with the holder . With 400 grit on one side and one thousand grit on the other , i sharpen all my chisels and gouges knives planes router bits ect wect and the total cost is like $50. Im saving money, with less mess, and a lot less time. After they are sharp as long as you dont knick them up, all you have to do to keep them razor sharp is a couple of seconds on a strop with green compound, and i can keep carving all day long.

Finally!! It's really hard to find this information...thanks!😘

Thanks for this video, I’ve just ordered some sheets of sharpening papers from that website. You were right, I had to show some restraint, they sell some cool stuff.

My pleasure! Hope it’s a much quicker process now!

As a novice self-taught woodworker, I've been at the mercy of the wide variety of techniques and tools presented to us by the American woodworkers (I really need some type of pointy stick to poke them since I do so much of it) and I've gone through a couple of different stages of using oil stones, automotive sandpaper and even the diamond card. I settled on a set of cheap diamond cards that range from 400 grit to 1200 grit bonded to some old scrap of kitchen cupboard. Can pick up the "diamond plates" for £18 and can say that they do a fairly good job for the price. I am still sharpening my honing ability or honing my sharpening ability (puns intended) and I never really understood the job of the secondary bevel. Most on YT seem to just ignore the simple explanation but you hit the nail on the head I was able to complete the mental dot-to-dot because of your simple, no fuss explanation. Can't say I've tried lapping film but will definitely keep that in my "toolbox". Excellent stuff!

@@fdort3971 not as such, any flat chisel will do the same job, just thinner or wider. Curved chisels or gouges will help to cut across the grain. A plane with do exactly the same thing as a chisel, just with more precision to cut thinner strips

Looks like it all makes sense!

Brilliant and informative video, thank you. One question. What are the lengths that you are setting on your wooden block to achieve your angles? Or is there a means of calculating this?

Hi Chris. I'm a bookbinder and have always had problems sharpening my various blades so, thanks very much for this info. I'm ordering the various sheets and would like one of the little gizmos you show near the beginning to hold the blades at the correct angle but not sure what they are called. Can you help please? From Yorkshire!!

Hi Ruth, glad I could help. What you’re looking for is a ‘Honing Guide’. This is the one I use regularly amzn.to/3QTdPRJ 👍

How often do you find you have to sharpen a blade, for a chisel or a plane on a hand tool guitar build for example would it get you through one build, less or more? I know it's probably how long is a piece of string kind of answer but how often are you sharpening do you reckon?

I tend to sharpen my main blade when I first get in the workshop that day. It will last for most of the day. If your none stop with it, maybe another go

Have you done the curved gouge sharpening video yet Chris? I could really use the help to get started with carving. Ta.

HodgePodge WoodWorks it’s great stuff. Just make sure you pull the blade across so not to dig in.
