I'm a 75 year old hobbyist with ONE plane in my toolkit. This is going to make a huge difference to my future projects. Coronavirus is educating me no end!
I really appreciate you acknowledging the budget friendly side of sharpening! Awesome channel!
I just found an old plane in one of my sheds, so this and your other plane resto vids are incredibly helpful! Thanks, really appreciate it.
This is a great teaching video. Thank you. Currently restoring a couple of 100 year old planes. Great Education!
Just started my woodworking journey and your videos are a tremendous help. Thank you!
100 percent empathetically agreed! Thank you
Can't wait for your next video. I have been a woodworker using primarily electric tools. I have been wanting to get into old style woodworking for a couple of years. I love your videos on the care maintenance and restoration of these wonderful tools. Keep them coming!😀
You are paul sellers are the best two for explaining and making things simple to understand, thank you for your efforts.
They are greatly appreciated by us hobbyist. Keep them coming
I like your technique. It’s amazing how many approaches there are to achieving the same result. I always enjoy every video you put out.
Thank you for taking the time to share how you sharpen blades. Now I need to go do this as well!
I'm 17 years old and recently picked up a type 8 Stanley bailey no 3 hand plane and your videos on the topic have really helped me out with the restoration. I picked it up from Goodwill for 7 dollars
Excellent video! I bought an old Stanley No. 18, can’t wait to put some of these tips to use!!
Thank you for making this video!!! I have several old planes that I've bought over the years and tried to refurbish to use in my shop. It's been hit and miss getting good edge. Your video made perfect sense and i can't wait to try your technique. I'm looking forward to watching your other videos.
Great video. Super informative for newbies like myself. Thanks for taking the time to explain!
Very good summary and walk through for a difficult to sharpen tool, thanx!
Awesome video! I love that you don’t get caught up in any one school of thought (i.e. “art” of hand sharpening vs precision jigs for everything). Keep up the good work! Loving the content on this channel.
Thanks man, I really appreciate that! I hadnt really thought of that and it doesn't need to obsessed over like some people do. Its a mundane yet important part of day to day, and Im just trying to share a little of my method to get it done and get back to work. I hope that message and help is being delivered in the video haha
Third Coast Craftsman I definitely think you conveyed that very well.
Great video! Thanks for all the information and specifically the "why" behind a lot of it as well. It's one thing to know how to do it, it's another to know why it has been done that way.
Thanks Josh. I really wanted to pack as much info as I could possibly share and there are still some things I left out. Im glad it helped :)
Fantastic video! I leaned a lot as always. God has given you the gift of teaching. I am looking forward to the video on setting up a hand plane.
Great video! for stick back sand paper I'm sure someone has already said this but automotive supply stores and auto body supply stores are a great location for multiple different grits. Again great video keep up the great work!
Great video. Thanks for the sharpening tutorial. Very informative
Can’t wait to get started! Thanks
This is one of the most thorough explanation of sharpening a plane iron that I've seen. You are very good at teaching. Maybe consider doing to woodworking classes locally. I bet you'd have a lot of people over time. Anyway, love you videos. I just hit subscribe!
Very informative! Great instructional tips! Thanks!
Really thorough and helpful steps for the beginner to master the basics. Makes me feel more confident working with the tools I know less about. Great stuff!
That is so great to hear Will. Its definitely a tricky thing for beginners to both start and master. My best advice is to just do it and after a little while youll have the hang of it.
Great and informative video! Good job Chris!
I picked up a trick from a metal working buddy he said “ if you can see the metal your removing how do you know your done” he grabbed a sharpie and colored the cutting edge for his cutter. Honing his cutter bit. New to wood working. Thanks for sharing. Great information.
Great video. I am excited for the next video. It sounds like it will be another good one!
Thanks buddy. This is the best sharpening vid I've watched. I'm starting dovetails and this was really helpful..
PS. You've got your concave and convex muddled up.
I started out with those same wet stones and while they work great, it didn't take me very long to switch to diamond stones just for the ability to get sharp and get back to work quickly!
Awesome video still trying to figure out how to setup quicker. Recently bought two water stones a 8,000 & 10,000 & Veritas jigs I’m getting use to the water stones but like the idea of small circles freehand. Take care my friend.
Chris, I know this video is a little old but I just wanted to let you know that I followed your video and sharpened two of my block planes and man what a difference. I took some photos of how thin the shaving are but I can't post them to show you but, you can see through them 😲.
Keep the videos coming and can't wait to see the video on how to set them up correctly.
This was really helpful. I have a number 5 plane and picked up a couple of diamond plates but haven’t tried sharpening yet. Now I know what to do and am looking forward to your next video on setting a plane .
