Hey Matt, I've been using hand tools. Scrapers, chisels, hand planes, for a about 4 years. And I have a couple quick tips.
One, you don't have to charge your strop every time you use it. Just here and there.
Two, when you cut into your strop, fold back the flap where you cut it. And put a little drop of med, or thick, CA glue (Cyanoacrylate) and then fold the flap down and hold it with a flat screw driver. Or something other than your finger. Incase there's a little more glue then you need. That way you don't glue yourself to your strop. Lol
Thanks for another great one.
thank you
@@731Woodworks your welcome brother.
One of the first hand tools I learned to use. My dad was that “guy”. He was also a jerk and expected you to know how to do things. One of the times I saw my mom light him up was when he was laughing at a doghouse I had built. I found a bunch of old scraps and hammered them together. My dad started laughing and picking on me and my mom come flying out of the house and lit him up, one thing she said was why didn’t dog have a house to start with. Not understanding that at the time but I’d say now, he didn’t get no sugar that night. He’s gone now and I still make things so it all worked out in the end.
Sent this to you to review a few weeks ago. Changed everything for me. Glad you got around to looking at it.
The “micro bevel” isn’t about making it sharper or cut better, typically lower angles are better cutters; the point of the micro bevel is to make sharpening faster as you only have to sharpen a narrow zone rather than having to take the steal down across the whole width. I sharpen my chisels on diamond stones, just 2 grits either 400/1000 or 600/1200 I don’t recall which and a strop; I also run a diamond paste on the strop with a courser formula on the rough side and a smooth formula on the fine side of the leather. Stropping throughout your cutting will save on sharpening times, at least in my experience.
I run 3 sets of chisels and sharpen them towards their use as I’m not going to waste too much time sharpening a chisel that will only see use in cleaning up rough work. I also like a 20 degree chisel grind for some jobs as it leaves a surface planer smooth.
You have a great presentation, your enthusiasm made me want to run out to my shop and sharpen my knives, planes and chisels,,, the thing is Sunday was "Sharpening Day".
Great job brother.
Chisels and hand planners/block planners... That's what any woodworker SHOULD have in their shop.
Your channel is great, man. Clear explanations, to the point without a lot of fluff.
Thank you!
i know I am a month late but make sure to wipe the honing guides wheel off as well. You are running the wheel through the sworf(water with the sanding grit and metal shavings), so its important to wipe it down between grits as well
Great video Matt. Remember to take the chisel out of the honing guide when stopping. Also no need for the compound on the smooth side of the leather
Thanks for the info!
Great video Matt. I’ve been intimidated by chisels, you just cleared it up.
I’ve used the sandpaper from them. This method worked well for me
I received the 6 piece Narex Chisel Set as a Christmas gift last year. This sharpening system is going find it's way into my shop VERY SOON.
Hi Matt. Thanks so much for this video. I just bought this system from Mike. BTW - Tay Tools is great to work with. I'll be buying many things from them I'm sure!!
Wow that was really super sharp!!! Great info and video
Thanks!
I've been looking for a sharpening solution for a year, now. Thanks for providing the affordable, no-brainer solution, brother! 🙌✝️🙌
I've got the same sharpening system and Narex chisels and they are both great! The scary sharp system works great on plane blades as well. Keep up the great work, Matt!
That's a awesome set up. Gonna have to get me one. I've been looking around for a sharpening system. Thanks Matt for sharing. God bless you and your family.
Thank you
I just inherited a workshop of tools! Everything you can think of and more. 4 generations. There are tools I have never seen or heard about but I can’t wait to sharpen the box full of chisels. There are a couple planers too but two are missing the screw that holds them together. There was also a tin can that opened both ends with “clover compound” in it. It’s for honing, polishing, grinding, lapping, sharpening and cleaning and comes in two grits. I hope it’s still good because it cleans things up like a charm!
This kit is great for getting started. However, diamond stone + wetstones are still the better long-term economical option.
I have that scary sharp system just have to get better with sharpening. I had cheap honing guide and just couldn't get it to work so I have a higher end one to try out now. Thanks for the great video, I need to give sharpening a try again.
Wow! You weren’t kidding about that Mirror finish.
Wow, great job!! I'm going to go do some sharpening right now!
Great video, as always.
Overall I like the system you use, mainly because it works for you and it appears to work well.
It is easy to forget that that is what matters.
You "should" only sharpen on the pull stroke, but it dont really matter all that much.
My dad was a 7 year apprentice trained surgical instrument maker, and trust me he really did know how to sharpen edge tools! He could get a decent edge on a kitchen knife just by pullin it across a quarry tile!
I noticed the same thing; Jonathan Katz-Moses says you must sharpen on these "sandpaper" panels by only contacting the chisel or plane blades on the "pull toward you" stroke, rather than going back and forth. If I do it like you are doing it, Matt, will I risk wearing out the "sanding paper" faster than it otherwise would wear out?
Thanks for another awesome video Matt! I’ve been trying to restore a bench plane without much success, but I just ordered this kit to get my plane iron back in usable condition. Keep up the good work and God speed brother *virtual first bump*
Thanks for the product links. It is satisfying to have an edge that slices like a razor blade.
