Improve the SANDSTONE wheel sharpening with dripping water

Hi my Friends, due to the Tina Briggs comment I decided to improve my sandstone wheel sharpening machine and added the dripping water system instead of the water trough. It's important to learn from people with better knowledge of the things we wish to learn. Hope you enjoy this video. Thank you once again Tina!

Dripped water to make a pasted .... Well that makes sense. I'm glad Tina taught me something new today.

Traditional hand cranked wheels were operated by two people, the one doing the cranking would be behind the wheel which makes the top of the wheel come towards the person doing the sharpening. The knife or axe or whatever was being sharpened is then held with the edge being sharpened facing upwards away from you. The wheel also rotated much slower than yours by about half, but I do not know if this would make much of a difference. My father was the one who used these wheels but he has passed on many years ago, I was usually the one who had to do the turning. :D The wheels work great as they do not heat the blade being sharpened which makes the edge stay sharp much longer. Thanks for the videos.

yes, have also the shaft for hand power, unfortunately my wife don't want to be the power part and son is 2 years old. Most of my vieo sections run 4x faster, but I belive the stone can do the same job if run 2x slower. I have to say I have long term sharpening experience with various medern systems, but this old school system is just something new for me.

Cool

I think that it'd be better to run it through a water bath for a few minutes before starting, that paste doesn't form with a MOSTLY dry sandstone wheel, try letting it turn through the bath for a few minutes before using it, then drain the bath and use the dripping water system, it won't absorb immediately, similar to a whetstone. Cheers!

I have one of these my self, bur i didn't make it, my father actually got it for free from an old man that said that he didn't need it because he meant that nobody needed IT anymore because of all the newer tools and machinery. But ive used it a lot and thinks that you can Get some amazing edges with!

[@tiemebrammer4932]

I love the channel, love the builds Nice work keep it up👍👍

[@make_it]

+Tieme Brammer thank you so much.

[@bku1961]

Perfekt ! :)

[@f.hababorbitz]

Nice welding! I see from looking at your older videos, Czech language. My parents were born here, but their parents (and grand) immigrated from Czechoslovakia (1870s -1913). I'm guessing your Slovenia. You clearly like sharp cutlery!

[@make_it]

+Fred Hababorbitz thank you, I'm from Czech Republic and I'm happy to hear about your Czechoslovakian roots. The reason why I like sharp toos is that I was director of Czech Tormek importer for more than 10 years. Anyway I'm just starting with small family homestead so will take a look at another matters in near future.

[@simonwalter7754]

Four years on, have you decided if dripping is better than the water bath? Thanks

[@uconnizzy]

New to the channel. Great content! Keep it up!

[@supersoldier64]

Great videos! Just subscribed!

[@p-ford6638]

waiting for your next video man 👍

[@make_it]

Thank you, well you can expect the unique axe one next week.

[@p-ford6638]

Michal Kadlec hope to see more video that i've never seen before in youtube. GL

como se llama la herramienta que afila en este vidreo y para que se utilisa

[@fastmover45]

nice very nice

[@make_it]

+fastmover45 thank you so much for your nice comment.

[@tomnelson9545]

Nice

[@b4roni1]

that stone? was it cast in a mold or quarried from a rock? very interested. thanks

[@make_it]

+b4roni1 solid rock stone

[@dmvenberg02]

Really cool can we help you in any way as another yotuber

[@make_it]

Thank you so much, sure you can. If you like than share/rate my content, also stay in touch - that inspired me for new projects. I belive I still have a lot of inspirational projects to be done. Need to build a lot of equipmet for the homestead. For money support you just can help me through my patreon.com account or directly through a such available ways. It help me to focus my atteention to a bigger and more expensive projects.

[@astrazenica7783]

what is the rotary tool with the wire brush end that cleaned up the valve?

[@make_it]

+Adam Smith that is planner/thicknesser for woodvorking.

[@Masterfighterx]

Uhm.. How exactly is the ''paste'' formed by dropping water onto it? If I drop water in droplets onto my Whetstones no paste/abrasive is created. It's created by sharpening. Also, washing it away will leave a clean surface with fresh abrasive. Might even end up clocking it up with all the metal ''shavings'' being ground off.

Darth Vader you got an avatar IDENTICAL to a youtuber channel called Kipkay.

[@pawelaco]

Robisz fajne przedmioty, subskrybcja dla Ciebie. Pozdrawiam Paweł

[@make_it]

+pawelaco super, dziekujemy bardzo.

[@jasonsexton8869]

Nice update to the sharpening rig. I have to say though, seeing you run those parts on a wire wheel was seriously cringey. I hate the things, always end up tearing skin off my fingers. Also: Is your work table an old manhole cover?

[@make_it]

+jason sexton there is so important to be very careful when cleaning things with wire wheel this way. I have practise when made reconstruction of my motorcycle, needed to clean a lot of parts. Yes the table is old manhole cover. Its pretty good for these small projects.

[@ladedk]

So did you notice a difference in how well it works?

[@make_it]

just only the paste which stay on the stone, but not have much time to sharpen up now.

[@ladedk]

OK, gotcha!

[@btrnkocy]

nápadité řešení regulovatelně kapající vody! Plechový hrníček znám v nerezovém provedení, ale to by snad nešlo na měkko pájet. Je tedy z pocínovaného plechu? Já se momentálně zabývám generátorem studeného kouře na uzení. Na rozdíl od Vás (a Jimmy Di Resta...) ale neumím improvizovat a tak trávím velké množství času studiem, abych posléze zjistil, že každé řešení je v podstatě vyhovující... Třeba uzení vzbudí Váš zájem a tak jak to máte ve zvyku, (levou zadní...), tzv. Dymbox vyrobíte, natočíte a my ostatní budeme kopírovat!

[@make_it]

Dobrý den, komentář od Vás mě vždy udělá radost. Tento hrnek je nerezový a pájet na měkko lze pomocí speciální kapaliny. Projekt vzniknul i díky tomu, že někdo moudrý přede mnou nevyhodil ten úžasný kuželový ventil, stejně jako díky nezbytné improvizaci. Díky za tip na některé z příštích videí, ještě mám potřebu motorového velkokapacitního drtiče na jablka, sušky na ovoce..to jsou projety jimiž se letos budu zabývat. Každopádně si o těch věcech dopředu přemýšlím a plánuji, snažím se improvizovat z materiálu jenž je po ruce (toho je ostatně dostatek) a baví mě jak je asi zřejmé používat staré odložené věci.

знаешь вот я из России и за такое тебе бы руки оторвали , потому что это плохая вещь

[@purpleom9649]

The wheel is going in the wrong direction

It doesn't matter which way it's going, someone will always make this comment.
