Awesome I’ve never considered using my mototool like that but I can see how it would make that process easier. That tip to do the heel first is priceless

[@jaimeramos8124]

Dear Paul Excelent explanation. It s the best to sharpening a v gouge. Thanks.

[@Rufio1975]

So do you think he is sharpening a threading screwbox blade in the same manner? He talks about it but doesn't go into detail.

[@dianemoore2945]

I have been watching tons of videos on how to sharpen carving chisels but your explanation is the best and your technique is one that as a beginner I can do with ease. Thank you so much !

[@simonrowlands297]

Thank you very much Paul. About 10 years ago, my wife gave me a set of wood carving chisels and up until this point, I have not been able to use them as I didn't know how to sharpen them successfully. I really like the rotary disc sanding method (I bought the tool and 300 discs very cheaply from EBay) and have not only used this method on my V chisels, but also on the rest of my wood chisels - giving a sharper cut and a faster turnaround than I have ever seen before. I finished my sharpening with buffing using green compound. There are so many videos on this site advising on chisel sharpening, but this is by far the best for me. A little lengthy video, but worth the time.

thanks for feedback

Thank you, Mr. Hamler.

[@TomDAwn1]

I've had the exact problems you discuss sharpening the V tool. Your video gave me an idea. I have several diamond files and diamond paddle type sharpeners. It took longer than your method but i was able to sharpen the tool so that I could see its edge throughout the process. Excellent results and thank you. Please keep producing more videos.

Just got my first v gouge yesterday, and hadn't really thought about the sharpening experience it would be. Thanks for this video.

[@leonardedgarsr2014]

Nobody does it better!!!! Thanks Paul...

[@philroyer513]

V tools have the bane of carvers everywhere, after about 30+ year, I am fair at it. I basically do what you show, but in the past, I ground the heel after grinding the two chisels. It worked OK, but your way of doing the heel angle first is definitely better. Thanks for a great video

[@mikeodonnell9199]

Great video I learned allot. I bought a beginners 12 pc tool set from Shaaf and now I feel much more confident that I can sharpen my tools. thought I would have to return my 12-6mm V tool and my 11 - 3mm tool to be reprofiled.

[@holry7778]

Hinges and threads are both awesome topics. These are awesome videos please keep them coming

[@rodneykiemele4721]

Excellent video . Thank you very much for taking your time to make them!

[@jimc4731]

Paul, very nice presentation, thank you. As a comment, prior to selling my company and retiring, we made screws such as yours a little differently, that being on a Brown and Sharp automatic screw machine. The threaded end was out of the collet and the thread dia. formed to size with a flat form tool on the rear slide. A form tool with most of the profile behind the flange formed down to the finish size and a die head threading off the turret. The cut off tool had the finish radius to finish the form where the first form tool left off. When the material was stainless steel we had to support the part with a turret support during cutoff. Needless to say there was quite a bit of tweaking involved.

[@walterplummer3808]

Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. I would like to see the wood threads but we will watch anything you put out.

[@DanDan100ism]

Well detailed and explained tutorial.It is a pleasure to see the end result of your practical.As an enthusiast, I am inspired.Thankyou.

[@cluek9780]

Thank you, Paul, for this seemingly direct method-- with zero guesswork! My experience working with fine objects in-hand has been that I'm more steady and accurate if one or the other of the tool/workpiece is fixed, thus halving the possible error. So, I'll be trying your method with the wheel in a vise. To reduce the heat produced, and to avoid losing temper, I'll go slow and wet the gouge regularly.. A great trick-- thanks for the generous gift of your time.... feels like I'm learning from a real Master. NICE CLOSE-UPS!

[@lindaporier8483]

Excellent video!

[@markfulmer8501]

good job with the video Paul. thanks

[@louisnemick317]

Thank you very much for the information Paul.

[@kenhappen2u]

Thank you ... this video was exactly what i was looking for , helped me tremendously

[@tuu5331]

Thankfully grateful I found your post this has helped me immensely great post

[@emandejnozka1369]

Thanks again, Paul.

[@samcooke2742]

I could watch Mr. Hamler for years and I'd still be wondering why I can't make something he makes "a couple hundred" of without help. It might be that mysterious thing called talent. He does have an Emmert vise. That's probably part of the story.

[@grahamgibbons2819]

Thank you explained a lot about V Tools , will try it

[@trentnichols5075]

Fantastic video!!👍🏼

[@devonanderson5039]

Gracias Paul, muy interesante tu vídeo, voy a ponerlo en práctica. Yo tengo un MotoTool Dremel y voy afilar mis gubias. Soy tu seguidor. Saludos cordiales desde Juárez México

[@StraightThread]

Nice technique.

[@tomascastelazo6012]

Many thanks!

[@trentnichols5075]

Mr Hamler, that was absolutely the best video I have ever seen on any type of sharpening. I’m pretty new to carving, and I learned more in this 40 minutes than I have in 2 years. Could you tell me the size a gouge that would be? It looked like what I need and I’m trying to order a V gouge on line, but I can’t tell be the descriptions if the manufacturer/ distributors websites.

[@paulhamler8315]

www.mountainwoodworker.com/ give these guys a call they should be able to assist and recommend a gouge size based on what you are carving g.

[@fordguyfordguy]

WOW Thank you!

[@buckbeans1]

very smart!

[@dixonbeejay]

Thankyou very much 👍

[@adamtoth7474]

I feel like if you have carving tools or similar, then you should have the sharpening tools needed to maintain

[@milesmccoo]

Thank you :-)

[@EmmaRitson]

id watch either video..!hinges or screw threads. and im impressed how that gouge cuts. well done. thanks for sharing

[@reederlyons4674]

Good day, Paul, I appreciate your in depth explanations and insights. I am really interested in the link to purchase the sanding discs and silicone wheel. Any assistance would be appreciated. respectfully, Reeder

Could you show some of your miniature muzzleloaders in your hands in a video? I've become obsessed with them and those 1911s you make.

[@tsmith235]

GREAT VIDEO !!! WHAT ROUGE WAS USED ??

[@paulhamler8315]

The green stuff really fine grit. More polishing less cutting.

[@louisnemick317]

I would like to see hinges made.

[@jayevans6418]

PaulVelcro has two components, tech names are "hook and loop" the plastic side is the hook part, and the fuzzy is the loop. Velcro is a brand name for what is actually called "hook and loop" fasteners. Just fyi. thanks for the videos. they're great.

[@raiderfandew]

It would be incredibly helpful if you would sharpen the sample piece of wood, as if it were the actual metal chisel. Monkey see, monkey do. Thanks for your consideration.

[@user-zl8uj3uq2f]

🤔👍:-)

[@mick1gallagher]

I you ground away one inch of any chisel trying to sharpen you know nothing about chisels

[@paulhamler8315]

I look forward to you posting a video so I can learn.
