    Great video for inexpensive sharpening! I've used sand paper for a long time for sharpening and it works very well. A while back I bought some self adhering wet/dry sand paper sheets and they're also excellent for making boards like this. I have no idea how much they cost, but they definitely weren't expensive. I mounted mine on a thick piece of glass from an old coffee/side table I found on Facebook Marketplace for free. This glass won't bend or warp, so it's great for anything you want or need to remain perfectly flat. I hope someone finds these little tips useful!

      Did you cut the glass? If so, how did you cut it?

    I am hoping that you can tell me what hook knife you use. It was in one of your videos. It has a # 7 on it.

      OCC was bought out by kryshak carving tools, so the places I bought them may not have any during this transition.

    How long does the sandpaper last?

    • @CarvingisFun
      @CarvingisFun  Месяц назад +1

      If you use a lubricant (in my case, just water) it can last several months to a year depending on use. I don't think I changed mine for over 6 months.

      @teodorowicz I find it to be easy enough to be removed. I have also been super lazy in the past and glued another right on top.