I am glad the video helped and hopefully the set up video is helpful too
Thanks for sharing your talents and experience. I enjoyed the video.
Thanks Jesse, I am glad you enjoyed the video :)
Thank you for your lesson. Very helpful 👍💪👊
Very helpful. Thank you for sharing.
This is a great video! Thanks.
Very nice video. You are a great teacher.
Wow, that was an AWESOME sharpening video. Thanks so much. I just subbed.
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Great explanation Chris!! Really well done, not many guys "get it", your not one of them.
Cheers
Excellent learned a lot!!!
Hey great video I love my 4000/8000 grit stone. My only thing rubbing the stones together won't that cross contaminate the Grits on the stones
Thanks for the info Chris! 👍👊
Fairly articulate presentation. Nicely done.
I love the ad for Shafton. He tested the edge with his left thumb!
Once I get to my finer stones, extra fine DMT and Spyderco ceramic, I turn the blade 90 degrees to the length of the stone. In this way I am stroking the bevel opposite, applying a little more pressure which turns a hard wire edge on the flat side of the blade. You get a good rhythm freehand and the fine polish marks will be from side to side on the bevel. After this I only lay the blade on its back and drag off a nice heavy wire burr. I get a nice wire burr 9 times out of ten that can hit the floor and still be in one piece. I used to strop but no more, I slap it back and forth across my palm several times and it’s a zero edge ready to go. I think stropping especially on A 2 blunts the fine edge.
I prefer O1 over any other steel, PMV-11 is some very nice steel and holds an edge a bit longer and sharpens well but, the majority of woodworkers don’t plane for hours at a time and O1 is a standard that’s hard to beat. I think you are well aware that a # 4or5 Stanley can be tuned up with the stock blade and do about any job you need. I have owned the LV jack, LV bevel up smoother LN 4 1/2 , LV #4 custom smoother and I have tried may more but they are too heavy and over priced compared to a tuned Stanley. The planes I rely on and enjoy the most are my 604C Stanley and two #5s set up for rough and smooth. Like we all know, there are many methods to get sharp blades, but the basic parts have to be tuned right to compliment the blade. Repetition of sharpening and understanding how the parts work together are the keys and your doing a great job of explaining. How are you liking being Self Employed so far ?
Thanks for the great feedback! sounds like you have used some really nice planes! I havent had the fortune of using a nice LN or LV plane but I also havent ever felt the need as I get the results I want from my 100 year old antiques haha. You are totally right about planes needing to be set up well to REALLY perform well and hopefully I can deliver the proper message in my next video and not offend too people haha.
Being self employed so far has been pretty stressfull and crazy. I am trying to find a good routine. I really need to get some of the cool projects I have planned done!
Great video!! Takes the intimidation out of sharpening!!
nice video! axminster in the UK sells stickback paper up to 2500 grit
Add to my favorites!
I restored a number 5 just recently so i want to see what you did different good video thanks
Thanks for this video son. It is in great detail and that is a big help to someone like me that don’t know how to sharpen a good way. I’m sure I will get my own way of doing but I still want to be doing it correctly. I will watch this again and again to try and get it down. So much to learn, so much to learn...be safe son.
haha yes there is so much to always learn but that is also one of the great things about life. Keep practicing and remember that you probably arent going to get a perfect blade the first time
Third Coast Craftsman Yes you are right about not getting the perfect blade at first but I am grateful for people like you that tell us some of the ways you have done it and if it was more trouble than you thought. If you can get the end result and can save some time then do what works for you.
Id love to see a custom sharpening station build, like a way of incorporating the stone holders, degree guide, water, and glass all into a decorative piece
Great video
This was super informative; I'm looking forward to giving it a go!
The plane setup video never came, did it?
Grerat info. Thanks
Thank you very much!
great job
Good job.
Very informative and interesting video, MVH
Hi,!
Perfect information, thanks.
Awesome!
Looking forward to the setup video
Thank you so much for this, very helpful. Just bought my first plane, and you can't cut butter with it! I cannot find the video on setting up the plane though?
Please please do the plane set up video! This was amazingly educational.
Good job bud
Who are the disgruntled three souls thumbing this down? This is an incredibly helpful video showing multiple methods of getting a blade super sharp. Good work man!
They're probably people who think (incorrectly) that you can't have a sharp edge without a secondary bevel.
great video Chris! I like the ruler trick, never knew you had to put a bevel on the backside of a blade, looks scary sharp!
you dont have to put the little back bevel on there but i definitely like it
Top video.
