Getting a chisel SCARY SHARP fast || EASY woodworking sharpening method

Getting a chisel scary sharp can be easy and fast. I show you how I sharpen my chisels for woodworking with whetstones to a razor sharp result.
I go over the most important sharpening theory like what is sharp, at what angle to sharpen a chisel and the concept of a micro bevel. You will also learn why a honing guide can speed up the process. Last but not least I will try to get my chisel sharp again as fast as possible.

Thanks for the demo. Worthwhile pointing out if you don’t want to spend as much time doing this buy a Tormek. I wish someone told me that before I did a sharpening class.

[@ifiwooddesigns]

Thanks for showing how it’s done. Have chisels and a honing device, and this video gives me the confidence to use chisels and sharpen them. I’ve tried to avoid chisels because other videos make it look like a long and difficult process.

[@BauWoodworks]

That is so great to hear! Thank you Peter!
It is not that big of deal if you know what to look for. Yeah sharpening ist kind of important but some people really make it too complicated 😉
Let me know how it turns out!

[@TinyBasementWorkshop]

Great video! Apparently I‘m still making a few minor mistakes sharpening my chisels 🧐 learned a few things here 😉👍🏼 thanks for sharing your experience!

[@BauWoodworks]

Thanks! Awesome! Then you can save some time on the sharpening and have more time for the real woodworking part 😄
My pleasure to share!

Hallo:) great video! What exactly is Your flattening plate? i also have shapton ceramic stones, and i heard that they`re difficult to flaten with regular plate for flattening wet stones, because they are very hard.

Without the fumbling around with the honing guide it is more fun, like cycling without supporting wheels. It takes some practice but you can use the whole surface of the stones and sharpen more to tools before switching to the next finer grid. The weight, the friction, the handling and the squeaking noise of the honing guide was the reason I sold my Veritas honing guide after one year of use.

[@BauWoodworks]

Yes, I do see the points for free hand sharpening and I sharpen my japanese kitchen knives that way. The reason I come back to the honing guide for chisels and plane blades is the ability to hit that secondary bevel absolutely spot on each and every time.

[@curiousgeorge555]

good vid. thanks. are there any guide for rounded chisels? i.e. 3s 4s 8s etc

[@BauWoodworks]

Thank you!
Since I don't have any rounded chisels, I can't recommend you any. Sorry

[@curiousgeorge555]

@@BauWoodworks thanks

Hi kannst du deinen Abricht Platte auch verlinken?

[@alexeybudkin9681]

Well. how grit is enogh good for finishing? home вusines only! 10 min at 800 is not enough to shave my hand fur. LoL

[@theofarmmanager267]

I wouldn’t finish at less than 8000. I go to 15000. I then use a leather strop with a paste on it. I keep all my sharpening items on a shelf right by me. So, I just do some work, turn around, finesse on the 15000 and the strop (10 seconds) and then turn back. Making it so convenient means I sharpen often

[@granthart2864]

Yup this is quite a smart way to do it, additionally if you take a peek at Woody Hyezmar's woodworking bible by go’ogling his latest projects, you'll come across very similar and creative plans he is currently giving away.
