Sherpa Tenzing. Best guide ever! Closely followed by that one of course! LOL.
I spent 50 years thinking that was his full name, then in a documentary, I realised it was his job title !!!
Glad to hear that the screws ended up working.
wow, Reed (JEFF) makes some really nice utilities for hand planes - I didnt get the Stanley no 4 improvements, Im actually fine with my plane as is, but if you got ahold of an old one with a used up iron. I can see why you wanna upgrade, instead of sourcing a "new" vintage iron.
I especially like the use of this for skewed irons, I use my tormek for that, but when you have to do those freehand.. ouch, and the angle often has to be precise, if you are off by couple of degrees on the skew, its enough that your plane will take a bigger cut in one side.
Easy hardware store fix for the o-ring, or opt for two nylon washers with a dab of lithium grease between them.
Looks pretty nice!
Thanks James
Your delivery here was well honed
How are you going to just tease us with that plane at the end!? Lol info we need info! Please lol😊 Also really clever honing guide, Jeff has some really innovative ideas/products
Videos are already out on that one, I believe.
Are you talking about this one. th-cam.com/users/liveYJgt6PbW2Kw?si=QDOZQdafB00WwA2y
Your next sharping video intro joke should be “honing a skill”
Great improvements!
Thanks for sharing that!
Good quick video.
That’s one way to hone your honing guide.
This is great!
Foreshadowing, I love it!
Comment....
Really interesting indeed! Thanks, James! 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I get the points.
I tried to make a comment up above but it went down below. Thanks for the info.
Clever idea. Be sure to check the set screws periodically to make sure the vibration has not worked them in or out.
With a bit of purple locktight they stay fairly well
Good point! I put some purple Loctite on them when I assemble, but with a lot of adjustments this seems to wear off. So a drop or 2 occasionally will help.
Loctite 222 for the win! The adjustment screws are a clever improvement to the honing guide.
Snide remark!!
Aw man, what a cliffhanger! Now I really want that plane. Question - does the M-WTCA ever have events or tool meetups in area C? I keep looking and there's nothing scheduled 😢
There are a couple just across the border in Indiana in a few down in Ohio
@@WoodByWrightHowTo Thanks James. Can you tell them to move one to my neighbourhood? 🤔😄
There use to be two in MI but the hosts could not find someone who wanted to continue them. If you want one near you can host one. The national might be in MI in a year or two.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo Yeah, I see how that would be a monumental task. I wouldn't even know where to start to try and get that going... I hope to make it to the state side for a show, as I've never been. MI would be awesome! Its only a couple hour drive from Toronto.

How about a split washer instead of the o-ring?
Those will mar up the brass. You could use a spring washer. But it is not to stop it from coming undone but just for the feel.
yea split washer seems much better, it also creates a nice tension effect.
I consider the split washer but liked the O-ring feel better. Please try both and let me know which you like better.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo putting a regular washer below the split one would solve that.
How well does that guide work on diamond plates? Shapton plates?
That is what I use it on. the guide actually runs on a plastic sheet you put down beside.
The honing guide is best used if it does not ride on the honing surface as the hardened dowels in the guide will wear as you sharpen. I use a wood surface that is the same thickness as the stone of plate used. The guide then can ride on the wood surface parallel to the stone or plate. Included with the guide is a strip of plastic laminate that can be used so that all of the sharpening surface is used with he guide not riding on the stone or plate.
What do you think of 3 D printing and printers for wood shop?
I have one and use it all the time.
Comment Down Below.
Is that a screw up or an upscrew?
Comment down below
I've been using honing guides for fifty years and have no plans to change that. Sure, I can sharpen without one and get an edge without one, but a guide gives you THE SAME edge every time. In wood carving it becomes very noticeable when making (or trying to make) an identical cut with two different (even slightly) edge bevels. There seems to be a misconception about what a sharpening guide does. Sure, it can act as a set of training wheels for a beginner at sharpening, but its real value is in the repeatability it provides.
I have v 1.0, and I like it. The wear points are worn though when I got it. Was that one used In your first video? Or are the wear points partly worn on all of them? Not that it matters as it doesn't affect functionality.
I will leave that one for Jeff or answer. I do not inspect them at shipping, but I would not expect them to be warn.
On some of the 1st batch of guides I did lightly sand the hardened dowels that act as the guide as the alignment was off. I believe that is what you are seeing as wear on the hardened dowels would only come from them being on stones. My manufacturing methods have gone through many changes and I think I have the jigs and fixtures where they need to be now.

….ok but what IS that honking big thing????
Which one?
@@WoodByWrightHowTo the giant chisel thing lol. what is that for?
That is a slick. For remover framing.

Cheeky comment down below
A sherpa made of brass, steel and an O ring.
Look, I am all for small businesses in our country as much as the next guy but $145 for a guide that only has a small advantage over others of like purposes is a bit much. Searching for honing guides brings a whole world of good tools for around $25 to $75 that will stand up in quality and versatility almost to this one. Justifying that much for a tool that could be achieved by various other tools or by hand and eye... Just a bit too pricey. Love the tool - not the price range.
Most high end honing guides are in the $150-$200 range.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo Agreed there are guides in that range but they are not in the same category considering their added parts and pieces. However the Veritas is at its highest deluxe price at $149. including all guides and attachments. All of the others are cheaper by my searches. Similarly made honing guides to this one fall in the $30 t0 $75 range. Sorry. That is what I can find.
👍
All these adjustments are made unnecessary if you use a single roller in the middle. As it is, there are (essentially) four points of contact- the two rollers and the two ends of the blade. Only when all four are in contact will the guide operate correctly. As cow milkers learned centuries ago, three points of contact are always stable. If you MUST use twin rollers (and I cannot see why, unless you want to roll each side of the stone) then allow the blade to rotate longitudinally. The difficulty of returning the blade square each time is then eliminated.
Skew chisels? No problem.
Good points for blades not as wide as a stone. As I worked through this design I needed a way to hone blades that were wider than the stone and using rollers just did not work for me. That is why I do not have rollers, hone at 90 deg to the stone and can easily accommodate blades wider than my stones.
@@reedplanes728 If you use a (single) ball roller, you can do this too. Just use a material handling roller.
@@Tensquaremetreworkshop I tried those in my early prototypes and I as well as my testers did not like they way they worked. Have you had better success?
@@reedplanes728 I use a single centre roller. All my blades fit across the stone. I have considered a single pivot point on a vertical bar (adjustable height to adjust grind angle) that can pivot longitudinally. Sharpening would then be by sweeping the blade in an arc across the stone. If the assembly allowed movement blade longwise, it means that figure of 8 motion (or any other) would be supported at the correct angle. I must get back to designing that... (I do not believe anyone can hand hold a blade to an accuracy of a degree.) If you are interested, I can share.
