      While searching for various types of these guides I ran across this site that has several different ones. While they are a bit more than $12, they are not outrageously priced either. They also look good, which is always a consideration right? :)

    A trick I was taught to keep your file from loading up during use is to use common
    playground chalk. Rub this chalk into the file grooves or teeth before use. You will find that
    the metal being worked will not load up your file as easily. It also makes cleaning your file
    with the file card much more efficient as well.

As you say ' it gave me the fizz' using properly sharpened chisels. I am now going to try timber framing a log store. A big thank you.

  • @PaPaChillJay

    I've noticed while working with soft woods like pine having a softer angle around 20 degrees resulted in less tearout and a cleaner cut as opposed to most of the chisels I have at sharpened to around 25-30 degree. I've dedicated a few chisels in my shop just for softer woods.

  • @gerhardtaxthelm6581
    @gerhardtaxthelm6581 7 лет назад

    Works perfect for me now for over 30 years! For ease of use start with 25 degree setting with course stone and initial setting. Then change to 30 degree setting for final sharpening at finer grit of the cutting edge. The last setting needs to be only honed for a width of 1/16", making this fast work!!!
    My father was a tool and die maker and started me sharpening knives at an age of only 12. Now at 64 I appreciate it more than ever! I wish I had his skill set as he was really one of a kind, I have a few memories of his where he showed his amazing skill and magic at work and home. Thanks for having me remember.

    I agree with you nice video. Some people are just stuck on the idea that buying the most expensive tool makes you a better woodworker. In my younger days as a contractor I always spent way too much on tools, and now I buy middle of the road tools and if they need adjustments no big deal and I do not see any decline in the quality of work I produce.

    • @YouWereDropped
      @YouWereDropped 7 лет назад +2

      If you want to get into which system's origin makes more sense, the truth is that any system of measurement you can think of is arbitrary by definition. Once you get beyond the atomic level the world doesn't follow any natural system of measurement, so humans have to make up a standard and work from there.
      The point people are making is that while both are arbitrary, using the metric system is easier because it is base 10. Think of this scenario: You want to make a saw holder like the one in Cody's shop, and you need to saw the slots equal distance from each other. That is distance works out to be 2 9/16" or about 6.5 centimeters over a 4 foot board (122 cm). With imperial you would mark out 2 9/16, 5 4/16, 7 13/16, 10 6/16 and so on until 48', making sure that you aren't missing a fraction along the way. With metric you take a tape measure and mark 6.5, 13, 19.5, 26, 32.5 and every 6.5 cm after until 122 cm.

    I don't know if you read old posts but "Thank you." I purchased one of those honing guides over thirty years ago. I lived in the city but knew that one day I'd be taking up woodworking as a hobby when I got myself a house and a shed. Now thirty years later I've done that. However buying up equipment when it was small and cheap has a downside. I lost the packaging it came with , so when I used the blasted thing it didn't sharpen my chisels. It took your site to show this fool that the instructions for use are on the side. I now have chisels so sharp I could perform surgery with them. Once agin a Big Thanks and keep up the vids. I thoroughly enjoy this site.

  • @wdbrnr63
    @wdbrnr63 7 лет назад +6

    Your gauge length for a given angle is going to vary based on the blade thickness. The jig indexes to the bevel side of the blade, so the protruding length of a 3/8" thick framing chisel at 30º is going to be longer than the protrusion of an 1/8" thick plane blade at the same angle. If you want the exact angle, your best bet is to use your protractor to set the angle and then measure the protrusion for each different thickness of blade.

    • @wranglerstar
      @wranglerstar  7 лет назад +4

      Stop blinding me with science,

    • @wdbrnr63
      @wdbrnr63 7 лет назад

      This is only true for the wide jaws, since the narrow jaws index to the flat side of the blade.

    • @wdbrnr63
      @wdbrnr63 7 лет назад

      Lol. You'll see it if you set up the big framing chisel with the gauge and then measure the angle, and the repeat the procedure with a plane blade. It probably wouldn't be enough for most people to really notice between two slightly different plane blade thickness, hence the reference on the casting.

    • @wranglerstar
      @wranglerstar  7 лет назад +1

      Yes I agree, once the angle is determined on each tool everything will be good,

    • @turnersparadise8368
      @turnersparadise8368 7 лет назад +5

      The thing is the exact angle is meaningless. It could be 28 or 32, it matters not. The point is the tool gets sharpened with that same angle every time.

  • @ka9dgx
    @ka9dgx 7 лет назад +4

    I think you're going to get different angles because you're not taking into account the thickness of the blades. The angle is determined by the distance from the end of the guide to the start of contact with the stone, not the far pointy end.
    You will get consistency with a given tool, using your method, but not the exact angle.

    • @turnersparadise8368
      @turnersparadise8368 7 лет назад +1

      Exact angle doesn't matter. At best it will be a couple degrees off, which is close enough. As you say, the key is consistency not only every time you sharpen, but with every stroke.

    • @1lupus
      @1lupus 7 лет назад

      Technically you are correct, but given the thickness of the chisel blade it doesn't seem to make any real difference between all the sizes I use. I have used on for 40 years and it is a great tool. Out of curiosity the next time I use it, I am going to measure the resulting angles with my angle tester to see if it has changed over time and the difference I get between my different sized chisels. The digital angle measure is quite accurate and it will be interesting to see the results.

