I would like to do this kind of restauration work too, but I don't have a cat. The presence of a cat seems to be a vital part of the process.

You know, one of the things I like most about your channel is that you keep as much as possible even if it is somewhat damaged, but I was relieved when I saw that you bought a new stone for it - that old one had more than done it's time! : )

It would be impossible for me to not to like your restorations, the care you take and the attention to the small details makes your restorations a cut above several other channels on KZbin. Thanks for the upload, from a fan in Alabama, USA

Yes definitely

[@DadzorRules]

These are the things I liked about the video: 1.There is no annoying music; 2. Because there is no music, I can hear, and enjoy the sounds the tools make as you work; 3. You saved as much of the original wood as you could; 4. You used mostly traditional hand tools to do the woodworking; 5. I loved that you used the draw knife to make plugs. It's been years since I saw one being used; 6. It took me back to seeing my father, a hand-tool carpenter, use a hand operated whetstone, and 7. It all was thoroughly enjoyable. I have subscribed. Thank you for sharing.

Where in the universe does one just go out and purchase a new stone like this? Does it perhaps require time travel? Great job on the restoration! I appreciate that you kept it true to form. A rustic looking, very functional tool, as apposed to a work of art that sits in the corner as a conversation piece. Great job!

[@aceystar1478]

I really want to know myself where to get a new one. I saw on sone forum somewhere that some stone companies will make them as many have the equipment but no one orders them. Unfortunately for me i have no idea how to even find a stone cutting company

This brings back some very fond memories. When I was young I used to spend every summer on my aunt and uncle's farm. almost everyday we use the grinding stone to sharpen different things everyday. When he passed a few years ago I wanted to bring that grinding stone home but my cousin not realizing that I wanted it gave it away to someone else. Thank you for bringing back some good memories today.

This whetstone, now restored, looks more akin an art-form sculpture that should be placed on display in an industrial art collection as an icon to modernism than being left in a barn for real work. It has its own rugged utilitarian beauty.

[@mihamaker]

The old stone is usable also. Just needs to be resurfaced. Similar like the new one. Finer grit also,

[@extraSPARErib]

That isn't an old stone, that is some sort of concrete ... it ought be just chucked and find a brand new really expensive totally unknown stone to replace it. What would actually be used? A real stone cut and shaped or more realistic is it a concrete or other geopolymer stone material? I would wager if this was still a common thing to use, it would be some form of concrete or geopolymer but historically, say, in the 15-1600's ... what then? What stone would they source to use? Has to be a sedimentary stone I would wager that too, something that is abrasive but will wear down and still be manageable to shape. Something like a marble too comes to mind ... or a gypsum based stone ... maybe they used several types as we do today have grades of sandpaper to get a rough or polished finish. A lot to say here and my apologies for the rant.

I love to see that you take advantage of old stuff so carefully, even with the piece of wood you repair, fantastic. In Sweden we have a hinge on one side of the tub so we can lower it, the stone must never stand in water then it becomes uneven or oval. I have learned that if you want to get the knife wall really sharp, you have to sharpen against the rotation. Looking forward to new projects. Thank you and good luck Carsten Sweden
