flattening sharpening stones - the self made method

[@dstrindevall]

Thank you for this video! I've recently become aware of how dished my whetstones have become and this is a great help for me to flatten them.

[@littleforest]

Oh, good to hear, that this video has been somehow helpful!

[@torstenk.007]

Tolles Video, vielen Dank dafür! Ich habe sie mir aus Kanalklinker gemacht, jedoch saugen meine Steine das Wasser auf. Ich nutze sie schon über 10 Jahre und bin immer noch begeistert, dass man mit so einfachen Dingen so viel ausrichten kann!

[@littleforest]

Interessant, mich hatte das Saugen sehr gestört, aber, Du kommst damit klar. Es gibt so viele Wege zu scharfem Werkzeug. Vielleicht ist es wie in der Natur auch - die Diversität ist es, was die Dinge ausmacht.

I used to put sand on concrete blocks to level my sandstone sharpening stones.

[@littleforest]

Thank you for this comment :-) It took me a while to get my corrund powder. Not easy to find in small amounts. In the moment i had it between my fingers i was wondering, if exactly sand would have done it. May your comment save someone elses time ;-)

My farther was a carpenter and joiner all his life and he used to put sand on a piece of glass to flatten his sharpening stones here in the uk

Sand or abrasive powder

[@romualdaskuzborskis]

3 paltes method! Works as good as ever, I had my granite plates flattened so (took better part of 2 days wit SiC powder). Just have to remember to turn then 90° every now and then to avoid twisting in to propeller.

Just found your channel and Subscribed. Interesting. I can do with some of them

I'm curious, with the availability of so many diamond stones, why do you continue to use natural stones?

[@GianniStorti]

Following, I'm interested too

[@littleforest]

Good question :-) Diamond stones - well, they might perform very well, but something holds me back. Maybe, it is bit like choosing hand-tools instead of machines. In natural stones (or artisanal made water stones) i easier find a soul i can connect. If you are interested, i have in mind showing my new natural stones and how they perform in near future. I admit not having much experience with diamonds but am confident, that my tools get at least as sharp ;-)

[@tombaker3794]

OK, I understand your thoughts on this and I appreciate your response. Thanks for the videos.

[@waldmensch-hy4ly]

Interesting question! To my experience the performance of the finer traditional water or natural stones has not been reached with diamonds, specially, when it comes to polishing. Another point i prefer in these stones is the fact, that they keep their quality from the first stroke to the last. The quality of diamond stones continuosly decreases during their lifetime. I have only one very coarse diamond left, i only use to flatten my water and nature stones.

Could I use natural sand instead of the powder? edit: Read through some of the comments, and at least according to them, it should! I'll try it

[@littleforest]

--> Yes, should work just perfectly. But very important, to choose the right bricks - klinkkeritiili.

Wow. What a sun raise, set? How much time you have with sun light during a day now?

[@ricos1497]

I'm not sure if that's a sunset or a sunrise, but a nacreous cloud. Quite common in colder climates, but we actually had them here in Scotland yesterday. I had never seen them before, so had to search the internet to find out what they were.

[@littleforest]

Yes, well seen. Here, we call them helmiäispilvit - pearl clouds. It was a beautiful evening. Today, there is no sunlight here, it's cloudy ;-) It would be about 3-4 hours. And from today on, days are getting longer..

Это называется выравнивание по методу трех плит, применяется при шабрении поверочных чугунных плит. Но есть один нюанс: плиты должны быть квадратными и в ходе работы поворачиваться на 90 градусов, пока не получится 360 градусов. Иначе не получить ровной поверхности.
