The Best Woodworking Sharpener I've Ever Used amzn.to/2Wt3tZ2

[@alec1575]

Wranglerstar I have been wanting to make a leather stralp, I’m wondering where you got the leather for the stralp you made.

[@knifeslove8647]

What do you think today from your ezelap Stoans? Did they last good?

[@archibaldthearcher]

This is just amazing! I was recently trying to get into hand push engraving and working on watchmaker's lathe, finally got myself to get some cheap gravers for engraving and square stock to make lathe gravers but I clearly had no idea what I am getting myself into. Getting right degrees is impossible and if you're off they're useless, wasn't even able to work with them on annealed copper. I was looking exactly for something like the sharpener your presented

[@fpfree8821]

Wranglerstar I'm confused. Did you grind your axe so much that it's now just a chisel? Did I miss the axe bit? The axe from the thumbnail? That I thought was going to be sharpened? Because of the one in the thumbnail? The axe shaped thing? From the

[@keithbrookshire]

I just bought the WorkSharp with grinder attachment from the folks at WorkSharp at Blade Show. They are super nice and helpful. I've ALMOST bought it in the past but your demos put me over the tipping point.

[@CainnechK]

I would love to see how it works on that large chisel

[@wobblysauce]

[@ElPhantasamo]

Cody, Please share with us the results for the large chisel.

[@jmquez]

I too would like to see the Slick being reground

[@SMichaelDeHart]

Same here.

[@user-cl3gz9ey1w]

*_ASMR with big one including cutting test before & after_*

[@timbarnett3898]

My dad had fav that was rusted an pitted at the tip. He used water to cool an ground cut blade back past pitted area an re-ground cutting edge your working on. He couldn't fix tip of tool so he just made new tip! Thanks, Tim

[@michaelwilson4339]

I heard Work Sharp where made in Oregon. Maybe you could do a factory tour.

[@spektr540hemi]

They started in Ashland... Southern most town on I-5 in Oregon. Drill Doctor was/is the parent company.

[@alanj7306]

That tour would be awesome 😎

[@loftonharris5632]

Cody, after watching your video about Worksharp’s knife sharpener I immediately ordered one from Amazon and now I have a drawer full of scary sharp knives. I then watched this video and read many of the comments. Tormek was mentioned several times; that’s a great system but entry cost is almost $500. For years I’ve used a bench grinder to throw an edge on turning tools and when a fine edge is needed i use a diamond coated sharpener. But for chisels and plane blades I use the Veritas sharpening guide and various abrasives (such as varying grits of quality sandpaper). To hone the edge I have a piece of leather coated with green polish compound (like what you used on the leather disc). When carving I frequently polish/hone the cutting edge to keep it razor sharp. No electricity required. I’ve used that scrap of leather for 20 years. And it only takes a few seconds. Sharpening turning tools is not difficult but takes practice. Once mastered the moves become automatic and don’t go away even when used only rarely. Your new sharpener won’t really help eliminate that learning process, I’m sorry to tell you. No tool will. Bottom line, IMHO, is that your sharpening system, at $185.00 is likely to disappoint folks who think it will bypass the need to acquire sharpening skills. Even if I got one for free I doubt I would ever use it. It’s no doubt useful to initially grind a flat square edge when you get a new chisel, plane, etc., but the same can be accompanied with the Veritas tool for well under half the cost. And I can’t stress the importance of investing in high quality tools. They last a lifetime. I really like the knife sharpener, though, and thank you for turning it on to me. Pardon the pun. Be well.

[@rexoliver7780]

You gave an EXCELLENT demonstration of the WorkSharp sharpener!!!!!Makes me want to get one!

[@Mrgunsngear]

I have 3 of their products and may add this one as well

[@RobWhittlestone]

Cody what a great video and a very cool tool sharpener. I'm on the brink of ordering a Ken Onion knife & tool sharpener for starters, having watched your review. I love to hear you talk - reminds me of my childhood and people I used to know. And my late Dad and Grandpa. I miss this talk. These days I think a lot of these traditional masculine interests and the rituals around them (like tool sharpening) have been sadly almost lost. I know people in towns who live in apartments and have practically no way to make anything themselves and seemingly don't feel they need to. I need my workshop to make things from wood and metal and my mechanical tools for tinkering with motorbikes, cars and bicycles. Surfing on the computer or staring at your smartphone is very shallow in comparison in my opinion. I think your underlying spirituality, morals and beliefs are a foundation that provides stability and 'down-to-earthness' in the face of so many fads we are confronted with these days. Thank you for being the breath of fresh, sane air that you are. All the best to you and your lovely family. Rob, ex-pat in Switzerland.

