🕵️‍♂️ WHO AM I?:
My name is Matt Estlea, I'm a 26 year old Woodworker from Basingstoke in England and my aim is to make your woodworking less s***.
I come from 5 years tuition at Rycotewood Furniture Centre with a further 1 year working as an Artist in Residence at the Sylva Foundation, which is where I began growing my business. I then returned to Rycotewood to teach Evening Classes for 2 Years, while also teaching City and Guilds Furniture Making for 3 years. They were some long 12 hour days!
In September, 2021. I resigned from teaching at the school to focus on my own business.
In addition to all that studying and teaching during the week, I occupied my weekends working at Axminster Tools and Machinery in Basingstoke. For 5 years, I helped customers with purchasing tools, demonstrated in stores and events, and gained extensive knowledge about a variety of tools and brands. I discontinued this job role in 2019 to focus on teaching at Rycotewood and my own business.
I like to have a laugh and my videos are quite fast paced BUT you will learn a lot, I assure you.
Lets go make a mess.

Matt! Me and my wife got into woodworking mostly because we enjoyed your videos so much. A million thanks for these sharpening guides. I guess we did it correctly, as we ran out of bandages after going mental on mahogany end grain with freshly sharpened chisels. Maybe do a safety-oriented video on chiselling techniques next?

[@MrChrissy1r]

As a Master Carpenter and joiner, O N C & H N C now long retired , there are no set optimum angles for chisels especially, mine are ground and sharpened to my preferences. this is especially important when sharpening paring chisels as apposed to firmer, bevelled or mortice chisels. So once ground my way a few strokes on an India stone, a quick strop across the palm of my hand and any chisel plane iron knife or cutting tool of mine is sharp enough to shave the hair from my arm,, my personal choice of sharpness test! I have only been doing this for about 63 years so I guess I need to watch more non professionals videos on KZbin, as they clearly know better than a life served master such as myself, and by the cringe there only hundreds and hundreds of them to choose from! By the way , the India stone was one of the very first item I bought as an apprentice and I still have it along with many of my other quality tools that have served me for all of these years. And certainly the only sharpening stone I have ever needed except for shaped carborundum stones for spindle machine cutters.

[@stanleywhiplash1686]

Where is your channel?

[@vincentciofolo2707]

Mr Chrissy, in fact you said you agree with Matt when he explain that you only need a good stone to sharpe a chisel. The rest of the tools and jigs are for us who are not Master Carpenter. And you also agree with him when he explain that the angels can differ depending on the use ( pairing or motrice, hard wood or soft wood etc ….). You are complaining because you don’t need him to know how to sharpe a chisel. I guess it is because he explain it to people who don’t know how to do it and it s not made for Master Carpenter.

Good afternoon from a rather sunny day on in Essex: I’ve been trying to get in to woodworking for a while , with KZbin as my only guide. Up to now it’s largely been American creators with aircraft hangers full of commercial power tools. I’m glad I’ve found you as I was shocked when a chisel purchased to have a go wasn’t sharp straight from screwfix. Thanks for such a great video I’ll be binge watching for a while

[@mattydare]

I'm into my 60's and I was aware that everything needs to be kept sharp to work properly but wasn't aware it was such a rabbit hole! You have obviously been taught by craftsmen/women and have now become a craftsman yourself. Your passion and knowledge is precious. Thanks for sharing. I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet but I've seen old conveyor belting used on the floor in areas where you are likely to drop tools.

New conveyor rubber is even better

[@colinstace1758]

Wow. Been a cabinetmaker for almost 50 years and never used a honing guide or a whetstone or a tormek. Dry grinder, oilstone and my palm as a strop, I guess when you work in a fast paced cabinet shop you get good at doing the basics quickly 🙂👍🇦🇺🇺🇲

[@capnpugwash5403]

Just seen your response, which is similar to mine. I guess the product of apprenticeships of old. I wouldn't decry the use of guides etc, plus to be honest being away from the trade for a long time now, probably these water stones and diamond stones have come to be popular after I would have been interested in buying them.

