Easy Way To Sharpen A Chisel As Sharp As A Razor

[@StuartSyvret]

Cabinet maker here; this is a load of bollocks. Get a honing guide, a strop, and some honing paste. Ignore this cobblers.

Time served joiner 50 years experience, that is absolute garbage !

[@AlanTatham-e6w]

I agree, what a load of rubbish and time, A good honing guide can be bought that takes quarter inch to two inch chisels plus some plane blades. also the man does not seem to know that you have two angles to a blade, the grinding angle then the sharpening angle. Total waste of time.

[@MarshalTriumph-p1h]

I'm not a joiner but I have enough skill to sharpen a chisel, otherwise I shouldn't be using one. What a "Heath Robinson" device you have knocked up here. Reminds me of my childhood watching Blue Peter. The only thing missing is the empty washing up liquid bottle.😁

My old dad was a superb chippy, he taught me with an oilstone and an old leather belt. You could have SHAVED with his chisels, like straight razors! He even sharpened his drills by hand, the skills that man had were amazing to me. I never mastered drills sadly.

[@richardmccann9293]

My dad taught me the same. I just use a wetstone like in the video (but with a store bought chisel block instead of making it out of wood) and then scrape it off afterwards on a piece of leather. Much faster and less messy than using toothpaste and an old battery :)

[@creationholic101]

Your dad sounds like a true craftsman! Those skills are incredible, especially sharpening drills by hand. Even though mastering drills is tough, it's great that you have those memories and skills passed down!

[@TomSarros-bj2mq]

Lot of effort to sharpen a tool, just learn how to use a whet stone properly and u will get a sharp chisel every time..

[@creationholic101]

You only need to craft it once, the next grinding takes less than 1 minute

[@CrazyRev]

@@creationholic101 But presumably one is needed for every chisel!

[@miket2120]

You don't need to use a battery to strop the chisel. Get a old leather belt and lay it on it's face. Then add the toothpaste or cleanser with water to the leather and pull the chisel edge across the leather. It looks like there is a double bevel on the chisel: an angled edge on both sides. While this is okay for rough work, it means more work being done for accurate use, compensating for the chisel wanting to move upward in the cut. The bottom of the chisel needs to be absolutely flat, hopefully with a little hollow area about 1cm from the tip.

[@creationholic101]

Hello! thanks for your comment. Wish you all the best!

[@johnmuzzo1971]

I thought everyone knew about the two bevels on a chisel??? I knew it in shop class in 1964 and it has worked excellently for me since then through hundreds of chisels of various sizes......

[@creationholic101]

Thank you for sharing your feedback

[@annabellevsedward1440]

Every chisel and plane iron should have two angles on the cutting edge unless I have been doing it wrong for 60 years as a joiner

[@marcovaldez643]

160. Or 40. According to the people perspective.

[@hixyz19999]

On a wood chisel, one side is flat, the other side has an angle. Always, everywhere.

[@fredschepers5149]

That's not entirely true. You can add a secondary micro bevel to make touching honing easier. ​@@hixyz19999

[@charlesnoska2225]

A chisel is NEVER sharpened with two angles. Why do you think the back is flat. It is not a knife.

[@mattb2]

She doesn’t mean an angle on one side and a different angle on the back 🙄. Traditionally chisels are sharpened at two angles but have a look at Paul Sellers style. He sharpens at one angle and works great 👍

[@TheGrumpybstard]

A minty fresh chisel is the cornerstone of every woodworker's 'shop!

Try using all of the saw blade. Save a lot of effort and steel by using a second bevel for a cutting edge. Love the wedge device.

Not only will this clog up your stone, the water will cause the wood to swell lifting the edge of the chisel off of the stone.

Most sensible comment in the section. Spend pennies on a proper honing jig or 30 mins making a wooden honing jig that will load your oil stone with wood fibres, and limit the bearing surface when you remove the burr.

You don't sharpen the whole length of the bevel of the chisel as manufactured. You should sharpen it at a steeper angle to produce a second bevel that is only a sixteenth of an inch, or so, long. Sharpening then does not involve taking off anywhere near as much material from the blade.

A wood chisel has two blade angles, usually 30 and 25 degrees, better achieved with a proper sharpening guide and an oil stone, whetstones are more suited to penknives and bush craft knives, precision tools such as a chisel should not be abused in this manner, the battery is a hook gimmick, how many of the views were obtained on here by people wondering what' that about? well nothing, nada no real purpose at all.

Alternatively, buy a little gadget that adjusts to various sizes (widths) of chisel, and provided the correct angle. It's on wheels so moves easily on the whetstone.
