Great demo on how to use this British made product Mike. Well done.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Mark.

Used Yorkshire grit in the past, which was good stuff. When I couldn’t get that any more I tried Chestnut cut n polish, well that was a waste of time and money. So I’ve just bought true grit in normal and superfine, and have to say that it does a much better job than either of the others. My Mrs wasn’t best pleased cos I left the lid off the superfine, and she put some on her legs!😅

[@MikeWaldt]

Glad you like it nobby ... at least your wife will now have super soft shiney legs!!! 😉

@@MikeWaldt Can you use other finishes (other than wax) over it? Have you tried any?

Good choice and glad you like it.

Cheers Alan appreciate it.

[@steverose1]

Hi Mike. Many thanks for another informative video. Can I ask if there is a particular direction the workpiece should be turning for sanding? I have read that it should reversed if the lathe is capable. Any guidance would be gratefully received. Best wishes. Steve.

[@MikeWaldt]

Hi Steve .... a lot of people do reverse sand .... I do sometimes but not normally ... I just don't find it necessary. But that's just me 🙂 Cheers Mike

[@steverose1]

Thanks Mike. Grateful for your time and wisdom. Steve

[@dirgethesergal319]

with the old Yorkshire grit i was able to apply a lacquer as my final finish if i de-greased the piece with methylated spirits first, do you know if thats still possible with true grit?

[@MikeWaldt]

I believe it is ... maybe try a test piece first.

[@lexmorgan7046]

Can I use any final finishes over this other than waxes? I was thinking about a clear acrylic high gloss. What types of finishes can I use? Thanks very much

[@MikeWaldt]

You shouldn't have a problem Lex. Cheers. Mike

[@robertreihsen9096]

Can a finish other than wax be applied over the grit?

[@MikeWaldt]

Hi Robert it us recommended to only use a wax finish over True Grit. Cheers. Mike

[@jrkorman]

Looks like a good product. One observation for the manufacturer is "Work on the website landing page". Being greeted by essentially a blank page is not very welcoming!

[@truegritfinishes1353]

Noted, we will get working on it

[@brianworrell6757]

Is this the same True Grit as PITA's True Grit?

[@MikeWaldt]

I have no knowledge of the PITA product I'm afraid Brian.

Why does Mike always sound like he's standing in a freezing garage? are you always standing in a freezing garage Mike? 😁👍

[@MikeWaldt]

😅🤣😅🤣😅

[@jimgill1105]

I presume this is a rebranded "Yorkshire Grit", which I use extensively!!

[@MikeWaldt]

Hi Jim, it is a different product and has no association with YG. However both are excellent, the difference being that True Grit is made in the UK. Cheers. Mike

[@mikepoole4774]

Is this Yorkshire Grit renamed or something different?

[@phillallen01]

Apparently yorkshire grit is no longer made in the UK looks like easywood tools have now bought it

[@MarkBeckettRPT]

This is a completely new product from a different company. Same great quality and even better results. And best of all, made in Yorkshire.

[@mikepullen8028]

Cant seem to find this product in bc canada

[@MikeWaldt]

Only available in the UK at the moment Mike

[@nickjan67]

Interesting that Mike Waldt makes no mention of Yorkshire Grit in this video, almost as if it no longer exists and particularly given his previous relation with YG (Waldt was, for example, a demonstrator at the YG stand at a Makers Central event some years ago). That YG has been acquired by another company (Easywood Tools I understand) does not seem sufficient reason to fail to mention the product and almost is a plea for explanation and, ideally, comparison of the two Yorkshire products.

[@MikeWaldt]

Both products are excellent .... the difference being is that True Grit is made in the UK, while YG is not anymore. So, where possible I'll promote and use UK made products. Hope this explains things for you.

[@gordcameron4409]

@@MikeWaldt The video would have been better with this explanation in it. I agree with Nicholas, it was very odd for you to be talking about a new abrasive wax from Yorkshire without mentioning Yorkshire Grit. It seemed evasive, though I now see from your reply to Nicholas that there is an explanation. Best to get these things out in the open.
