    After watching this, I bought your honing guide. For me it was a game changer! The jig plans and the guide made simple work and I sharpened everything in my workshop. The Stanley jack plane I got from my grandfather was sharper than when I got it. It takes some getting used to, but the learning curve was enjoyable. The butter smooth surface was amazing. The only thing I will say about the best system is that it is the one you actually use! Thanks!

    Great vid as always! This past weekend I spent over an hour flattening and sharpening my Narex Richter chisel (3/4“) using a very simple method of mine where I use a rectangular granite tile clamped to my bench. I have a bunch of automotive sand papers of various grits that I stick on the tile, starting with 400 grit , all the way to 5000 grit. I stretch the sanding sheet over the tile, place a short/flat piece of wood board on the edge of the sanding sheet, and clamp it down to my bench. I do the back of the chisel, I do the bevel using my honing guide, and then I switch the sheet to a higher grit. At the end I use my leather strop. Gets razor sharp every time.

    A few years back someone did a full-on test with microphotography and measured sharpness results to show the microbevel you can put on with compound on a buffing wheel makes a super-sharp edge that lasts many times as long as conventionally sharpened ones do. I started doing it then and never looked back. I’d love to see JK-M review that.

    Cool video. Only piece of feedback is that there should be a disclaimer that this is specifically talking about single-bevel sharpening. Not all of these techniques and principles apply to double-bevel. A lot of the material is the same, but there are very minor but key differences in method for double-bevel.

    Hi Jonathan, As way of background, I have Narex chisels that came with a shipping coating on them (lacquer?). I tried alcohol to remove it, but ended up using acetone to finally get it off before my first sharpening. My question is this: the bottom edges of the sides of the chisel are sharp (can cut you when holding the blade). Is it unadvisable to knock down (desharpen) those? BTW… I am the guy that sent you the Uncopyable book (product management). Thanks for this tutorial!

  • @elmadouf
    @elmadouf 8 месяцев назад

    My 2 cent : I like to establish my bevel with a grinding wheel or a tormek. I like having a concave bevel because it takes very little work after that on the stones to get a bur a polish it since I'm only grinding the tip and the base of the bevel, there's less area to remove before getting it nice and flat.
    Great tips all and all but I felle you didn't put the emphasis enough on the flatness of the stones. I struggled so much before understanding that I needed a nice fat stone to get a nice sharp edge.

    Diamond stones to 1200 (DMT green) and a piece of scrap leather with polishing compound glued to a scrap of wood. The diamond stones are still providing flat, parallel surfaces, WITHOUT ANY FLATTENING AFTER A DECADE, the the cheap strop provides a mirror polish in 30 seconds. Window wash for diamond plate lube, wipe them off and put them away.

    I've been wanting to buy my first sharpening stone for years, but I'm always scary I won't be able to use it correctly...I'll try to use your method, I like the "no stress" approach :D Just wondering...the burr goes away stropping? I've seen people doing the bevel and then goin' again to the flat part of the chisel to take the vurr away.

    • @daveparker5569
      @daveparker5569 Год назад

      The point of stropping is to very gently grind away the burr. You only want to strop on the bevel side of the chisel.
      Stropping is essentially creating an organic micro bevel. You do not want to create a bevel on the backside of a chisel for two reasons. 1. Flat is flat and stropped is no longer flat. It is the flat backside of a chisel that keeps your cut flat and square. It guides where the chisel is going. 2. It takes an appreciable amount of work to re flatten.

    • @tommylee85

  • @robohippy
    @robohippy Год назад

    Well, I would guess that your extra find diamond plate is in the 1000 to 1200 grit range, which is fairly common. If my secondary bevel gets over 1/16 inch wide, if I skip the grits, there are obvious scratches from the extra fine stone. You can polish pretty much forever with the 60000 grit stone/paper/stropping compound, and those scratches never go away. Maybe I am too old school, but I would think that an edge that gets polished through progressive grits would cut cleaner and longer than one where you make that huge grit jump. I have done the 30 seconds to sharp that Rob does, and a similar method to what you do, but don't have the stuff to test it out thoroughly. Might be interesting. I have found that after about 16000 grit Shapton stone sharpening, there is pretty much no burr left, but I still strop. I am also preferring to strop on poplar or alder rather than leather. Kangaroo, if you can find it is maybe one of the best stropping leathers. Almost no compression.

    • @robohippy
      @robohippy Год назад +1

      I can't remember his name, but I think his channel is Face Edge Woodworking, or some thing similar. He sharpens on an old oil stone, which I think is a 400 grit stone, strops and then cuts. Seems to get nice shavings and clean cuts. So, play with it a while. If you get fine shavings and clean surfaces, then you don't need finer stones. Rex Kruger doesn't go beyond 'xtra fine' stones, which are generally 1000 grit. You do need to strop that burr off. You can get 'polishing compounds' at your local big box store. I prefer to strop on a piece of poplar or alder wood with no leather. Ask 10 of us the same question, and you will get at least 12 different answers. End result is most important. Me, I HAVE to experiment. I blame it on my dad, who was an engineer. So, I have just about everything.

    One thing about the 30 deg microbevel i cant seem to understand is: yeah, i only need to touch it up for like a few seconds to get it sharp again, but isnt the microbevel gonna move backwards everytime, thus getting wider and wider, until have to regrind basically the whole bevel back to 25 deg?

    • @katzmosestools

      Eventually you touch up your 25 degree bevel and bring it back but it takes so long you may only do it once or twice in the life of the chisel.

  • @mm9773

    This reflects my experience. First you watch dozens of videos and you fuss over which sharpening guide you should buy, then - before you’ve ever sharpened anything - you work yourself into a crisis over whether you should train yourself to do it freehand from the start, because that’s how the real nerds do it, and then you buy two diamond plates and a 12 dollar sharpening guide and you find it’s not rocket science.
    It’s still a chore, I still don’t like it and I don’t do it often enough, but I think I made it as easy for myself as possible, and that’s half the ticket.