Hello - Love your work, your videos and I’ve built your workbench from the plans on your website. I recently purchased the honing guide to sharpen my chisels and planes but I’ve hit a snag: my Pfeil chisel is too thick for the honing guide. Do you have a suggestion for a different model, or a technique to sharpen a chisel like that?
Thanks for a great video! I learned many things from this one and I'm sure that your plane set up-video will be very useful too. Do you do similar sharpening process with chisels too, or does chisels require different tricks?
I sharpen my chisels with the same stones, but I do things a little different. Ill have to do a video on that before too long
You can get a Trend diamond plate it a 300 side and a 1000..they aren’t expensive ..they work great.. Amazon .. thanks Chris 👍😊
Love the information. Super helpful. Is the plane setup video still coming sometime?
very gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!
Chris I have the same cheap honing guide. When putting your blade in guide what’s the distance from the edge of blade to edge of guide. I saw you have some sweet stop blocks set up to make it easy.
this was a good class. would love to see the video where you shaved with a plane blade
For your float glass, look into PSA-backed lapping sheets by 3M. They come in 60 grit up to 6000.
great video. very helpful. I suck at hand planes, guess thats why I have all the robots do my work for me.
Hey Chris, great video....but I'm supper interested in how you make the background wood boards on your wall! Can you share some more pictures? That is a really cool set up!
Nice job! Where is that another video about properly adjustment? I’ve just got that 100 y plane and trying make him work ;)
Hi! I just love your videos and I was wondering because I can't seem to find the video you mention in this video about how to set up the plane blade. Is is there somewhere I missed it? :( thanks a lot!!!
Rodrigo Hinojosa
In the beginning when he mentioned it it shows up as a link in the top right hand corner
Great Stuff Sir. I may have missed it but how did you set those three ( different angle ) jig stops for setting the blade in the honing guide?
I haven't heard anyone mention it but the back of my plane blade has a 1/8" ledge right at the end of he blade. Does that need to be sanded off? It's like a reinforcement for the edge.
Did you ever get to the video about setting up the plane? I'm just getting started and it would really help
Wow. Im f.. impressed.
So many nice block planes you have back there also. Can you recommend one of them for a beginner, that does not cost a fortune? Thanks
Did you ever do the video on setting up plane blades? Couldn't see it in your videos, love your channel btw, keep up the good work.
What camera are you using? nice image quality
Hey Chris; great video! On the setting up the hand plane video are you going to cover different planes such as block, scrub and smoother?
I will talk about them a little bit for sure.
What distance is the wooden gauge set too for 25 and 30 deg bevel set to please?
awww, man!! I was hoping for the Stanley SW hat in the video!!
haha. maybe next one :)
Hi Chris greetings from Suffolk UK. Could you post a vid on chisel sharpening? or do you use the same technique?
Have you made the plane set up video yet? Been looking for it and haven't seen it.
@9:20 how do you correlate the distance you offset your blade sharping guide to the top of your blade with regards to the angle of desired blade?
There are distances marked on the side of the guide to tell you
Cool
People keep talking about "float glass". You will have to work hard to find a piece of glass that isn't float glass. It's used in your windows, doors skylights and anything else that is made of glass. It is the standard way of making glass.
I taught that, I remember watching a video on it, amazing process
Great info, how to you re-grind to 25 after so many hand sharpening sessions? Do you electric grind ? Great channel . Going through the back log. I don’t use the ruler trick because you have to continually do it .
Have been down this route.....almost exactly in your foot prints but once again I've learned something ! The feet on the bottom of the stone's boxes are to be used for holding the stone ! OH MY GOD.....do I feel an idiot or what Ha Ha. And this gives you plenty of height with which to hold your blade. Moving on !!
Your whiteboard drawing just made me realize I had been putting my blades in upside down.
The Noob Woodworker hahaha noob...
Me too lol
You're knot the only one!
Hi Third Coast Craftsman, I am restoring my dad's 2 planes he recently gave me as he is now way to old to do carpentry anymore but he taught me years ago to use a oil stone. Whats the diffs between the oil & waterstones ? Something I would want to share is the backplate (plate that supports the blade) is I keep its end surface as flat to support the whole blade area and as you did sometimes like once in many years it might need some flatting to cover the whole blade area otherwise blade damage might ensue due to no support. Thanx for a great vid
Awesome, thinks for the info.
When will you post the video on setting up hand planes?
Chris do you have any experience with Arkansas stones? I got a set( 3 stones) for christmas last year and have struggled with them . Are waterstones quicker to sharpen plane irons on?
Thank you for taking the time to make this. It's always good to see folks' sharpening procedures to pick up a valuable tip here and there. Any news on the TCC caps? I've just seen the mugs you've got up too, they look nice!
