Building A Knife Sharpening Jig (DIY)

[@SurvivalLilly]

Thanks for watching this video. You will find the sharpening stones and my knives here: www.survivallilly.at/

[@sebastienraymond3648]

Would you be kind enough to share the blueprint? Have a great day and take care.

[@MoMo-is4ct]

Where did you get your work table from ??

[@juno1210]

When will your knives be back in stock I want to buy a few for my kids and i

[@ambushguy7906]

I used to use stone as a knife. A use and throw stuff.

[@trapperearl]

A couple of points to help you. I make knives and have a jig close to yours. First, use a marker on the edge to see where the high and low spots are for a 100% uniform edge. Second, get a good leather strap to strop the edge after sharpening. It will remove the micro burrs from the edge. Third, get you an assortment of chain saw files from 1/32 to 1/4 and make a second arm for the jig to hold the files to sharpen the serrated edges. Just keep in mind that the serrated blade edge is shaped on a slighter angle than the regular blade. Only a couple of degrees difference between the two but it is a difference. Other than those notes you are an inspiration to all outdoors people. I love watching your videos.

[@fishoff4283]

Use a permanent marker on the edge before using the stones. It will show you where you have removed material and where you need more work. You can wipe it off with isopropyl alcohol

Hoch beeindruckendes Resultat liebe Lilly! SUPER gebaut! Beste Grüße, Sepp

Another great project, Lilly. I have been wondering about something like this for a while, and here you are with one! You have lovely hair ... please tie it back when using tools.

[@mage8838]

I would like to see a shop tour. Yours looks compact and we'll equipped.

[@behradbehrady2385]

Very nice jig and build. Love the clean and tidy workshop. May I suggest a band saw to make you more efficient. Greetings from Sydney Australia.

[@kele1264]

Very clever, very nice! You do fine, beautiful work Lilly! I wish I could have watched your videos with my father before he died. I think he would have liked them very much. He was very clever and inventive also. We could have done these projects together. Thank you.

[@Urmel1401]

Nice, a woman with craftsmanship👍👍

[@tonysshadow]

The best part of cooking shows with fancy chefs......sometimes they will show them sharpening knives. swish swish swish swish done!.....skills.

[@joejust9269]

Nice job I need to make one. I find knife sharpening very relaxing. This jig makes it easy for anyone to sharpen perfectly. Thank you🙂🇺🇸 stay healthy!

[@allthingselderly]

Hi Lilly. You did a remarkable job in this video. A lot of work no doubt. Thanks for the video. Nice workshop too. It is very important to keep all our survival knives sharp and ready. Thanks a lot.

[@2shots.]

Just a suggestion. Towards the blade. I've been sharpening blades for over 30 years. A honing tool is also very good after.

[@americanrifleman2992]

I get a great edge doing this but it seems like at some point I start shaving off the stones. Is that normal?

[@akashanee3048]

You are amazing... Your skillset is growing each day... Cool video thx

[@flaviobove]

Grande,magnifica passione e la tua mono d'opera è favolosa. Complimenti

[@nateman9736]

I was like "whoa" with this video. Multi-talent. I admire that

[@alexandrverkin1721]

Очень интересная задумка!!! Вы молодец!!!!

[@CJBanks-nc5re]

I always enjoy watching your videos you are a very smart young woman. And quite handy around the house and in the shop. I like your accent also.

[@ee222]

great video, lilly! something i thought of while watching you sharpening your knives is, since you have only 2 stones, maybe mount the other stone on the opposite side. that way, when you are ready to switch stones, you just have to rotate the arm around to the other stone.

[@MacMcNurgle]

This looks great. Will cover many different tools including garden tools.

[@aliceg9571]

Hi Lilly and Amy. Happy to see you are doing great. I enjoy watching when your at your workshop. Thanks for the video. ATB

[@crimsonhalo13]

Rotating caster bearings are amazing. I made a bike trailer hitch from one and it's still going strong five years later. It's impressive how much they can take.

[@SeeFPv-qm6ie]

HELLO LILY AWESOME LIKE ALWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BE SAFE.

[@caseys9108]

You are getting better and better at fabricating things! Well done Lilly!

[@alejo4921]

de lo mejor que he visto, realmente sos muy talentosa Lilly !!!! Saludos !!!