[@braidsmeetsbalthor7517]

I find myself constantly coming back to this video as a refresher for the various stages in sharpening. Really comprehensive guide, thanks Matt

[@BlackBird-mv8wg]

Deadly sharp... I have watched you for years and I am still so impressed by your unswerving ability as a teacher. Thank you for the video! Merry Christmas Matt!!

[@theofarmmanager267]

Excellent video. When you are in teaching mode, you really shine. I’ve been a (serious) amateur woodworker for 45 plus years and there have been dramatic changes in materials and techniques. Second to adhesives, sharpening has seen the most I believe. For me, the key to keeping a sharp edge (as opposed to setting it when bought new or after damage) is to make the process easy and quick. If it’s easy and quick, then I do it; if it’s complicated, then the temptation is to leave the process until the next time. And the next time. I also use a Tormek for the primary bevel. I then switch to a Veritas honing jig for the secondary bevel. There are 2 problems to that combination. Firstly, it is too easy for the chisel to move from square on the Veritas jig; if that happens, then your edge won’t be perpendicular to the whole blade. I don’t know why but I’ve tried 3 of these guides and once worn, they let the chisel move. Second issue is that the 25 degree setting on the Tormek is not the same as the 25 degree setting on the Veritas jig. At one point, I thought it was me but the ever-helpful people at Axminster confirmed that it was a known issue. You can compensate for it once you know the issue but with equipment costing an arm and a leg, it should be right first time. I also have and use the scary sharp system for when I’m out and about - that usually means some or daughters. All scary sharp is very refined abrasives stuck to a flat surface (eg marble or glass) and you work through the grits/microns. In that way, you have one piece of glass (in my case) about 12” x 6” which takes me from around 1000 grit upto 15000 grit. Very convenient but the abrasives are not that cheap to buy and it’s easy (for me) to tear them when in use. I’ve collected enough oil and Waterstones to re-pave my patio. As Matt says, keep it simple; for a quick re-sharpen, I might only use 4000 and 8000 grit. The Lie Nielsen jig is great but over £100. I have made a series of wedges out of stacked MRMDF and cut on my table saw to 27 and 32 degrees. With a strip of MRMDF down the side of each wedge, I can just reach for the 27 wedge (for a chisel) and put that secondary bevel back to perfection in 30 seconds. As Matt says, it matters not a jot if your primary or secondary bevel angles are not 25 or 27 or 30. Just keep the same angle and nobody will ever tell the difference. It’s not a dark art; it’s not difficult but I would suggest that you will never get satisfaction unless all your edge tools are as sharp as Matt shows.

[@johanneswerner1140]

I really love the free hand approach, two stones (and a really coarse one for grinding), finish on a strop. On plane irons and wide chisels I can feel the angle. Narrow chisels I fall back to a guide, otherwise I create a nice skew chisel for my pole lathe. No power outlets in my basement, so no Tormek for me. I follow Richard Maguire's method ("get sharp series"). But I agree, nice video, great summary, great presentation. I like the no rubbish approach (as always)!

Loved this video you explained everything with one exception. You showed the protrusion stop jig. Most newbies won't know that they need to make that jig. A angle finder is needed. That is the only thing I would recommend adding to this video. Other then that, I enjoyed it alot. Great job. I plan on watching more of your videos. PS I literally dropped my chisle a few times will working yesterday. It's been a while since using and sharing so wanted to make sure I wasn't forgetting anything and found your video. Made me laugh watching it bounce off everything, because I seem to drop mine alot.

[@JonAhlquist]

At 10:15, Matt uses his diamond stone to flatten his water stone. At 13:09, he flips his 1000-grit stone over and flattens the 6000-grit side of the water stone on the same diamond stone he just used to flatten the 1000-grit side. Don't you have to wash the water stone and diamond stone thoroughly to remove the 1000-grit slurry generated earlier before flattening the 6000-grit side? Without washing, won't you transfer some 1000-grit to the 6000-grit side so that even the 6000-grit stone will function as a 1000-grit stone? As a related question, what is an appropriate grit for the diamond stone used for flattening? Thanks!

