- If you have ever felt the deep despair of realising you've dropped your fancy gouge onto the concrete floor of your workshop, you will know my pain. Because now I have to re-sharpen it... Watch as I delve into this arcane art!
So here is how, from start to finish. At least, here's MY way - there are millions of other ways lemme tell ya... Or you tell me...how do YOU do it??

interesting video, and very well put together!!
I feel your pain! I recently dropped my 4mm V-gouge point down on my concrete garage floor...unfortunately resharpening will not bring it back. But hey, misery loves company, so thanks for the camaraderie.
That’s such a great idea that jig for the different sizes of gouges and chisels when stropping. Very clever!!!❤
First few times I sharpened a gouge, it was using back & forth passes on the stone in the direction of the cut while slowly tilting the blade from corner to corner... I should've started doing the rocking lateral strokes shown in the video way sooner. Looks like it'd be way easier to keep a consistent-ish angle that way. Also, those cuts at the end, so satisfying to see those clean chips pop out like pats of warm butter!
This is very helpful! I just ordered what I thought was a nice set of tools, they all came without a sharpened edge… so I’ll be doing this for a while!
Great video on this
This was a very good video on the subject of basic gouge sharpening. I hope to see more.
Thanks for the tutorial video.
Very therapeutic;-) and I agree your heart drops when you drop one on the floor :-( but good video on bringing it back to life ;-)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice video, thank you.
Thank you Alfredo
I think that burr removal is one of the most common errors. Folks tend to treat top and bottom sides once and think it’s over.
Swearing is perfectly acceptable when one drops a carving tool blade-first on concrete. Crying is also acceptable...Just don't try to catch the tool in mid-flight. It never ends wells;
It would be nice if you listed the stones and compound you're using. Some people use affiliate links.
I was thinking "hope the steel is worth it" then at the end I saw Swiss Made 😊
Yeah, Pfeil gouges are luxurious. As for the stones, I think they're just cheap ones off of Amazon...
Nice soothing video. What is optimal angle for gouge?
Honestly I don't know, but each gouge is different. I just hone to the shape that's there
Can i use a whetstone
Sure you can, just stick with oil or water once you pick
Thanks for commenting, buddy!
Are diamond stones only meant to be used with water?
You can use water. I see people use glass cleaner and they say that works well.
@@milanroljevic9817 thank you , Milan. I’ve been using oil on a diamond sharpening. I hope I can wash off all the oil now.
What brand is this small Arkansas stone? Soft vor Hard Arkansas? Thanks.
Its a Pfeil Arkansas Stone Ark 2. Hard, I presume... Thanks for commenting mate!