[@bwayne40004]

Super neat group of sharpening tools. I had not heard of Wood Sharp before this but I ordered a sharpener and it should hit the PO box Monday. Can't wait to try it out.

[@stringsalive20]

I came to these in the reverse order. I’m a woodworker, and 5-6 years ago I started thinking about a slow grind system. Everyone uses the Tormek... but it was expensive, and I don’t like the idea of a hollow grind on the bevel side. I came across this and loved it. I only pull it out to remove chips or really worn edges, but it’s so much faster than trying to do it on diamond stones, and safer than a standard bench top grinder. The first time I went to their website to find extra disks, I saw the knife sharpener. I really like that too. It’s certainly good enough for my needs in sharpening. There are aftermarket grits up to 6k I think, and various in between those sold by worksharp. One tip to remove the sandpaper is to put the disk in the freezer overnight. It’ll pull right off and rarely leaves any adhesive behind. Like I said - most of the time, I just have a diamond plate and a set of water stones that I keep set up. But when it needs a little more, this thing is a time (and life) saver.

[@atomedgesharpening]

That's pretty slick I've got to say. As a professional sharpener this would also be wonderful for shears too honestly. Many, many things could do well on such a device. Thanks for showing this machine.

[@paulorchard7960]

Sharp is good, been sharpening tools 50 years and have my methods! Your machine makes it easy for the new interest in hand tools and that is a good thing! So many really great old tools have been dumped and lost forever because its to easy to buy new and good enough for one job tools very cheap! Keep searching, keep collecting, save every old tool you can, even if you will never use it, just preserve them!

[@GadgetAddict]

I keep seeing you get things razor sharp and it's making me super jelly lol. I've tried a manual sharpening stone and then a cheapo spinning stone sharpener and I just can't seem to sharpen anything. I guess it's a lack of skill, patience and decent equipment. That rubber cleaner was also impressive 👍

[@alanj7306]

That rubber cleaner was awesome. Worked like an eraser lol 😆

[@omnesomnibus2845]

What a beautiful instrument! I never knew I needed one of these until I saw this video. Fantastic!

[@worstworkshop]

I've had one for several years, and it's a game changer. It lives on my bench. Sharpening isn't a task I set time aside for anymore. It's something I do intermittently, while I work.

[@RockyMountainBear]

That is awesome! That is exactly what I need. My grandfather's chisels have the angles all over the place. It's easy to tell which ones were his favorite. The angles are very acute.

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

Hi Cody, I got my work sharp from Axminster tools here in the UK, I was so pleased with it that I had a look at their site. On there I found a drill sharpening system and Have not needed to buy another drill bit since. Even if you snap a drill bit, and I have done that lots of times, as long as there is enough left you can return it to new or even better than new. if they are the USA dealers then they will have the drill bit sharpener as well and it is worth a look.

[@Lengner12345]

Cody, Work Sharp makes a flat table attachment for sharpening large chisels and plane irons. i have one for mine and i have sharpened a No 8 Stanley iron with it. it is a must have i would highly encourage you to look in to it.

[@beneagles007]

They're pretty good

[@dogsoupblues]

They discontinued the wide blade attachment :( but Stumpy Nubs' Chanel has a video on now to make one

[@Lengner12345]

Well I did not know they where discontinued, I guess I should have checked before saying anything. That's too bad there goes the cheaper alternative to a tormek.

[@dogsoupblues]

Yeah, it's a real shame. Went to buy one, and couldn't find it anywhere.

[@TheRealMozes]

Looks like a must have tool for wood workers. Would like to see you do the big tools too.

[@JimRodgers]

Wowza! That's an amazing sharpening tool. Keep the bandaids handy when you use tools after sharpening them with the WS3000!

