Thank you 🙏😊 When you have some skill you don’t need a lot of gear. After getting general sharping knowledge and practice - I’ve sharpened friends dull axe 🪓 when camping 🏕️ last month with just a couple of different rough stones I’ve found on site - and finished it on a stone with a smashed coal from campfire 🔥 (kind of like 1000 grit). It was shining almost like a mirror with few imperfections🪞That was pretty satisfying 😎 Felt like 1000 b.c.

Awesome tutorial! Love those jigs. Jigs equal perfect repetition! Thanks!

Excellent, really brought that chisel back to life in no time at all. Thanks for sharing

Nice video! Great to see a good American made chisel brought back to exacting usefulness. You have a nice shop, an inspiration to see your jigs as well.

Wow, thanks for the wonderful feedback.

I bought your sharpening kit after seeing it on Stumpy Nubs' channel, had it shipped over to England. It's amazing! My chisels weren't rusty, but definitely needed sharpening. I knocked up 25 and 30 degree jigs while waiting for delivery, so straight to the shed on arrival. I started with some cheap chisels and moved on to my better ones, and it did a fantastic job. I'll keep my Veritas Mk1 for re-honing the second bevel for now, but that may end up on ebay.

what a great tutorial! really simple to understand . thank you please keep them coming

I am so excited about this. I just received my kit from you. I have already made the sharpening jig. Tomorrow I will move to step 2.

Thanks very much for a very good video. I have to admit that I was getting a bit impatient with the length of the introduction but I'm glad I waited until you got to the practicalities...so thanks again!

Agreed! I have tried various methods over the years to sharpen my chisels (including taking them to a "professional") without success. I could never get them truly sharp. As soon as I saw this video (and system), I thought, "How brilliant!" and ordered a kit immediately. I built the jig from the downloadable plans and as soon as my kit arrived, I was ready to go. I sharpened all of my chisels in short order - probably better than new. That abrasive is really something else.

You made my day with this easy and smart sharpening trick! I was thinking weeks how to sharpen my old chisels and needed also weeks to sharpen them 😕

Good stuff! When I was first buying woodworking tools I picked up a new set of Craftsman chisels. Not great, but good. A few years later they were in need of sharpening. My daughter's father-in-law was a sort of professional handyman/maintenance guy. I don't remember where he worked, but he was the one who showed up when this or that needed fixing. He took my chisels away and brought them back sharp. He hadn't asked, which I wasn't pleased about, but the real problem was that he ground both sides of the bevel. Yes, that nice sharp cutting edge is nowhere near the back surface of the chisel. He didn't understand why I was unhappy, after all they were sharp! They are still around somewhere, but I bought a set of Marple chisels, as I have no way to remove that much steel without getting them too damned hot.

Someone sent me 88 plane blades that had been dropped by the hardener and all were chipped some as deep as 1/8 inch. I re ground the primary bevel on the lot in an hour and none got hot at all. The cubitron slices through steel and does not generate much heat.

Great video, thank you, if blackish stain after soaking in vinegar is an issue hit it with high pressure water, removes immediately, must dry right away to prevent flash rusting, being a member of the pensioner brigade time is of no worry to me, I would round up all local/mates chisels, soak them for at least 24 hrs, (been using vinegar to remove rust for about 200 years 🙂, most satisfying for sure) clean and sharpen chisels on weekend afternoon then invite owners around for BBQ evening. 🙂doesn't get better than that.

Excellent video. Thank you! I can already see where I'm going to have to get this system set up, including the jigs. :). I'm going to assume you could create a plane blade sharpening jig by using a 30deg. angle on the drill press jig instead of 25. Thank you for showing the vinegar rust remover trick! What a great idea. Just a side note you can also use the vinegar soak on old sink disposers, even if you're on septic. Works a treat to rehab a maybe not well-used disposer. Us folks on septic don't use the disposers much, but they will rust up from time to time. Every so often, it's good to throw some white vinegar down the drain and let it soak a bit, then rinse with warm water. Even makes the disposer smell a bit better.

Thanks for the kind words. I approach plane blades a bit different. When using the discs for blades 2" and wider the edge produces is out a few thou which can be a problem on a smoother making 1 thou thick shaving. My hack is to grind the primary bevel at 25 degrees and then use a honing guide at 30 degrees on the 400 grit disc on the chisel back flattening plate. This produces a straight edge. I them go to the leather disc and polish. This works great.

