  When I started sharpening my own tools in the previous century it was the only way I knew of. I’ve since used oil and water stones, diamond cards, lapping compounds, fine grit sandpaper and buffing compound. I Still use oil stones out of habit and convenience. It works for me anyway.

  Very sorry the accident happened. I also bought a china miter saw similar to Makita. Although I'm a trained metal machinist and aware of the importance of workpiece clamping securely before cutting, you reminded me of the danger and yes the 45 degree opening is a danger and I have seen another KZreadr adding another piece of plywood to the fence to prevent tearout but now it is a good idea to prevent the work piece from pulling towards the gap. Very appreciative of your sharing your unfortunate accident to remind us all about the danger. Thank you and wish you a speedy recovery of your hand function. 🙏

  I almost bought a rubber mallet. What’s their best use then?

• 
  @shoptalkwithtim3 ай бұрын

  Rubber mallets are typically used as a “persuader” to bump a work piece together or apart without marring the surfaces. It’s not used for woodcarving because it absorbs the blow to the tool you’re using and it would be harder to control with the bouncing.

•

  I don’t think you could get a piece long enough to make a pipe stem out of a Tagua nut. As far as bending it probably not as it is quite hard and brittle. Maybe a pipe bowl could work out fine though not being a smoker I wouldn’t know if it is a good idea or not. Best thing is to give it a go and find out what works.

  Oil clogs up the pours in stones and over time they will not take off the metal as quickly. Dry stones are best for raising a burr, takes less time

  I have abandoned all my stones and worksharp systems for a 2x4 and sandpaper only pulling I never push into apex anymore. I finish all my blades with black compound and green on a hard leather strop. Out of all the methods I've finally found one that works awesome for scandi and convex blades . Once you find your method it feels so darn good 👍 I now have no fear about reprofiling an edge on any knife. All knife owners should learn how to sharpen .

  I’ve always been taught to pull the edge, not push. Pushing the edge also pushes the burr. Also was taught that the stone in this case, I always use sandpaper, is only used for shaping the edge. The leather actually sharpens and polishes by removing the micro serrations that the stone/sandpaper leaves on the edge. Also to use a thin piece of leather rather than thick as the thick can cause dulling due to the “cushion” of the thick leather creating rounding/roll over of the edge. Been doing it that way since I was 6 when first taught nearly 50 years ago. In the end, whatever works for an individual. This is just how I do it.

  My best advice is to practice your technique on another piece of wood of the same dimensions before attempting it on your finished piece. That way you know what works and what doesn’t and you’ll have a model to work from.

  There is a horizontal line in middle of blade shude stuck blade from this line below completely to stone?

• 
  @shoptalkwithtim7 ай бұрын

  I’m not sure if I understand your question. The knife blade should not be totally flat on the stone. When you sharpen a longer blade or a curved blade you will not be able to have the entire edge in complete contact with the stone at all times. Keep the blade moving and at the same angle throughout the process. If I were to guess at the angle on both sides probably between 12 and 15 degrees. Don’t round the edge by multiple angles or it will not cut well even though it appears to be sharp. Practice will tell you where the sweet spot is on your blade. Thicker blades will have a wider edge bevel than thinner blades will when sharpened to the same angle.

  Hi Tim, I enjoy your channel, watching from the UK, I was very sorry to learn of your accident and wish you a speedy and full physical recovery as well as from the psychological impact, which I am sure will take some time. I’m a hobby woodworker, based in the UK and I try to respect all power tools. As I start up the saw table, to slide some small piece through with push-sticks, or pull the cord to start my chainsaw to cut timber, I find myself remembering a few words from American poet, Robert Frost, “…the buzz saw snarled and rattled…Leaped out at the boy's hand, or seemed to leap- He must have given the hand…”. The poem was written in 1916 and the title is “Out, Out”, perhaps you know it? In the poem the boy dies, it’s apparently based on a real accident. It’s not a long poem but certainly a powerful one that I read at school and have never forgotten. Your videos are also a powerful reminder of just how quickly your life can change and how we should never be complacent around power tools. Thank you again for sharing your story. Chris

• 
  @shoptalkwithtim8 ай бұрын

  My favorite tool rolls are the two brown canvas ones that my sister sewed for me. She copied my first dark green one I bought from the “woodcarver’s supply” store. I couldn’t find anymore of that one type so I had them reproduced. Other ones I have are Ruffian brand which has leather edges for added protection. Those are the best made ones but they are smaller and fairly expensive. I’d recommend checking out standard wrench type tool rolls from Home Depot or online suppliers. A couple of my tool rolls are that type though if I could sew I’d probably make my own. Hope that helps and thanks for watching my videos.

  I use mostly Japanese tools and I wouldn't use anything else because of the fun, joy, and pleasure of using Japanese tools. Besides not using tools for what they were not intended for, in my opinion you have to have a respect that goes beyond just practical reasons. These tools will draw blood from you or someone else if you don't offer some respect.

  @@shoptalkwithtim thanks so much for your reply Tim. I'm not sure how much time I'll have so I don't always wait around for bargains. But I have found some bargains for sure, and even leaving aside the real bargains, I'm finding that some of the old tools routinely sell for far less than the new ones if I'm willing to do some work on them. I suspect that the number of old-timers (my age and older) who are leaving the activity and downsizing may be greater than the number of those like me who are looking for tools, so there seems to be good value in used tools from my perspective.
