In this week’s video, I’ll show you how to make a sharpening station with a water pond out of Cedar. Using dowel joinery to make the box and a plastic bin from IKEA, I build a beautiful but simple solution that will fit into any home workshop or kitchen.

Exactly what I was looking for. Simple and effective.

Hi there, I've been looking all over the web for a sharpening station tutorial and .... OH BOY your video is by far the best thing on the net. Simple, elegant , noob friendly and efficient. Thank you for sharing that !!! Cant wait to try to build it myself

[@SuperKwame1]

As always, Simple, but Very Clever designed. Thanks.

You can't go wrong with the Japanese stones, especially the KING brand. I've come up with some ideas for a sharpening station, but it never occurred to me to build a wood box around a container. Looks nice too.

[@rbm0307]

Beautiful! I built mine around the same Ikea container but used pine that I had lying around the shop for the carcass and red cedar deck planking for the stone holders.

[@melindajohnson3394]

The best station I've seen yet. WELL DONE!
Inspired to craft my own now.

[@EricSorensenCanada]

Thanks @Melinda Johnson! It is a fun project to make and super useful. Enjoy making yours 🙂

[@lastingbuild1373]

I’ve always wanted to try out wet stones. Might have to do just that! Thanks for the video.

[@EricSorensenCanada]

@LastingBuild Thanks! It's the best way to sharpen knives, chisels and plane irons. I will be putting out a sharpening video next, so you'll see how I use this station. Cheers 🙂

[@gabrieleseitz9169]

Perfectly and beautifzl done! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@davidletz9123]

Great video, Eric. Your videos are some of the best on RUclips, well produced and edited. I look forward to a video where you use the sharpening station.

[@EricSorensenCanada]

Thanks David! I will probably put out a sharpening tutorial at some point soon! Cheers 🙂

[@markbrock9020]

Nice. You've inspired me to make something similar.

[@MrGeroth]

Great and very simple design. Thanks for sharing

[@andrewcrowe6834]

Looks great

[@sailorguyli]

Great idea Thanks

[@sapelesteve]

Fantastic job Eric! Looks great & I'm sure will be extremely functional as well.............. :)

[@EricSorensenCanada]

Thanks Steve! Yes, it works great and contains the mess. Does a good job of storing the whole kit too when I'm done 🙂

[@MDFRESCUER]

Nice.

[@ThinkB4UAct]

I like the video , but can you show a link were to purchase the little hand saw you used . thanks

[@mrcmountain6342]

Nice especially the fit of the holders! How would oak instead of cedar work as materal, too much movement?

[@EricSorensenCanada]

@Mrc Mountain Thanks! I'm sure you could use white Oak instead. I chose cedar because it holds up well against moisture. You could really use any solid wood though, since the pond itself is a plastic bin.

[@lisahummel7795]

Looks awesome! I need some stones now. Where did you buy yours?

[@EricSorensenCanada]

Thanks! I bought mine on Amazon. Just do a search for "whet stones" and a bunch will come up.

[@Everfalling]

what were those two little bits of wood you had in the container?

[@EricSorensenCanada]

@Everfalling Those are shims for mounting the whetstones into the holders.
