[@jamesperrin3762]

Thanks to this video and a couple of others I've managed to straighten the curved factory edge on my cheap as chips Record No 4 and got it stupidly sharp. Done with a Faithful 400/1000 diamond sharpner, 10 quid honing guide and homemade strop. Made a protrusion guide block so I can do it again consistently, which is what will save you time and steel rather than being dead on the angles. Never going to do any fine furniture making but enjoy your videos a lot. The transparency and honest style is great. OK where are my Stanley chisels!

[@oldms]

You have a real gift for teaching. I watched several videos before this one and you explained it far better than anyone else. Something about how you teach resonates with how I learn I suppose. I should have come to you first because this isn't the first time I've ended up finding you to be the one who explains something perfectly. I've learned my lesson this time. I'll subscribe to you and get lesson I was looking for straight away.

[@daleromney6062]

This is the best video I have seen on sharpening, and I have looked at quite a few.

[@Swarm509]

Great video! I love seeing different ways people sharpen and the systems they have. I picked up a few tricks from this I will try next time I sharpen my planes, such as ensuring I count out my strokes and shifting the pressure around the plane edge to get a repeatable curve. Super new to this so lots of room to get a system that works for me. Honestly I have been using Paul Sellers method of since that worked best for me with the materials on on hand. I will say to anyone who complains about the tools used... you can do all of this with sandpaper (from re-angling the iron to final super sharp edge) but it will simply take you longer to do it, but if that is what you have use it. As you get better, or are willing to spend more money, you can buy stones and diamond plates and just save yourself more time and improve your edges.

[@tomwright2601]

I have learned so very much from your videos! Keep it up Master Matt!

[@LumenP1023]

the problem is, in the long term, you'll have to reflatten the cutting edge, and the more you use the plane, the less flat your work pieces will turn out. This is over the course of several years of working and recambering/sharpening with the blade though, so for many, its negligible. Me, I just round out the very corners, to stop leaving tracks. So my preference is the opposite of Matt's. It preserves the straightness and flatness of the blade, and gives a much more accurate flat result on your work.

[@richardsinger01]

Lumenpraebeo I find that’s ok for smoothing planes, but I prefer a camber on jack and try planes. Also you can’t square up the edge of a board without a camber. Or if you can, I have no idea how...

[@steh8217]

As a new woodworker, I originally thought I can save few £ on a honing guide and free hand sharpen like loads of guys do. But I could Never! Get plane irons or chisels truly sharp. I was buying old vintage tools at car boot sales etc and didn’t realise how much work they needed. But few £ on a honing guide and now I see what sharp is like, and it is consistent 😁

[@MISANTHROPE1964]

Matt, Would love to see how you flatten the backs of chisels and plane irons.

[@lokisullivan469]

Great great video. Matt showed how to create a really nice quality edge with the help of a few aids. Purist will say you don’t need aids, but they all use “tools” to get the job done. I’m all for using the best tools to produce the best results without spending all my time preparing my tools. I’d rather be cutting wood. Yes, it is great to learn to freehand all your blades but not everyone is interested in that art. And yes it is an art beyond just tool basic maintenance. I personally would like to see someone do in depth analysis under microscope to see the differences between the edge of a pure free-hander and the edge produced with aids. I think the difference would be astonishing! Again great video Matt. It’s very close to how I learned: 300/1000 diamond plate, 1000/6000 King Stone and a Strop. Seeing how precise your primary bevels are, makes me want to buy a grinder as well.

[@shonuffisthemaster]

good videos, i usually learn something and i like how you start from the verry begenning, not assuming your viewers have any prior knoladge. verry friendly and step by step approch that im sure takes the intimidation out of these subjects for allot of people. I know sharpening can be challanging for many people and is something woodworkers tend to put off untill their tools are unusably dull, then get frustrated with how much work the edges need and give up before there sharp. To this point, i think making sharpening faster and easier is the way to go, so you do it more often. I think people really need to learn to sharpen by hand without jigs. i see all the time that your spending not only using jigs in the first place, but even switching jigs in the middle. fiddling with all that stuff takes allot of time and i think is discouraging to sharpening more often. you could also be spending that time taken up by setting up the jigs to get a really good edge. i know the title says "stupid sharp" but ive sharpened enough to know the edge your getting after just knocking the burr off with a 6k and on to a bit of stropping is nothing to write home about. one of the big disadvantages of using jigs is the inability to work on the back side and then go back to working the bevel. the edge needs further refinement after the burr comes off, more than just stropping will do. I know your passionate about woodworking, i encourage you to step up your sharpening game and learn to freehand.

[@GirlyBirdy]

Hot take: plane with an inverted curve so you take out more on edges and less in the center

[@maustinau]

Sweet! So all I need is a $150 diamond plate, a $700 Tormek, $300 in Japanese whetstones and I'll be able to get my $100 plane iron hella sharp. Really, good on you for making this but anyone in a position to have all that probably won't need a video on how to use it all. Where's a video for guys who have some sandpaper, a flat surface, a honing guide and maybe a stone or two?