It really is!
Jay Bates had done a similar video some months ago. He used a different product but basically the same concept.
The point being, between these two videos, it demonstrates that you can get into sharpening for relatively little cost.
I've been hesitant to buy some decent chisels, like the Narex, or handplanes because of the perceived cost of sharpening. I figured, if I couldn't afford the sharpening system, then no sense in buying good chisels. Sure, I could buy the good chisels now, but they'd be sitting in a drawer because I wouldn't want to beat 'em up if I couldn't maintain 'em.
For the cost of the Two Cherries chisel set, you can get the 4-piece Narex set, the honing guide, the glass and lapping film, the strop and even the roll of 220 grit sandpaper. That's very doable for someone ready to take the plunge.
Thanks for the video, Matt, as well as all your other videos. You show us how this craft/hobby doesn't have to break the bank.
I will be ordering this kit. Thanks for another great video.
Nice review. I’ve been using porcelain tile 3M spray adhesive and 1000-6000 grit Emory paper for my woodcarving tools and some knives. $60 isn’t a bad price point.
I was hesitant to attempt sharpening my chisels but after watching this video. I feel this set up is beginner friendly, where I'm at. This will also contribute me investing into a block plane.
Matt, any recommendation on a block plane mainly for finishing work? (E.g. tabletop and boards that may have shifted during glue ups)
Thanks!
Great video as always! I have a similar setup using the same paper from them but I affixed them to some tiles I bought from Home Depot/Lowes, and I wrote the grits on the tiles with a sharpie for a quick reference so I don't have to memorize them or keep up with the instructions lol. 👍
Gimme my fist bump 👊🏻
👊🏻
Dang those are crazy sharp!!! Cool video Matt. Thank you for the content.
Thank you
Great video. This thumbnail is amazing btw!
Thanks!
Great video and advice man! Keep up the great work! 👊🏻
👊
Good job Matt! I keep eyeballing the Narex chisels from Taylor Toolworks, just haven't purchased them yet. I'm thinking about getting the unhandled set and turning my own handles. That scary sharp system looks like a great way to go. :)
I am highly impressed and I wish to make it, but I am living in Sydney and I can’t find the sand grip that you are working on. Could you please help me to find supplies that I can buy them?
Thank you
God bless you
Great video. I've always been intrigued by this system, but haven't bought it. The thong that bothets me about it is the constant need to buy more lapping film. And that stuff isn't cheap. My water stones wets avonevtome purchase and havevlasted me for years. But thisvsystem looks like they get thongs sharper. How long do yhe folm sheets last.
Wonder if (and how) this could be used on any gouges or other turning tools for my lathe.
Not sure about gouges.
You dont have to go all the way back to the 220 to get a micro bevel, you made a macro bevel.
I thought you were only suppose to use one direction when sharpening in the jig (usually the pull stroke) to prevent cutting through or wearing out the paper in that kit. I have the same set, and I only put pressure down on the pull stroke on the paper. I might be remembering that wrong though.
maybe. Worked for me though. I can see the reasoning behind only pulling it.
I thought the same thing but I also got frustrated and started going back and forth and have not had trouble yet.
@@731Woodworks - Fair enough! I'm certainly no expert, and I'm glad you saw that it wasn't a "challenge" to the method but a question. Appreciate that!
@@Dcreed76 I have no idea what I was doing lol. I learned along with the video lol
You are correct with one directional passes, makes paper last much longer. Videos are much better when user actually uses and researches products before giving advice.
Of the 7 grits, which one did you not use?
The highest grit, the white one
Higher grit? or lower grit? semantics!
I sharpen mine on my belt sander in about 1 minute.
Hey Matt every thing I've read and saw said you are only supposed to pull towards you when sharpening as to not cut the paper. Did you not experience that, because I actually ordered this y i was curious. P.S. I love the beard
Thanks. I didn't have any issues doing both ways. I think it's recommended to pull to prevent cutting the paper but I didn't have the issue.
@@731Woodworks sweet
This channel used to be good . Now it's just nothing but a big billboard
TIL a possible reason why I am so bad at using chisels: They were dull when I got them, and I've never sharpened them. 😂
it makes a big difference
Hmmm spend over 100$ to get all these stones and sharpeners or just use my belt sander with a 120grit?
I just want a functioning sharp chisel, it doesn’t need to be shined like a dress shoe. 😂
If you shave your head with it, that's gotta be worth at least 1000 new subscribers
Gotta lose the beard. Looking an awful lot like captain Spaulding.
I’m not sure why you feel the need to insult me or make me feel bad about growing a beard. I prayed for you this morning. I hope you have a blessed day.
Mrs. 731 (myself) absolutely LOVES his beard - it won't be shaved any time soon! Have a blessed day!!!
Guys, it was a joke. Just a joke. I've been watching your videos forever. Since way before your first big video. I always appreciated your style of helping and motivating beginners. I didn't realize a joke would hit so hard.
