Fricking genius. Glad I had to pause my work table build. Gonna build one that fits in a drawer in mine now.

[@adkwoodandresin]

Awesome - Glad you found it helpful!

[@Andi.Mitchell.Designs]

Anything in the related field is good. Two thumbs up! I also just ordered new sharpening items and will be doing a video about the sharpening station I’m designing. It’s similar. But different. Keep it up!

[@adkwoodandresin]

Looking forward to seeing yours

[@ureasmith3049]

Great idea. I built the Paul Sellers setup and complained to myself about those same limitations.

This is fantastic. Thank you so much. Yes! Please continue with ways to streamline workflows. Subscribed

Thank you! Will do!

[@nickmastro9287]

Very helpful. I’m a hand tool woodworker so I sharpen frequently and always looking for a better way. Thank you for sharing. New subscriber.

[@Sawbladewoodworks]

I like it 👌🏻

[@adkwoodandresin]

Thanks!

[@allan5721]

Very nice! Maybe a deep slot in between or near the strops for the compound? Could even cut in slots for the blade angle guides. A lot of possibilities.

[@adkwoodandresin]

Ohh both good ideas man. I may do one or both of those

[@jimrosson6702]

Great idea Thanks for sharing

[@adkwoodandresin]

You bet!

[@vinnyleone3427]

Good job

[@rjc305]

Great video! Would enjoy more like it. Thanks

[@adkwoodandresin]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@hunteredwarddesign]

This is some big brain stuff right here. nicely done

[@xris86]

Best solution! Plus add a rotating base and a stop, so you dont need to even move from your chair!

[@adkwoodandresin]

I thought about it!

[@3weight]

Thanks for the fresh idea! I am about to put together my first station, and this makes so much sense I’m going to start here! BTW, production note: I would probably not hang with your vids if they all have that bouncy Muzak bed mixed in so loud. It’s just unrelenting and for me, make it a grind to see the video through. Just my take and everyone is different of course, but I doubt you’d like any viewers if it were lower 👍🏼

[@adkwoodandresin]

Appreciate your comment very much, including the music critique. I change up my music for every video. I went with this genre for this video to try to bump up the excitement factor for an otherwise low energy video subject haha

[@ChristopherRNeumann]

While I appreciate the creativity in your design, and I think it's aesthetically pleasing and functional to have everything on one block of wood, you could have just increased the distance the final stone was from the raised one on the second option. i.e., move it to the right.

[@adkwoodandresin]

I guess in my mind i would've had to space them all out and it was going to get super long. But you make a good point i probably couldve gotten away with only moving one or two. Although then by the time i add the strops it wouldve been vern longer still

[@ChristopherRNeumann]

@@adkwoodandresin Yeah, now that you mention it, it would probably look a bit clunky if it were super wide. Thanks for sharing your design and the thought process behind it.

[@ekzpo3876]

Very cool! Do you have to pick it up and rotate it 90* as you progress through grits, or do you only need to access the final stone/strops during normal work flow? If you have to rotate it, it would be interesting to incorporate something like a lazy susan into the base that could be “locked” at each 90* turn… that’d be quite a project though lol

[@adkwoodandresin]

Yeah i thought about a locking lazy susan thing but I only had limited time before i had to get onto the next build. Anyway you're right its norma just the last stone and some strop work. But even when i have to do a full grit progression, i just set it up on the end of my workbench so i can easily access all sides
