I really appreciate how clear this video was. The close ups and clear explanation were superb, very helpful. I am looking forward to sharpening my kids tools. Thank you so much!!!!

As a former jeweler who had to file and file and file - never air file. Put either the tool or the dremel (I use a Flex Shaft) in a vise for accurate control, better edge etc. Thank your for your video.

Thank you! I bought an entire studio of equipment from someone who bought it all used 5 years ago from a pro and then stored it. Everything is high quality and rusted and dull. This is very very useful.

[@meredithinserra4670]

Very helpful! I'm still using some beginner tools, but I've grown up quite a bit and have bought more advanced tools.

[@TheJidesign]

Thank you for this video! You helped me to save many trimming tools!

Donte makes dirty potter jokes all the time. Here I make a joke about pulling 6" and it goes over everyone's head. It's all about execution I guess :). Sweet video Donte. I need to sharpen all the tools I have. I've been trimming rock hard clay this week thanks to Ontario's dry ass weather.

Here from wizards with mugs to make to the ones you made for them worth it but will stay for content

Happy new year. And thank you. :-)

[@sharonnelt]

Thanks needed this today.

[@sharonnelt]

Dante could you please make a video of how you made the plaster bat beneath the tools? I need to figure out how to make a small wedging surface for home.

[@janakchauhan]

Thanks I will try

Shouldn't sharpen high carbon steel with a Dremel or grinding wheel, it heats the metal and ruins the tempering. Should hand sharpen all high carbon tools. Dolan tools has instructions on their website. I use a whetstone for mine! Dremel or grinding wheel are good for stainless tools though

[@EarthNationCeramics]

You might have to take that one up with mudtools I got these instructions straight from their website the link is down below. I'm sure they'd love to know that

[@liam1944192]

@@EarthNationCeramics I'm sure they know. It just makes the steel softer so you end up sharpening more often. Not a huge deal on the mudtools ones because there's a lot of steel to go through when sharpening, but the pear and other ribbon tools are thin so can't be sharpened too much

[@EarthNationCeramics]

Yeah I noticed they would start to dig in the tools sooner or later so I tried to use a very light touch.

[@elisabethbue5666]

Thumbs up. It´s better for the planet, it´s better for your wallet, it´s just better... to sharpen the tools you already have instead of buying new ones. I do it with my kitchen knives and scissors too but obviously not with a Dremel.

[@toddwinchester7516]

Could you let me know what camera you are using to do your videos, thanks

[@Kujitpujit]

hahahhahahaha just like past relationships no one likes a rusty tool!!!
