Chisel Sharpening Jig Plans: bit.ly/3fELutP

[@user-kl1vf7ii3t]

You show a good original ideas! Thanks! Glad to see your video from Siberia!

[@c-rod1403]

Very straight to the point. I love your voice. No nonsense, senseless, useless talking, love it. Glad i found your channel. Subscribed!!

[@EricK-tb2dn]

Chisel is now sharper than when I bought it. Liked/subbed

[@dervorrichtungsbauer]

Great idea. Many thanks for showing this. Regards, Arne

[@therealsparkman]

And to think that I was toiling over what whetstone(s) to buy, and the cost of them overall because of the various grits to have. After watching this video, you have eased my mind and offered a quick and easy solution to sharpening my timber frame chisels. The beauty of this sandpaper process is, that you never have to spend time re-flattening caused by hollowing of the sharpening motion of the various sized tools. Plus, your surface (glass or otherwise) are always flat. Then, you just discard the used strips and start fresh the next time. Love it! Thanks for sharing! Cheers!

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

thanks!

[@leksey7870]

A great way!

[@tbc210]

I am a big fan of your projects and have followed your channel for a while. I notice you continue to improve the production quality of your videos as well. I hope that you will have great success with your channel! I also appreciate that you create videos in english, which I assume is not your native language. Thank you for that! I just thought I'd let you know - in english we pronounce the word "jagged" as "jah-ghed". Don't ask me why.. english is a strange language. Keep up the great work!

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

thanks for letting me know!

[@SmallestWorkshopGH]

[@user-fx3ir9cd1y]

Ok.

[@user-fx3ir9cd1y]

Cezar eMiclea

[@user-fx3ir9cd1y]

Ok!!!

[@rickprice407]

After a normal use you can likely get by with just your top 2 grits, especially if you add a strip of leather and some green or gold compound to strop on. Compound on the rough side of the leather and maybe 10 strokes and then a few stroke on the smooth side. This knocks off micro burrs and polishes the edge. It can also help to use a secondary bevel of 5° or so that you aren't sharpening (and removing metal from) the entire bevel each time. Nice sharpening jig by the way. May want to look at Matt Estlea's video on this type of jig to see how to make a jig to quickly set the angle on the blades.

[@ogarridoa]

wonderful as usual. A stropping wheel would be a good addition and subject for a new video.. thanks

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

you're right, thanks!

[@juanjoseduran6325]

Un saludo, enhorabuena por el vídeo, esto es afilar con precisión.

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

gracias Juan

[@RK-je9nc]

great video! can you please do one showing how to sharpen drill bits?

[@victorshimovolos1473]

Спасибо

[@davidolson4058]

If you want to test whether or not you have gotten a blade in perfect alignment before going very far with the first sandpaper step: Put ink or thin layer of paint on the blade and do one or two passes on the sandpaper. Stop and inspect. You can determine then if further sandpaper passes are going to be of value. Felt tip pens or machinist lay-out fluid are both nice to use. Dykem is a brand name in the USA of layout fluid and gives good contrast between silver colored steel and dark blue.

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

It is a good idea, thanks!

[@davidolson4058]

A standard machine shop technique to sharpen tools. Same with knives, helical sharpened cutters, like a milling cutter, etc. The stone or abrasive does not good until it takes a bit off of the edge. The rest is just in-the-way.

[@tommylee85]

great! and pretty cheap!

[@vasya118]

Wow!

[@arturpiekarski9683]

Nice job:)

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

thanks!

[@JoeGP]

very nice

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

thanks!

[@EstebanHerp]

Me encanta porque aquí en Costa Rica la gente siempre fabricó suspropias herramientas para trabajar ya que las herramientas salían muy caras. mi papá es un afilador profesional, ahora esta enfermo y probablemente las maquinas que el fabricó me van quedar a mi que soy el menor. son maquinas para afilar las sierras de banda gigantes de las aserraderos las que aserran troncos. yo fabrico muebles para salones de belleza .

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

espero que saques partido a esas herramientas!

[@user-xi8cb5ey5q]

Мужик, ты красавчик.

[@nicstr28]

Seems like the grinder could be skipped and do the entire job w just your jig. Nice vid👍

[@vannan3734]

Good

[@reloda]

like C-ROD said: so simple and none of the waffle. Thanks

[@juanjoseduran6325]

Un saludo, se agradece la traducción correcta al español.

