Sharpening Station

A sharpening station should help me keep my chisels sharp. Trend kindly sent me a Dimond stone to use.

Fantastic video this one. Have been wondering how to sharpen chisels and plane blades and this method looks the beeswax. Thanks

[@David.M.]

Very nice, thanks for posting.

[@geoffreycoan]

2:47 Set the grinding wheel 40cm in ? Gonna need a bigger workshop for that big grinding plate 😂

[@David-il6hn]

Good simple idea. Need to do something similar.

[@lesthiele4921]

Hi Matt, that was a reay simple and easy item to make, great work, bedt regards from a Kiwi living in Australia

[@gavbansal967]

Very good idea with that you built in the 40mm gap setter for the honing guide. Nice one.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@Ginwood]

Genius idea, soz, gonna nick that as I need to make a new base for my plates

[@samwinsley9529]

You have to love a simple solution to a horrible problem!! This is one of those.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you very much

[@MCsCreations]

Matt, you're a genius! You just saved me a big piece of 4mm plywood I was going to cut holes for the diamond stones! 😂 Now, instead of doing it, I'm going to use thin strips of wood, like you did! 😃 Thanks a bunch for the idea! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@peterpaliwoda1527]

Your the sharpest tool in the box

[@Badgerworkshop]

Haha thank you

[@matthewbutcher5295]

I made exactly this setup a few months back with a rozsutec stone with strop. Is hanging on the wall in my workshop. I have water stones for if a chisel is really bad, but the effort to go into the house and soak them, made me not bother as often as it needs to be done. This has worked really well for quick sharpening whilst on a project.

[@James_Gower]

Wouldn't be a badger workshop video if matt wasn't being gifted something! Haha

[@craftygriffo]

I liked the built-in protrusion stop at the front for chisels. I would also put one at the rear for plane irons. Oil on a diamond stone struck me as an odd choice. Paul Sellers, Rex Krueger and others all use cheap window cleaner. Much easier to clean up afterwards.

[@bigpete4227]

I’ve got a honing guide and diamond plate similar to your old one. I hate sharpening chisels, I have no excuse though.

[@srh1101]

Nice work Matt. Nothing better in the world of sharpening than a sharp tool gliding through wood producing ultra fine shavings 🙂

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you. Sharp tools do make life so much easier

[@andyc972]

Anything that makes it easier to reach for the stones and sharpen your blades before they get too dull is a good thing, hope this works out well for you Matt !

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@shaun30-3-mg9zs]

Hi Matt, a good project build we do need to look after our chisels and a sharpening station is needed. I watch one being made by David Gladden from Almond Bank Workshop from Dumfries it is a few years old the video and good to watch. As always great video, Take care👍

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@dougsaunders8109]

I bought one of those plates last year I am really pleased with it. The larger size makes it great for plane irons and chisels. One thing to look out for is with the side clamping guides the chisel shoulders need to be the same on both side otherwise your bevels come out lopoy. Don’t ask how I know 🙈

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you. I will check that

[@quirkygreece]

Did you have to break the stone in first? And did you need to polish the back of the chisel?

[@steve.-007]

Good video but a few mistakes I’m afraid mate. You shouldn’t put oil on a diamond stone ,it will clog it, use water or lapping fluid and make sure you dry it after use. Second thing is you should keep the 25degrees as your primary bevel then hone to 30 degrees ,will last much longer,hope you don’t mind me mentioning these things👍

[@awantamta]

Great, simple project

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@ChrisMurley]

I find car glass cleaner a better lubricant. The household stuff can cause rust on the plate.

[@Badgerworkshop]

I will give it a try

[@davidtimperley4241]

Great video, but don't use oil on a diamond stone, it will clog the diamond plate. I used cheap supermarket glass clears for years and it works like a charm.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Good tip

[@fumthings]

i was wondering if any of Matt's projects ended up being 10:1 scale...

[@patriciamay638]

Another basic tool modification. Thanks.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@stephenhall9592]

Think you’re better using water.a great idea putting it on a baking board

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@adammono1839]

Nice! Is there a benefit to using contact adhesive direct to the wood rather than doing the finish all over first?

[@Badgerworkshop]

Oil takes dates to fully cure

[@BrainFizz]

Surprised you didn’t get them to send their lapping fluid…, thats what you use on diamond plates, instead of oil.

[@athmostafa2462]

Just use water instead of oil , enjoy woodworking 😊.

[@andrewknots]

Strop, was that smooth or rough side up? Thanks!

[@Badgerworkshop]

Rough side up

[@Cessna172G]

Nice video, but NEVER EVER apply oil to a diamond stone. It clogs up the diamond pores and renders it less effective. Use on water to help clear away the filings. Oil on stones only and water on diamond stone.

[@chrisb2443]

Trend actually recommend their own lapping fluid which is petroleum based…designed to evaporate and not leave residue on the stone. Using water can cause rust and ruin the stone.

[@Cessna172G]

@@chrisb2443 I use water on mine, and there is rust but that’s the metal filings rusting if I don’t wash it properly. The block itself is aluminium so that doesn’t rust.

[@MattMakesMess]

I always add oil, I find it makes it more effective (much more than water).

[@chewbacca8748]

I use Glass cleaner

[@alastairmackay4589]

Nice bench hook for sharpening! Gonna make me one!

[@thetalkingdonkey07]

You didn't check the backs?

[@120woodcraft]

Is 1000 grit enough? Recently watched a few sharpening vids and they go up to 8000…. Some recommend 3000 as a minimum.

[@BrainFizz]

If the chisel is sharp, then the grit number you go to is irrelevant…… also the leather strop does the work for the high grits.
