    Totally impressed by how Marco takes some much time to teach this, and insists on you doing the actual work.
    The consummate teacher!

    As a guy who sharpens skates, you can now see why it takes more than 5 minutes to sharpen a pair!
    The worst customers are the ones who don't understand why they have to wait 25 minutes when there are "only" 3 pair ahead of them.
    It takes time to do a good job, I can rush yours if you want.

      The worst is when we get people who go crazy if you stone a black blade or shiny blade, no, you don’t have to use a stone, but for performance, it helps, but all it is is paint, I’m using black steel and it’s coming off just with pucks and other people skates hitting them

    • @anthonypags9945
      @anthonypags9945 5 лет назад +3

      @@goprop.o.v4495 Ummmmm no. You actually shouldn't be stoning black steel or the shiny steel. Black steel is carbon coated which means you don't need to stone it after sharpening or whenever and you shouldn't be sharpening them as much because of the carbon coat. The only reason to stone a skate is to get rid of nicks making the blade face outward. So if a black steel blade is doing that you should probably just get it sharpen again.
      I went from sharpening my skates every 5 games with black steel to every 3 with regular steel

      A Pags I’ve talked to both CCM and Bauer reps, they said that you can do either or, it’s all personal preference. I’ve tried it without stoning, and did not like it, I could care less about the coating coming off the bottom, it’s going to come off no matter what

    As someone who picks up a few shifts a week at a hockey shop, learning and becoming consistent is the hardest part of sharpening. It truly is an art, something the people who try to rush you to do their skates faster don't understand. Take your time, learn the craft, skating on your own sharpening is amazing.

      You SHOULD be hard on them for mangling your steel. This is a skater's most important device. Anyone sharpening a blade should be meticulous, whether it's their first pair or 1000th pair.

    @dfsimon 5 лет назад +4

    Good technique demo. It really does not take long to get the hang of it. However, setting up the holder and learning how to adjust it is probably the most important skill. If the blade is not centered on and perpendicular to the stone, perfectly parallel to the table, you need to adjust the holder. I have a Wissota at home. The freedom of not being at the mercy of the skate shops has been a great relief.

    Back in the 80s when I used to live in Detroit I met a guy who used to sharpen ice skates for the Detroit Red Wings he had a state-of-the-art machine in his basement and he used to sharpen skates for the team back in the day I was blown away to have such a talent sharpening my skates and let me tell you he did a fantastic job they were not over sharpened they had just the right amount of edge in my opinion it takes skill to sharpen skates properly I really enjoyed listening to this old guy of some of his stories back in the day while he's sharpen my skates perfectly

    I moved cities a while ago, and got my skates sharpened at the new rink, could never understand why my standard cut always felt rougher. than when i got them done at the old shop, found out why. the new shop certainly doesnt take this much time and care into sharpening a pair of skates, very good video, I want to learn to sharpen my own.

    I sharpened hundreds of pairs of skates at several ice rinks in the D.C. area and it is hard to find good sharpener. I used a similiar sharpener to this here, only the horizontal and cross wheel were right next to each other. One thing I learned quickly was to keep everything clean, clean, clean. Waxing the deck, keep the dust off the pad of the skate holding jig and deck, made things slide so much more easily and made the cut so smooth. Those 'protective' glass guards look like a pain in the keester, making it much harder to eyeball the edge being cut, and harder to get close to the jig and steady it by getting it closer to your body. You can see when they put the jig down, it does not slide easily. Probably too much dirt on the pad and deck, and that will eventually wear away the deck in front of the stone. And cross cutting every time you sharpen cuts down the life of expensive blades badly, and changes the arc, especially if they are figure skates that can cost several hundred dollars just for the blades. I am also a big believer in stoning the edges carefully. Thats all I have to say.

  • @TheGreatChrisB

    As a well respected skate sharpener in my area I appreciate when people notice a good sharpen. It also bugs me when people come in 3 minutes before a game expecting their skates to be ready in 30 seconds.

      Profiles are done by machines. They have to be way too millimeter perfect to be done by hand.

    • @TheGreatChrisB
      @TheGreatChrisB 5 лет назад

      Proper skate sharpening by hand is an art. Any good shop will spend at least 5 minutes per pair of skates. I often have to correct skates sharpened by people improperly trained. Almost anything can be fixed, but it's becoming a lost art. People just want automated machines that are quick.

    Alot of hockey shops do an unecessary amount of passes so that the steel wears down quicker and they can sell more blades. If you get your skates sharpened regularly 3-5 passes per skate should do.

      simeoin Leenir you really don’t need to do more than 4 max, all the cross grind does is make a new surface to sharpen, when you get new blades, you only have to do them until the whole bottom has that “cross-grind” finish