[@user-oi4sl9zy8s]

Всё доходчиво отлично

[@pablorodriguezgarcia7605]

Xa chegou a demostración. O formato visual e moi atractivo, eu vexoo con subtítulos pero gustanme a voz en inglés polo tono e porque solo falta cando é necesario. O dito, sinxelo, fermoso e práctico.

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

moitas gracias Pablo!

[@janakovalovska3143]

Like Your voice Bro!

[@HyperactiveNeuron]

That's excellent! I love this jig. It's a simple design, easily adjustable and to use. I think this is on my to-do list now. One question, have you found the need to modify it to be able to lock the needed sharpening angle into place?

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

thanks! that would be an interesting improvement

[@GWAIHIRKV]

Interesting.

[@user-nj4jw9kj9x]

👍super🖐️👍

[@jamesmcbeath9686]

Great craftsmen. Really impressed with the jig you built. Did you also make the grinder?

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

yes! check out my channel

[@tangowood]

Very precise and informative video. I will recommend your channel. Can you tell us how long the piece of sandpaper lasts with this method? And how much pressure do you use when going back and forth with chisel?

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

hi Morten, it takes little pressure, just the weight of your arms... With the sandpaper you can sharpen about ten chisels.

[@user-bt2ug9sb5u]

молодец буржуй лайк однозначно

[@matthewpalermo4957]

All videos on this topic use glass or stone as a flat surface. I am trying to find something like this but in the mean time would some plywood, MBF or pine work?

Зачёт навсегда жаль что не поймет палец вверх,☝️👍👍👍👍👏👋👏👋

[@T70781]

Thanks for the information. Do the last two grits make a noticeable difference after the first couple of cuts with the chisel? Thanks again.

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

you should try it, the difference is noticeable!

[@T70781]

Paoson WoodWorking okay, thanks again.

[@71PGA]

I would like a link for the double sided tape you're using.

Я в шоке от точильного круга с наждачной бумагой! Это же гениально!

[@MagnusRex4]

cool. thanks for sharing. Is there any difference if you go above 2000 grit?

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

you can go with 2000 grit

[@MagnusRex4]

+Paoson WoodWorking thanks man

[@trevordawson1947]

Great vıdeo.But how does the gap ın the wheel not flıp your chisel??????

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

with these revolutions that problem does not exist

[@kalleklp7291]

Nice job. However, you shouldn't cut down in the stone with that knife...your stone will be scratched and the knife dulls immediately. I also use such a stone plate as a straight surface, when I have to align things for measuring and/or marking (I'm a machinist and blacksmith). The method you use in the video is also excellent for polishing small flanges, ferrules etc.

[@simonecamplani2430]

is there a jig that works with gouges?

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

can serve for some gouges...

[@rickpick9058]

Helpful video! Can the coarse stage (320 grit) of this be done on regular sandpaper? that is, NOT wet/dry sandpaper?

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

you can also use wet/dry sandpaper

[@rickpick9058]

Thanks for your reply. I have wet/dry sandpaper ONLY in the finer grits. Just wondering if I could get by with regular dry "woodworking" sandpaper for the early stages, since that's all I have!

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

@@rickpick9058 you should use plenty of water for lubrication, so I do not advise you to use dry sandpaper. You could also start with P400 grit sandpaper or even more, it depends on the grit of your emery wheel. Try it with what you have

I like your chisel sharpening technique but I am unable to find wide, double sided tape. Can you share with me the manufacturer and type of tape you use. Thanks, LouS/

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

hello Lucky, as I say in the video you can use any adhesive tape to stick the sandpaper. Thanks!

[@rfilianogmailcom]

Could you share the 3d model of your jig in iges or step format?

[@MaxBorges888]

Faz tipo uma plaina com rolamentos com ângulo fixo de 30⁰ que está bom. Não complica.

[@ravenmooore]

What if I have a chipped off top? A tiny one? Do I just keep sharpening until the chisel shortens?

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

yes, unfortunately it is the solution

Wouldn't it be better to use the belt sander for the first step?

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

two systems are valid, in my case my belt sander does not reach the necessary degrees

[@DonJohn87_YT]

Ah!