[@kljw66]

Great video. does this principle apply to. blade used in a bevel up plane?

[@russruss2446]

Useful info. Unlike many videos, this offers something new and useful. I learned from Paul Sellers, good stuff. But freehand sharpening only works if you do it all the time, otherwise you loose the edge. Your ability to judge the angle fades away, and there’s no point stroping an edge that isn’t already almost perfect. So unless you’re a 1920s craftsman or Paul Sellers, use a jig.

[@ehisey]

I don't know about that. the blade as it came out of the plane would take about 15 min. start to finish tops with 3 stones a strop. Less mess, less setup, longer life of the iron, and you could still use a guide if you wanted too.

[@pilobond]

I am by no means an expert or pro. I have a day job, I don't do sharpening "all the time". Maybe I would sharpen a few blades a month max, when I am in the mood for woodworking that month? But Paul Sellers method works for me. Sharp, mirror polished edge in 10 minutes or less with mimum tools (really 3 diamond plates and leather strop on 2x4), no machines. And yes, if cutting hair on back of hand is "stupid sharp", it does get "stupid sharp" too. A guide just gets in the way. (I bought one, but haven't used for more than a year.) The point is that no higher authorities above decided that "25 deg" is the "proper" angle. As long as you are close enough it doesn't matter.

[@kaiprice7856]

Hi Matt great video on sharpening a plane blade very useful , how much is the lapping plate ?

[@yomomz3921]

So, uh, I tried the ol' shave the hair off of your hand trick after sharpening. Well, the corner dug in ever so slightly... and I shit you not, the blade started taking a ribbon out of my hand. I saw it, just a gossamer wisp of a thing, and for a split second, I was mesmerized by the sight. I never even felt it. My hand didn't even know to bleed until a few seconds later. It wasn't deep at all, but yeah, the method gets a blade sharp as fuuuck. - (I suppose that particular blade has officially been christened).

[@fergusrb]

I am looking at getting the Stanley Sweetheart low angle jack plane. Do you sharpen that the same way with a 25 degree primary bevel and a 30 degree secondary Bevel?

[@FJD333]

Reading some of the comments on this video suggests that a point has been missed. So what if Matt has every tool at his disposal. The fact is he still knows what to do with them. He has a good pair of hands. That's a given. But in this age of You Tube "woodworkers" where some of them are just plain rubbish, it's somewhat refreshing to see someone demonstrating a technique which will be around for just as long. It's a simple fact of life, that if expertise in any field is not passed from one generation to the next, then it will be lost forever. Don't knock what he's doing. It's not what you need to do. But if you wanted to, I think this is a pretty good start.

Apart from saving me the bother of sharpening the chipbreaker, could you elaborate as to what problems might arise by sharpening said chipbreaker - just curious….. MVH

[@matrixmodulator]

6:43 how does this stop block made? is there a guide to know where the end of the jig goes? you mentioned someone doing a video about it? link ?

[@high-velocitymammal5030]

It's just a jig to quickly tell the distance between the edge of your chisel or plane blade, and the mouth of your chisel guide/ holder. A given distance between the two should always give the same sharpening angle. I just use a ruler to measure, because I know that for my Stanley chisel holder, 25 mm between the mouth of the holder and the cutting edge of the chisel means a sharpening angle of 25°.

[@TheBaseShop]

Great video. just a suggestion for you though, when you mention your previous video, have a link to it in the corner or something. makes it easier to find that video and we end up watching more of your stuff :) it might just be me, but I don't find it easy to search through videos to find the one you're referencing.

[@DRJMF1]

Can I use a sanding belt to make primary bevel 30 degrees ? If so, what belt grit would be ok to use please ? 🙏 thank you.

[@TaylorTheOtter]

I've never done this myself but I've seen people do it (on KZbin). Here's a (relatively) quick summary of what I've found: What's important is that you cool the plane blade often during the process. Just have a bowl of water next to the belt sander to dip the blade in. If you let it get too hot, the metal will soften and it won't hold it's edge. If that happens, you can fix it but you have to grind away all the softer metal so you loose a lot of metal that way. You can slow how quickly it heats up by applying les pressure on the blade. If you're careful, you can keep your fingers fairly close to the edge while grinding so you feel it immediately if it's getting hot. Don't do that if you're not 100% sure you can do it safely. If you don't do it that way, just remember that it's better to cool the blade too often than to let it soften. You can recognize the softer metal by the color: if it turns a yellow-ish hue, it's softened a little (but I think it's still usable, don't quote me on that...) but if it's turned a rather lovely shade of blue, you've got to grind the whole bevel again. As for grits, I've seen some use 150, some a little higher, some a little lower. Anything above 100 and below 300 should work fine. I've also seen a few people build jigs to keep the iron at the right angle which seems like a pretty nice idea.