[@raheslop]

I’ve seen many sharpening videos over the years but this not only made perfect sense but also when I tried it I got a chisel that I could shave with in under a minute

You're a bad man. I own just about every single sharpening system around and have been eying up a Tormak for years. I would have saved so much cash (and time) going straight to it.

Brilliant video. I just started using the local men's shed..... if you ever fancy doing a video filming at a men's shed to spread the word on what you do you could come and teach us how to do this in person :-) I don't know if you have heard of men's sheds but they are a mental health charity to give men a place to go to do all manners of different, hands on things. We are in Isleworth, near the West Mid Hospital but there are Men's sheds all around the world.

[@altuspienaar7679]

2 extra pieces of advice; Instead of making an angle setting jig, one can take measurements with a steel ruler for different tools and angles and keep this info at hand in a notebook. This next piece of advice can be a game changer for many; for users without access to a sharpening system like a Tormec or grinder there will usually be a blade sharpening service in your area. This would be the same guys you would usually take all your saw blades and router bits to for sharpening. I mention this only as an option to resharpen your primary bevels back to a fresh 25°. The fine sharpening of a secondary bevel will still be the responsibility of the user themselves but it takes the pain out of grinding large surfaces or buying expensive equipment in exchange for the price of not much more than a couple of Dollars or Pounds per tool.

[@dustingonzales2566]

"When was the last time you fell a tree?" Lol. Absolutely brilliant point... I'm saving that one!

[@hdjg1]

One of the best sharpening tutorials I've seen. Keep it simple. Works every time. Been a woodworker for nearly 40yrs and I still follow the method used by a 60yr old from when I 1st started, grind, hone, strop. He stopped working 4.30 every Friday, opened his chisel roll of about 30 various chisels and sharpened the lot to razor sharp in in the last 30mins. Quick and easy.

@Chris Tuso Would it be something like this? (inspired from Full Metal Jacket) This is my knife! There are many like it, but this one is mine! My knife is my best friend! It is my life, i must master it as i must master my life! Without me my knife is useless, without my knife _I_ am useless! I must whittle my knife true, i must whittle straighter then my competition who is trying to outwhittle me. I must outwhittle him before he outwhittles me! I will! Before God I swear this creed! My knife and myself are defenders of my whittling trophies! We are the masters of our competition! We are the saviours of my whittling trophies, so be it, until there is no competition, but peace! Amen (And another take on a line inspired by Full Metal Jacket) This knife's name is Charlene!

Excellent guide. Knowledge is power! Thank you

[@SirBenJamin_]

For any newcomers debating the whole free hand sharpen vs honing guide thing. Here is my advice. Start out with the honing guide. Learn what the chisel should feel like and look like when it's truely sharp. Only then! should you try to replicate it freehand. Starting out freehand without someone knowledgable to show you or at least having something to compare against is a recipe for a frustrating experience.

[@MattEstlea]

Great shout, I like that.

[@1pcfred]

Why would you ever want to freehand sharpen tools? What unknown benefit does that impart? Is it something you do to simply amaze your friends? Help me out here I'm trying to understand.

[@johncoops6897]

There is absolutely no advantage to sharpening freehand. It is IMPOSSIBLE to get as good results freehand, since you cannot maintain the correct angle during each sharpening stroke. It's easy to understand... It's the exact same reason you use miter guide and shooting board rather than cutting 90° and 45° freehand.

[@1pcfred]

@@johncoops6897 there is actually an advantage to sharpening freehand. A convex edge can be more durable than a straight one is. As far as who can do what freehand that varies too.

[@rickhayhoe]

A caveat for all who may use the L-N or similar guide: tighten it down tight! If you do so only finger tight you may actually be presenting your chisel minutely out of 90 degrees to the stone. I have that mushroom-handled screwdriver Matt uses, and I should have used it! The result was regrinding to 90 degrees and an extra thirty minutes of hard work.
