How To Sharpen a Chisel

Frank Strazza teaches you the method he uses to get the fastest, sharpest edge on any chisel. Your mortises will cut faster and your chisels will slice through end grain like soft butter!

Great video. For beginners learning this technique I think it is important to remember to set your stones up in the same place and assume the same body position every time. By being consistent with your body position you will develop muscle memory more quickly and be less frustrated in your efforts. Another tip is to not obsess over keeping the bevel angle perfect. A slightly cambered bevel is fine and will not ruin your edge. So don't give up if you can't achieve the flat bevel Frank does, keep at it and your bevel angle will improve with practice.

Very good and well done. Builds on my knowledge. I learned more about how to hold the tool for free-hand sharpening.