[@michaelpfau1150]

I bought the Work Sharp when they first came out about 16 years ago.. I sharpen all the Sorby chisels and lathe tools on it.. its the best.

[@itwasme3298]

Heat sink is to draw the heat away from the Chisel so it don't get too hot Electrical components are attatched to heat sinks... Mosfets, LED's and many other things

[@carlzirk]

Very satisfying getting the angles just right.

[@jamescarter4609]

I have been watching you and other wood workers for a long time always going to a stone to sharpen. I was taught by a saddler instructor to strop your tools rather then always using a stone,. with the strop you a taking off the wire or rolled edge, saving your tool from wearing down and needing replacing.

[@Revlemmon]

Wow that is wicked sharp!!! Getting shavings like a planer. Can't wait see the timber chisel sharp and polished.

[@HOCKEYRULES19971]

LOOKS VERY GOOD .THANKS FOR THE INSTRUCTION ALL THE VERY BEST GOD BLESS

[@TheEaglesvisions]

Cory meant to share they have one more add to the knife sharpener , one is a single band type add to use on free hand grinding, good for hand tools and easier for other types of uses, great series cory, helped, bbh

[@OttoTheWeim]

I am super impressed with that sharpener. It appears it is very reasonably priced as well for the performance it provides. A big thank you for showing this as I was not aware it existed either.

[@spooncarvingwithtom]

Time disappears when I watch your videos! Thanks for another great one Cody.

[@pipe887]

Work Sharp is amazing!!! Thank you.

[@wockh]

I’m loving your videos man, I found you because chainsaws have recently peaked my interest and the way you review things is amazing. Keep up the good work 🤘

[@rickatill44]

WORK SHARP !!! alot a people including me should be impressed with this vid .... now we need to thank WRANGLESTAR !!!!!

[@larryjohnson150]

I said this about the last sharpener but it’s even more true here, this would be an amazing tool to own as a gunsmith! I need to look this up now!!!

[@dougprentice1363]

I just got this yesterday. It is fantastic.

[@TheJohndeere212]

Great tip. I have been using a bench grinder for years and master in using it. But I love what you have.

[@davidclark4390]

Hi Cody, You are the best. I have learned so much from you. Keep up the good work. Be Safe and the best to you and your family.

[@punkrocker915]

I love knives, and I love axes, but something about watching a chisel cut is so amazing. lol gives me the fizz every time.

[@sec8430]

Thank you again for your clear instructions and well-made no nonsens video. Greetings Belgium - Europe. 👍

[@docghines]

I have had a WorkSharp for a few years now, and I love it. However, I have the support shelf that they sell for it, and I keep it on it all the time. I also bolted mine to the top of my rolling grinding/sanding cabinet, so that it will not move around when I use it.

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

Hi Cody, when I first noticed the sharpener I thought to myself "that looks like a work sharp" then you moved your hand and low and behold I saw the label and yes it was a work sharp?. This tool has been made in the UK for years and is the main contender to threaten "Tormack". My Hero "New Yankee Workshop" had one and he even went as far as making extra platans for it.

[@Therealabrahamjoseph]

I'm saving for one now lol.. this is going to change my woodshop forever.

[@jackray1337]

Thanks for this video. It helped me understand how to use my electric knife sharpener with my cheap kitchen knives. I just didn't understand how to get a proper edge on them before this.

[@markattardo]

Appreciate your take on it. Looks great! I'd also like to see the large chisel done.

[@SG-jo9mk]

Just added one more thing to the Father’s Day list! The heat sink has the fins for more surface area to dissipate heat away from the tool.

[@Joeywh053aw350m3Lee]

Me too! Lol

[@LampeProductions_nl]

I love how easy this works!! Only one nitpicking thing, you should put the chisel upside when it is sharp.

[@DIYMyWay]

Very impressive, Cody! I’m gonna have to get one of those. Thanks for sharing this!

[@samanthamonaghan7579]

Sharpening cart, with this and the other sharpener, wheels and belts stored under along with lubes and polishing compounds. Great video, so many things to learn about on here. I tell the youth transferable skills.