[@keuckwh8979]

8:42--Pulling the blade on the flat stone creates a burr. Pushing the blade on the flat stone prevents the forming of a burr.

[@leafthatfalls]

He's got water stones not oil, they're softer. So if you push you run the risk of gouging your stone and having to spend a bunch of time flattening the stone again.

[@jessestrum]

thanks matt usefull tips

[@metzessible1271]

Just curious, but would I follow these directions for all plane types (Assuming down the road I end up with all the other kinds aside from the low angles or whatever)?

[@RONNIEJNZN]

When I do grind, which isn't often,(not a tormek, bench grinder w norton 3x I grade and jigs) I gently push the blade to the stone with an ice cube. I dont overgrind/overheat and always finish on dmt plates but its added insurance

[@JustTony72]

What would one do if their stones aren't as wide as the plane blade besides from buying new stones. Like if you sharpen one side and then move over to the other side and sharpen again. then wouldn't the middle have had more passes than the sides?

[@davidsteele3037]

A Tormek T8 is nearly £600 and a linisher is £450 (Axminster Trade Ultimate Edge System). Is it worth paying the extra for the Tormek if I'm only going to use it to regrind the primary bevel? I notice the linisher will heat the blade if not regularly quenched in water.

[@colsinclair7793]

The things you end up watching mid splif.

[@stevev2414]

Good video. I've been laboring for a while over whether or not to get a tormek and, in particular, if it supersedes or compliments the use of water stones. Its clear from your video that its part of your sharpening toolkit. Was wondering what you see as the main advantage of the tormek - is it just speed? Would you use Tormek to help with flattening the backs of 'ly' neelsen chisels?

[@ehisey]

I have access to one, and the main thing I use it for is repairing damaged blades. Day to day honing, is faster and simpler with a set of stones. I would not try to flatten anything on a wheel, it by nature creates a curve. That is best done a large flat diamond hone.

[@michaelballinger6419]

Don't by a tormek just learn to sharpen on any stones you can find. A little inexpensive honing guide will help get you started (I used to use them) now I just freehand sharpen it's so fast to do, doesn't take up any space in my workshop and I get shaving sharp edges. Takes 15 minutes to sharpen my set of 6 bench chisels and my smoothing plane iron.

[@rickhickman2730]

When it comes to the ruler trick producing the micro back bevel, at what point do you need to either flatten the back? Or grind the face bevel away enough to remove the back bevel?

But I thought just to let you know you're referencing to things that are not on your website.

[@LordNPS]

There is a great "in between", between hand sharpening the coarse bevel and tormec. Use a bench grinder with the big back slow wet stone, works fine for getting that primary bevel, and they are very inexpensive (35€). You WON'T ruin the steel. The simplest wood block with an angle cut on the end works fine as a jig too. Best value solution I think.

[@Sonicexpres]

matt messed up in this video. he said that he sometimes changes the angle of his secondary bevel to 50 to reduce tearout. that is a bevel down plane. changing the bevel angle doesnt change the cutting angle. what he described only works with a bevel up plane. if you want to increase the cutting angle on a bevel down plane, you need to introduce a back bevel, not increase the bevel angle.

A little late, but the machine itself is a Tormek (don't know the model but looks like one of the bigger ones, T7 maybe?) and the thing that holds the plane blade is the Tormek Square Edge Jig SE77 (or an older variant of it). There's loads of jigs for the Tormek to sharpen almost any kind of tool, and they even offer a 4000 grit japanese stone nowadays. They are very pricey, though.

I too own a Tormek, but am finding it an awfully expensive and space-consuming tool if only used for primary bevels.

But if you do woodturning or if you work with hard woods with a lot of tools it pays itself, i mean, i need one and i know it's potential (my woodworking school has two t8s) and i'm really gonna get one! Of course for primary bevels it's non necessary but you sharpen everything in a perfect way till razor sharp

[@ianmoone2359]

Tormek is over priced & redundant outdated outmoded technology since Electroplated steel grinding wheels coated with CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride) came into production for your bench grinder. 2nd in hardness only to diamond, they grind COLD for High Speed Steel & Tool Steel. You can hold your hand near the cutting edge being ground & it barely gets warm to the touch. It WONT make the corners or edge turn blue & ruin the temper of the steel the way a aluminium oxide wheel does! There’s no longer ANY need for wet grinding! Diamond wheels are still used for tungsten carbide & CBN for HSS & Tool Steel. Diamond wheels clog up with grinding swarf & then heat up & need to be “cleaned” using a aluminium oxide stick, whereas CBN doesn’t clog or get warm or need cleaning. CBN wheels will make Tormek systems redundant pieces of over priced junk you can’t give away let alone sell.