[@scottwilliams5196]

Very nice Lilly. Good problem solving skills.😊

[@Challenger160500]

Ist ja cool. 😎 Also sowas habe ich noch nie gesehen. Was du immer für coole Ideen hast. 😊

[@georgemoskal2098]

Lilly. Your some cookie and very clever carpenter. Joiner. Wow. Never thought of restoring an old motorcycle?you have the hands for it.

[@marieleopold1625]

WELL DONE LILLY! A LOT of good thought went into the planning and THEN...the making of your new jig = TALENT! I would add to your title; 'Special guest appearance; AMY!' (LOL) Health and God's blessing upon you n' yours!

[@trollpatrol8453]

Wonderful workshop! Great tool you’ve made there. I have one myself that was gifted to me. It’s awesome to put the exact edge you want on a knife consistently! Nothing like a fresh edge. My son brings all his when he visits so they’re always perfect. Hunting, kitchen, pocket knifes we do them all at once. Thanks for sharing!

[@gerrymcveigh2413]

Nice job 👍👏 , your shop is awesome , looks like you have everything you need ...😉😎🍀🇺🇸🍍

[@sigurdivar4227]

Nice setup! Very interesting. And you got a good workshop in your house. 👍

[@frederikmare9002]

Great video thanks! I never realized that you are such a handy girl! And you have a well equipped workshop! Also it's the first time I noticed your beautiful hands! 👍🖐️

[@BraxxJuventa]

Well done Lilly. 👍😁

[@earlelzy7243]

I thought that was really awesome. You have a cool workshop. Great work.

[@robertsalmon6893]

Nice job Lil!

[@chriswolvaardt1899]

Awesome video very helpful thanks

[@holyhellbird]

Your so crafty,. I loved the video.

[@WalkingTrekAvventure]

Hi Lilly, this self-made tool is interesting, and congratulations on your manual skills. Greetings from Italy and super LIKE. 👍👋

[@doylemontgomery3944]

I like the way you think. It's cool and practical. ❤ from Texas.

[@grefoxke]

Nice! I was just looking at buying a jig! I definitely have these parts laying around the garage. Sweet.

[@rubysingh876]

Awesome post

[@richardainsworth4357]

Lily, you are a southern man's dream girl! I love your videos and I beat you can prep too. Keep up the great things you do! :)))

[@mountainwolf1]

This is a very nice design you could even do a slight alteration for a filing jig to make your own bevels godbless and thanks for sharing.

[@FelixImmler]

Sehr coole Idee! LG Felix

[@holliday9416]

u made it girl, will try to do my own allready have the stones and my folding knifs completle unsharpened so, cant wait!

[@jons2447]

Hello, Lilly; Good video, & good design. Use a phone app, ( I have Rotating Sphere Inclinometer ) to check the angle of the blade. Then check the angle of the stone-holder, subtract the blade angle from the holder angle. The difference is the angle your knife is sharpened at. Have a GREAT day, Neighbor!

[@zemsbones1116]

Woww... A love it👍🥰

[@haeryvlog7757]

Brillian idea 👍

[@leonardopoli319]

beautiful invention to sharpen knives with the perfect angle beautiful an excellent invention good day hello👍👋

[@najroe]

I would make a second holder so each stone has separate one,

[@thatHARVguy]

Or, redesign the end piece and have the second stone on the opposite side. Hold both at the same time.

[@Hangs4Fun]

Was going to suggest the same thing

[@traveller9625]

You are making good videos despite the lock down, thanks

[@EddieOakes]

Awesome job Lily! I've often thought about buying a jig like this but now I have a better idea how to build my own. Thanks for the awesome video!

[@jmtx.]

Ingeniously awesome! Thanks for going through the build.

[@joebrown1382]

Very nice jig & very accurate. Nice work.

[@josephsage3524]

Absolutely brilliant Lilly

[@wolfiethefearless7902]

"Ferb i know what we're gonna do today."

[@kele1264]

😂

[@crazyturk2745]

Super Arbeit.👍 Hast du eine Liste vom Material die du genutzt hast und die Maße dazu???

[@Karlthegrubber]

Super video as usual lilly.

[@flatbrokefrank6482]

That's Brilliant Lilly

[@Cydsdad]

Nice Job Lilly . Well done

[@titoantunes4782]

I love your channel !!

[@charlescaprez4322]

Very good idea. I think I'll build one

[@barnybudin8728]

Brilliant!!!love it!!!