[@dolphinfriend1447]

Wow I was not aware of this device. It has been added to my list of items to acquire when i have the funds. Thank you

[@supergimp2000]

Wow! I love my Ken Onion WorkSharp, but struggle with getting good results on chisels. Always wanted a Tormek, but this looks like a great alternative for less money!

[@papageek7803]

I've had my eye on this for quite some time now,it's on my want list of tools. As far as the "heat sink" you mentioned I can only fathom that it is made of a material that will draw the heat from the tool ro help keep the heat from possibly ruining the edge hardening,but that's just my guess as I do not own one yet. Thanks for the informative video Cody.

[@dannyleegrimes]

Thanks for the vid, very informative. Real quick tip on adhesive backed discs. I have noticed over time that when I peel the paper I tend to touch the outer edge and often deposit oil or other contaiminants to the edge and then it loosens or bucks up over time. With care I have figured out how to peel carefully and then touch the adhesive (during application) at least an inch IN from the outer edge. The benefit is that IF you are contaminating the adhesive it is surrounded on ALL sides by strong adhesive and not open to the edge. Make sense?

[@challenger2ultralightadventure]

For woodworking tools, that sharpener is a real winner! Very impressed!

[@kayp8949]

Hey Cody, did you destroy the leather wheel at 13:09 by cutting into it? (just curious, because my heart was in my throat when you moved the knife towards the wheel)

[@MAGAMAN]

doesn't look like he cut into it to me.

[@fahermsen]

Very very handy i can use this beautiful tool. Good luck maybe you will show us the big chisel grind.

[@josiahbeam]

That sharpener looks amazing! Learning something new all the time watching your channel. Thanks for sharing!

[@jinxjones5497]

I've been sharpening chisels with rounded cutting edges. I've been using a little stone freehanded. Then finishing with high grit paper and then stropped. It was a lesson in patience and precision.

[@roBLINDhood]

You are a great Worksharp salesman! This is not an accusation, but rather an affirmation. :) Love your channel!

[@danielwhite7159]

Thank you very much for the review.

[@AllaroundNbackagain]

Man that’s one nice grinder. Thanks for sharing my friend.

[@RockyMountainBear]

They have a really cool jig for sharpening gouges. It's almost like a compass you place the gouge in, then roll it across as you are grinding it.

[@jameslagaly]

Well you got me to impulse buy a sharpener (via your link) I expect it will do great. Thank you for what you do I have enjoyed your videos for several years and expect to enjoy them for years to come.

[@dogsoupblues]

Awesome video. Been using the WS3000 for a few years. Tho it appears you're using the top of the wheel spinning into the blade. I'd recommend you use the other side of the wheel where the paper or leather is spinning away from the blade. One time with too steep an angle and you may cut into the wheel, potentially causing the knife to jump out of your hand.

[@ericfox9648]

Cody I could hear it in your voice ... it gave you the fizzzzzz!

[@alanj7306]

The Fizzzzz lol 😆

[@jfilm7466]

6:39 I can appreciate that result, I just bought a Mora chisel knife and would love to try it out on that Worksharp.

[@billsutherland2128]

I have an earlier model of the Work Sharp, and I cut part of the leather stropping plate by aiming the edge toward the leather. The instructions say to strop your tool with the cutting edge aimed away from the leather, kind of like dragging the cutting edge behind the blade. $30 dollars to replace the leather stropping plate convinced me to play by the manufacturer's rules. Oh yeah, you can also use 3-in-1 oil to keep the leather supple.

[@andybobandy641]

Mam-o-man! "Beyond Sharp" is an understatement! That thing works a treat! I could use that to start over with every single thing I own!!

[@guye7763]

I told you they were good. I have had one for years and love it. !

[@dougbradley193]

That’s awesome! Best sharpener I’ve seen.

[@abro5011]

As usual----I almost always learn something----Thanks for your time

[@MAGAMAN]

I love my Worksharp sharpening systems. One thing you didn't mention, but is very important is to make sure you don't let your tools get too hot when sharpening. This can ruin the heat treating and turn your chisels and other tools into junk.

[@Akimos]

Oh man, I was wondering about this for a while, and now I need to wait for part 2. Rob Cosman is a woodworker, tool maker and a youtuber, he uses a1000 grit and a16000 grit for his hand planes. If you haven't seen his videos yet, go check them out. They are awesome.

