Mr. Defranco, All the gear used here can be had for under $50. Otherwise, the cost for stones to do the same job is around 10 times higher. Sandpaper is an excellent approach. Basic supplies.
I would like do the same, I bought time a go some sand paper at 800 grit on amazon and took free shipping for the first buying , but now the shipping price won´t worth it and in Brasil sand paper like everything else cost gold price. by the way that´s went a nice ´n pretty job done, congrats.
I bet you wouldn’t mind if I borrowed your chisels. Lol. Yes this is how I sharpen my plane blades as well. I wouldn’t mind having the shapton stones with the flattener but sooo expensive.
Nice job on reconditioning a rusty old chisle. Wish you had demonstrated it in a freehand mode vs a jig setup to show others it can be done as well. Good job. 👍👍👍Please next time, Try without water, really not necessary. Just vac the paper clean as you go. I use a magnet to erase the paper when I see color. But you must get all gunk and oil off blade before you start the process. Use firm but light pressure and let the paper do the work not you. Go slow, feel the paper working, trying to be a human orbital sand will burn you out. This is not a fast process at first. If no magnet use vac or vinyl eraser and vac or brush off often. Keeps paper fresh and gives your had a breather. Use masking tape on edge to hold down. Use progressive grits, as shown don't move one till you get all the same grit pattern in the steel. Amazon has this from 80 to 3k grit. Dura-Gold Premium 1500 Grit Green Film PSA Longboard Sandpaper 20 Yard Long Continuous Roll, 2-3/4" Wide - Self Adhesive Sandpaper. Get a few rolls you'll be set for a long time. Also give the total times and links when you edit it helps others see the reality of the process at hand. If your tired or hatigue just stop and do anther day you'll get better results and enjoy it more! Steven Columbus Michigan
This is great approach and chisels sharpened this way are extremely sharp. I use that too, however it is extremely time consuming and costly (cost of sand paper). Lastly I tried similar approach but using rough flat metal file. I put chisel in a vice, file it nice and dead flat with rough metal file (about 5 minutes for badly chipped and dull chisel with incorrect bevel), afterwards I polish it using first coarse and than fine stone (chisel is still in the vice and I hold and move the stone over it, much like file - required time is about 2 to 3 minutes). Result is quite comparable (obviously not as shiny and definitely not recommended as a replacement for your shaving kit ;) ), but takes far less time, effort and is much cheaper (at least in the area I live).
@@frenchriversprings The first grit 60 took to long, but the rest goes fast , so what degree worked on this honing , some says the chisel has one bevel at 25 degree but should sharpening at 30 degree and that creates another bevel that´s right, what you say. Regards.
@@rodrigocozta just 30 is fine. I've seen interviews with japanese masters who say thirty is all you need. But you can do 25 with a 30 degree microbevel.
I own a sharpening business. After many years of looking for a better way, I agree with every approach shown here. Although things change when you need to do the best job ever in under a minute, these fundamentals never go away - Peter Gilbert
@@frenchriversprings When i first saw the mirror finish in the thumbnail I was amazed but had no idea what you used.... then when i saw no tools there was no other way... i bought a big tempered glass table top last year for this.. its too big though and apparently tempered glass cant be cut ...I wasnt aware of this...en tout cas merci... bien apprecié!

Awesome! I get along pretty good with Randy. Nice guy.
@@frenchriversprings second to none!!
Dude that's to much big sheets of sandpaper
My question is can't you stick the sandpaper to the glass with double sided tape? Or would it make the sandpaper surface uneven?
Yes it would make it uneven but also time consuming.

I can volunteer more chisels if you want lol! Is this your go to process for chisels and plane blades?

Does the sandpaper wear the honing guide?
No. This is a new and better honing guide but my old one does not show wear

The old scary sharp system. How much time do you spend on that one chisel?
About 2 hours

Gilbert, you did a nice job with the chisel!
Thanks. I borrowed the chisel from Randy Sauder.

Flattening a chisel takes time there isn't any way around that. Once it's flattened sharpening usually takes about a minute.
sanpaper is my guess.... on glass
and now on to the video!
Very good. Lol