    • @CricketyChris
      @CricketyChris 7 лет назад

      Mike Warot i dont understand you logic??? wouldn't the angle be the same regardless of blade thickness. you are taking measurements from the long side of the tool to be sharpened making a triangle in the process. the only way I can think of to change the angle of that triangle is to langthen (or shorten) one of the sides. would you please explain why the thickness of the tool would matter?

    • @CricketyChris
      @CricketyChris 7 лет назад

      Art Heen thank you! Brain wasn't grasping that at first. So does that mean you should measure from the rear of the bevel to the jig for proper angle? Seems like using an angle finder to set position would be easier and probably closer to exact than using length of the blade???

    • @adamtoth7474

    So you're using a rule that probably costs three times more than the honing guide in order to save a 32th. As an engineer in the USA, I share your disdain for the metric system. But if you are creating a repeatable system, just call it 2in. No engineer worth their stamp would waste their time with this.

      In the carpenter world I was in we called 1/32” short dead on, of course most of my experience was in metal studs and drywall so within a 1/4” was good ‘nuff

      @Thomas Russell - the switch failed because the intro was all wrong. In grade school they just gave use math to figure it out, no comparative things like two-sided rulers, or any other visual or tactile aid to comprehension. It's almost like the intro was deliberately sabotaged. Now we have a normal mish-mash. Plenty of units are metric, where manufacturers could pull one over, they switched to metric. Like beverages. used to be a fifth of a gallon for booze, now it's .75 liters - a smaller amount but same price, as just one example. Bottled soda pop is metric, fountain in ounces. automobile fasteners are (mostly) metric now, but heavy vehicles (trucks, busses) are still (mostly) SAE.. etc. etc.

    I tell you the truth brother, you touched on so many valid points in this video. Consistency and performance are key, you apparently had both by your hand method.

Always get to watch a touch of Quality and I get the Quantity by applying what you teach. This is such a great channel on RUclips. I am so blessed to watch all of your video creations that take so much work and if you EVER go somewhere else I will follow along... no matter the cost or effort !!!!!!!!!!!

  • @thebeardedone1225
    @thebeardedone1225 5 лет назад +2

    As a sixty year old wood worker, I personally like mine at 26.5 degrees. But whatever you prefer, it is certainly important to maintain that angle consistently. A simple block of wood cut at whatever angle you like, is my personal way of doing it. The only thing wrong with store bought jigs, is when you need them, they never seem to be where you put them last. lol

  • @WayneTheSeine
    @WayneTheSeine 7 лет назад

    Fantastic instruction. I was fixing to pull the trigger on one of these but see quite a few bad reviews about quality etc. You make things quite clear. BTW ...I would have ignorantly filed the convex on the one side totally flat, thinking it was a defect. The three point explanation makes sense. Thanks again. ...I will hit the Amazon link now :)

    @dremelts 7 лет назад

    Cody, thanks for putting this video up. I actually saw the same thing on the FineWoodworking channel several months ago but it bears repeating. I purchased one of these jigs and made the recommended modifications to it and it works very well. However, the chisels that I have (cheap Harbor Freight ones that I bought before I saw your recommendation for the Irwin/Marples) have a very wide flat on the sides that in no way will fit the narrow V groove in the jig. In fact, the 1/4" chisel basically has a square cross section. Anyway, I had to hog out quite a lot of material in order to use the jig with these chisels but it does the job now.

  • @jamesmiddleton6464
    @jamesmiddleton6464 7 лет назад

My chisels and I thank you for sharing.

  • @Mbuna420
    @Mbuna420 7 лет назад +1

    When you first made the block for the stones I thought to myself the water will distort the wood over time eventually and I noticed the wobble just before you said something lol...Then I had another thought what if you re-cut the block but did it out of a piece of that white plastic you have then it would last 100 years!!...And I want to say what a score that plastic was my dad had a small score of it when I was younger and nothing has ever made a better fish tank top good stuff!!! Keep up the good vids man been watching you forever maybe someday we can have a conversation in person man I would love to pick your brain as my dad would say.

    I learned in one of my university courses about how aluminum tends to load files. If you rub the file with chalk before using it on the aluminum, it will not load. It should help keep your files in good shape since they're no longer made.

  • @kennethspeed2019
    @kennethspeed2019 7 лет назад +1

    An advantage of that sharpening guide that you may have not discovered yet is that the center wheel allows you to tilt the plane iron so that you can get a slightly curved edge rather than a perfectly straight one.

  • @williamfreeh9598

  • @TheFalconJetDriver

    I guess I got lucky I bought two Nichols files from my local hardware store two weeks ago.
    It is nice to see that you use a file correctly, I just saw a another video where a guy effectively did what you did with removing the high spots.
    However he used the file like it was a hand saw. I had to stop watching the video it was too painful to watch,and thought if he does not know how to use a simple file what else is he trying to teach me that is incorrect?
    Thank you for producing this video I bought a set of chisels and a honing guild like yours after a little fine tuning with a file and sharpening a few of the chisels I am pleased with the edge on the chisels now. Your video showed me how to set up the projection. That information was not included with the guide.