[@joeseabert8391]

I just noticed I wasn’t subscribed, I’ve subscribed years ago. Wonder how that happened. I just bought my first home, my tools have been in storage for near a decade. It’s a daunting task to get everything back into shape. Can’t wait to set up my garage workshop.

[@patrickkelligan2875]

Hiya! The heatsink wicks heat off of your blade so that it does not affect the temper of the tool. Nice vid! Thanks!

[@blairellis642]

That looks like it works incredibly well. Awesome product

[@Jackal8623]

Yes, please another give-away! Also, please do a video on the slick. And maybe some planner blades as well?? You make awesome content Cody!

[@Jib230181]

Oh man wanted to see you do the bigger chisel but still great to see how it works.

[@ShelleyRaskin]

I was not aware of this product, thank you.

[@marvinconrad8736]

That looks effortless. I'm amazed.. worksharp has some great products

[@ecleveland1]

Can't wait to see the large one sharpened!

[@locksmithdb5987]

That is absolutely amazing! Just how sharp your chisels are.

[@curtwhite876]

Somehow I have been under the impression that Wranglerstar was a master at putting a shave sharp edge on about anything... And now, it appears he is. Good products, great video.

[@skooterfd]

Wow! That looks like a time saver!

[@hellhammerCCCP]

I got a worksharp knife and tool sharpener after seeing it on this channel.IT WORKS! It took a old blunt useless chinese folding knife and got it razor sharp.

[@donaldbailey8483]

Sorry to be late to the video here. This looks like a great tool to "like you did" keep my knives sharp as well. That is what I first thought of when I saw it. Great tool for chisel for sure but come on... A great way to keep knives sharp to. Would love to have this. Great video. Hope you are liking your new place. God bless you and your family.

[@charlesahon]

This looks awesome. I would love to have one. Thanks for reviewing these tools.

[@jojohnson215]

I've gotta buy one of those! Amazing! Thank you brother for the demo and God bless.

[@BenJones-ib6xh]

The WORK SHARP is great. I've had one for about 3 years. By the way, the leather barbers used was called a "strop". I wouldn't expect you "young" folks to know that. Love your channel !!!

[@floydjustice5445]

I for one would love to see you use it on the large wood chisel. Love the VLOGs.

[@shaolindreams]

I'm terrible with hand sharpening as much as i want to do it well it just doesn't work good for me... So i'm always looking for a decent sharpener that can assist me on the angle and make shorter work of it. Sharp tools are a real joy to use.

[@loganpanjkovich]

I have one of the simpler worksharp and i love it for just making

[@diablohellfire666]

Great video. Make sure to cover the leather disc to avoid any contamination.

[@alanj7306]

Probably need to store it in a gallon Ziplock back.

[@oliverstaley4783]

Another item I didn’t know I needed haha! Excellent video once again Cody!

[@MrWayneploof]

this tool is so nice I will get one thanks for showing it

[@garymccraw1466]

Cody you did a very good on that Wood Chisel

[@anthonymiller8979]

This looks like a great addition for a guy who simply wants to use his tools more than make sharpening his hobby as well. I think if you had more grits in between each step many of the fine scratches would be eliminated and I would also have flattened and polished the back again at each step as the coarse grit on the angled ramp is adding large scratches and still giving a slightly serrated edge. Great review though and I may look into one of these.

[@rexoliver7780]

The tool described in the beginning of the video is a lapping sharpener-Was in a hospital lab and they used this device to sharpen microtome knives-these are used to cut tissue for microscope examination or other tests.Watching the microtome knife sharpener was interesting-the blade is put into an arm and holder that holds it against the glass lap charged with very fine abrasive paste-and then it flips the knife over for the other side.The hand lap shown is a similar device.Its interesting of the various sharpening tools!

[@rikityrik]

I need! Then I checked the price, will have to wait for now but definitely on the wishlist. Maybe sometime in 2023 if can keep food on the table.

[@tfre3927]

Have the Worksharp Ken Onion - love it. I’d definitely get one of these if I had a workshop,

[@bobwayne911]

Great vid - really enjoyed watching the sharpening

[@ZE-zl6xx]

Wow that electron microscope sure is detailed!