[@redplague76]

I like it, very ingenious. I use a Lansky for my pocket knives, which is similar to what you made. As some other people have suggested, I use a sharpie on the edge to see exactly what I am taking off and where. Also always run your stone against/towards the edge, lift up and repeat, instead of going back and forth, or at least that’s the way I have always done it. Mineral oil, or something similar helps to.

[@krishoogstraat6866]

Well done !!!

[@polgartibor1958]

Lilly you ist one amazing woman - i'love your video !!!! Gongrats !!!

[@systemSkynet]

This was an awesome video. A wee break from the norm but highly entertaining. Brilliant build and exact angle on the blade every sharpening.

[@planecrazyish]

I'm always amazed by your talents :-D you really have a huge amount of really useful and practical knowledge. Your workshop and tools look great!

[@GMSurvival]

Really awesome video Lilly! You are a big inspiration!

[@VODZ]

Very nice! Now I really need to get my garage cleaned up so I can make one!

[@igormatveev6075]

Good job. And maybe mounting a handle onto the detail, to which the whetstone is attached, could make the job more convenient and could protect your fingers from getting cut.

[@l.o.b.2433]

As someone who utterly sucks at sharpening his swords, that might come in handy. Unfortunately, I also suck at crafting stuff. Time to ask someone about it!

[@cole33333333]

Like your wood working skills, nice job.

[@BillyBOB-sm3rl]

Cool build

[@Jonessen]

Sehr geil. 👌

[@sassafrasred6657]

Ots a good video. Where did you get your measurements for the build?

[@jurgenwerndl1139]

Nice 👌kleiner Tipp mach dir ein 2tes Holzteil mit dem Diamant Schleifstein dann brauchst nur kurz eine Schraube lösen und fertig 😜

[@DeeegerD]

Nice jig. With a little more work I imagine you could come up with a mount that holds 2 or 4 stones (so you just rotate the rod to use a different one).

[@fallensoldier7745]

That is the coolest thing since sliced bread! Cowboy approved!

[@gebhardt244]

Best video ever

[@johnchecketts1732]

Hi lily you are really good at your wood working skills and love that I will make one for myself and all so love your lovely workshop take care xx

[@farhanbana_official_accoun5266]

Good work lili

[@crispincoleman]

Awesome sharpening jig! Similar design to one that some knife makers use to shape their knives primary bevels. Well done. Also, wow your shop is super clean👍👍👍.

[@cjman1991]

Old school do it by hand. I enjoy sharpening knives, found that I enjoy it more holding knife and stone. Bought one of those sharpening systems always went back old school. Takes practice go slow stick with it.

[@bigviper64]

Professional knife sharpening costs $1.00 per inch in many locations here (Texas)..but it’s fun to sharpen our own knives when needed.

[@hagerty268]

Super clever

[@menma4519]

Hello, don't be bored, sorry, you have to calculate the angle precisely for sharpening, for example, a 20 degree angle is good for a knife blade, you have to use trigonometric functions to adjust this angle to calculate the size of the side of the base, the size of the height and the size of the arm that is the sanding stone. and build the system according to those sizes The second point is to use water when sharpening so that both the blade and the sanding stone are not damaged (of course, there are two types of sanding stones, water sanding stones and oil sanding stones). Good luck

[@ScrapwoodCity]

That was pretty cool!

[@MarganaSkye]

Super impressed with your never ending mountain of skills. You are a wonderful role model to any young girl that wants to do it all.

[@AndrewPotts1962]

This one sounds like a game-changer!

[@luke-te3sr]

Thisbis amazing because I have been trying to makebone the past few days. Its crazy you just put this up

[@NocturnalState303]

That turned out to be pretty cool

[@corneletc6851]

Felicitari !

[@chrisbysize]

13:50 You seem to miss a support next to the edge. I wasn't using this support on the cheap 25€ 4 side wet stone sharpener and the edge had some flexibility - once the support was raised, you could feel the progress of sharpening. So less then 1cm overhanging improved the processes. In the end I'm using only 1500 with a thin wet film of water smeared with a finger and for heavily used edged the 600 grid.

[@rayduke7433]

Nice work

[@pieterschildt]

Good video and very clear. I have a suggestion: When drilling smal and larger holes at the same point: first drill the large holes, it is much more easy.

[@IodoDwarvenRanger]

Clever design :)

[@WonderfullyDank]

Keep doing you Lily 🙏

[@darrellhayward6673]

Wow of Lilly so handy ya ty for sharing my beautiful spirit sister love it ya ❤3✌