Thank you, that's the quickest, most effective, zero bs way of sharpening chisels I've seen.

My only concern is the amount of heat generated when grinding the primary bevel. It looked awfully hot. If the steel gets hot enough to lose its hardness it will still sharpen to an extremely fine cutting edge, but that edge will quickly go dull in use.

@MikeTaylorToolworks

I notice that he touches it near the bevel with his bare fingers after grinding which leads me to believe that it is not hot enough to destroy the temper. A chisel placed on the dashboard of a car on a hot day would be much hotter than this. Yet you never see a warning come with a new chisel saying "Caution : Never leave this chisel in an enclosed vehicle on a hot sunny day. It will destroy the temper! " At least that is my take on it for what it is worth.

Ground glass, wet and dry, wire fleece, Trend diamond sharpening jig for both 25 and 30 degree bevels. Permanent marker pen on the bevels to confirm metal is ground true. Works without power tool and avoids having to build jig for sharpening. More expensive overall but repeatable results. Chisel can be honed every now and again depending on what stock you are working on. And works on block plane irons too if working across grain. Trend Mk2 kit under $100.

Like the sharpening BUT love the tip for the end grain!! Never seen that anywhere else. Cheers.

Mike, as usual, great videos, enjoy watching all of them in the innovations that you bring to The Woodworking world so well done. Good concept! Would be nice if the sharpening ramp was adjustable! Note: if you use a drill, press a lot, look at investing into a keyless Chuck. You'll love your drill press even more! First upgrade to a drill press everyone should make!

1:06 I'm listening......!

For pitting that still has the rust intact on it you might look into using electrolysis to plate that rust back onto the metal in the place it is in contact with it to minimize and repair the pitting, then do your grinding,. I use a bench sander with a good flat plate and an old belt, wet the belt to keep it cool , have water or mineral spirits handy to keep it cool, switch to a finer belt or even put an arch under the belt for a slight hollow ground which will help in hand sharpening later on. Good job with the sand paper, though.

What a brilliant video, so clear and well edited and your paring jig is very impressive

Deneb Puchalski and Paul Sellers are 2 of my favorite tool sharpeners to watch...

I always sharpen a chisel and I learned how to do that from the Woodright's Shop that used to be on PBS on Saturdays. Also, Flitz brand metal polish will remove a good amount of rust from all iron based metals as well as other metals that can be polished including silver.

I guess the five minute challenge didn't actually include the 24 hour bath? Or the time spent pulling out and mounting the wheels? Or the time to add or remove abrasives as they wear out? You be you but I'm sticking with my grinder and stones. Most of my edge tools are restorations. And I love the stones. By the way, I bought a new slow speed grinder some years ago for about $120; the rest of my tools (stones, float glass, etc) I've had for over 40 years. So amortizing the cost of equipment doesn't pencil out to very much. Thanks so much for sharing. Love your videos.

I sharpened my brother in laws chisel. Being a pro he was skeptical. I gave it to him and went indoors for a sheet of paper to show its sharpness. Before i got back he had already nearly cut his thumb off. Said it was the sharpest he has come across in 45 years. Now i just need to learn how to do it quicker

proof is in the performance 😊

Great Job My opinion tho I would dip the chisel in water to maintain the temper if it has one and go on the slowest speed

I measured the temp with a digal thermometer and the temp at the tip never got above 110 degrees. Need to exceed 600 degrees to remove temper. Thesecret is the Cubitron whick slice through steel and do not generate heat.

This is a great video, and next time I am trying to use the vinegar tip for sure. Just one of your statements in the beginning: "It might take up to thirty minutes or even half an hour". Well, IMHO any woodworker not willing to spend an hour (or two or three) restoring an old chisel is not worth it. Woodworking is not about speed, it is about quality. An old chisel is worth ten times more that most modern chisels and hence worth the time restoring. Having said that, I am a bit worried at sharpening the bevel on the drill press, it looks like the edges are getting hot. While I would follow your method, I also would spend some more time on cleaning the bevel in a slower and cooler way, maybe even thirty minutes. 😄
