Use a permanent marker on the edge before using the stones. It will show you where you have removed material and where you need more work. You can wipe it off with isopropyl alcohol
A couple of points to help you. I make knives and have a jig close to yours. First, use a marker on the edge to see where the high and low spots are for a 100% uniform edge. Second, get a good leather strap to strop the edge after sharpening. It will remove the micro burrs from the edge. Third, get you an assortment of chain saw files from 1/32 to 1/4 and make a second arm for the jig to hold the files to sharpen the serrated edges. Just keep in mind that the serrated blade edge is shaped on a slighter angle than the regular blade. Only a couple of degrees difference between the two but it is a difference. Other than those notes you are an inspiration to all outdoors people. I love watching your videos.
Rotating caster bearings are amazing. I made a bike trailer hitch from one and it's still going strong five years later. It's impressive how much they can take.
Actually most can be achieved with handsaw, file, hacksaw, brace, four drills, screwdriver and pair of spanners. Or even just a few screws/nails screwdriver saw and knife if simplified by making pivoting piece from hardwood (reducing drill needs) and using two short woodscrews for pivot (no spanners needed). With enough time, knowledge and effort even just wood saw, and knife if made from 100% wood (join pieces with mortice and tenon , pegs, wedges...) , more friction but would still work,difficulty would be making the clamp holding the knife strong/stiff AND thin enough...
Very clever, very nice! You do fine, beautiful work Lilly! I wish I could have watched your videos with my father before he died. I think he would have liked them very much. He was very clever and inventive also. We could have done these projects together. Thank you.
I am surprised that you do not credit Young Je for the design of this sharpening jig. He built his jig about a year and a half before this video. and side by side they are almost identical. The only difference is he used machines and produced a much more refined jig than the rather crudely made jig you produced using hand tools in line with the survivalist tenor of your videos. All the best.
Hi Zac, i think this type of sharpening systems are not sharpening a blade on the original angle but on a forced angle and only if the blade is perfectly round with the same radius on the whole lenght of the blade this kind of system will work and i said not this sysytem but all the systems with only a pivot point. If you are not in accord with me, you can make a video to show with the electronic angle meter to show everybody in different spots of the blade it is a different angle and that can damage the blades and messed up your entire angle of the blade because when you haveTHE SAME HEIGHT BUT DIFFERENT DISTANCE, THE ANGLE BETWEEN THE BLADE AND STONE CHANGE, and THATS NOT GOOD FOR THE BLADES. After few sharpening sessions with these kind of systems you will have on a single blade a mutitude of angles that VARY with the shape of the blade, the more curves or chages of a direction of a blade has the more angles you'll have because, LIKE I SAID BEFORE, THE DISTANCE AND ANGLES ARE INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL then as one quantity increases, the other decreases.
great video, lilly! something i thought of while watching you sharpening your knives is, since you have only 2 stones, maybe mount the other stone on the opposite side. that way, when you are ready to switch stones, you just have to rotate the arm around to the other stone.
a couple of tips if you don't mind: - cut on the left side of the vise, that way you can hold the cutoff piece much more easily - don't move the sharpening stone sideways, it will wear a groove making it unusable for normal sharpening - that handle has 4 sides, you can mount more than 1 stone on it and just rotate it to use a different stone, i also just watched a different video on this subject and the guy made a spring loaded mount for the stone. 3 screws and 30 seconds is way too much when you have 10 knives to sharpen and have to change 3-4 stones for each. Otherwise nice job.
this is becoming too painfull to watch. well lady, you trully are a woman .. true and true. only a woman can complicate to that level, even the simplest things.. like: USE A FILE , to sharpen thta blade. .never the less, cudos for the "Lego "game you have created there.honestly , a true cudos for that :)
Hello, don't be bored, sorry, you have to calculate the angle precisely for sharpening, for example, a 20 degree angle is good for a knife blade, you have to use trigonometric functions to adjust this angle to calculate the size of the side of the base, the size of the height and the size of the arm that is the sanding stone. and build the system according to those sizes The second point is to use water when sharpening so that both the blade and the sanding stone are not damaged (of course, there are two types of sanding stones, water sanding stones and oil sanding stones). Good luck
Great idea to use a rotating wheel, but why did you glue those washers to the wooden block? - just take hardwood, drill a slightly oversized hole, chamfer and smooth it and wax the inside - doesn't make that sqeeky noise, I would go nuts on it.
You might try a linear bearing for the rod guide. This will work well, but mine used to squeal if the metal got rough. I had the bearing in my 3d printer stuff, and popped it in. Nice and smooth. I always grind toward the blade, and alternate forward and backwards at an angle. The stone makes grooves, and changing the angle rips those off. Good for removing a lot of metal when you need to. Leather or canvas, and polishing compound and strop the shit out of the blade.
counterbore first then drill hole. use a countersink for flat head screws, not counterbore. for flat head screws you drill first then countersink. you’re getting a burr when sharpening because you’re dragging the stone away from the edge. push the stone towards the edge, and you will not get any burrs.
В России принято нож точить " навстречу "лезвию,так металл не растягивается на кромке. Бумагу нужно резать медленно и без остановки проводя каждым миллиметром по полотну снимая макро камерой.За идею 5 из 5 ,за реализацию 3 из 5
I like it, very ingenious. I use a Lansky for my pocket knives, which is similar to what you made. As some other people have suggested, I use a sharpie on the edge to see exactly what I am taking off and where. Also always run your stone against/towards the edge, lift up and repeat, instead of going back and forth, or at least that’s the way I have always done it. Mineral oil, or something similar helps to.
Ich glaube fuer gute Klingen ist nie ca. 300-400 Euro zu Schade. Sicher ist die eigene Erfindung etwas wert, jedoch es bleibt immer DYI wenn keine industrielle Maschinen hat. Die Zeit für eine seriöse anschaffen kommt sicher noch.
Nice jig. With a little more work I imagine you could come up with a mount that holds 2 or 4 stones (so you just rotate the rod to use a different one).
Hi Lilly. You did a remarkable job in this video. A lot of work no doubt. Thanks for the video. Nice workshop too. It is very important to keep all our survival knives sharp and ready. Thanks a lot.
Hello, Lilly; Good video, & good design. Use a phone app, ( I have Rotating Sphere Inclinometer ) to check the angle of the blade. Then check the angle of the stone-holder, subtract the blade angle from the holder angle. The difference is the angle your knife is sharpened at. Have a GREAT day, Neighbor!
Great video thanks! I never realized that you are such a handy girl! And you have a well equipped workshop! Also it's the first time I noticed your beautiful hands! 👍🖐️
As someone who utterly sucks at sharpening his swords, that might come in handy. Unfortunately, I also suck at crafting stuff. Time to ask someone about it!
If you were to attach a piece of 1/4" plywood with a series of jig- zagging holes the same size as your guide rod, you would be able to change the angle of your cutting edge, by using the next highest, or lowest hole in the 1/4" plywood. You may have to remove the top half of your castor-stand, in order to sharpen finer edges. Use a candle, rubbed around the inside of each hole, to stop chatter, and sticking. If you make the hole board tall enough to get 30%, it will work on chisels, and planer blades. Hope this helps.
My dear you are the most awesome woman I've ever seen. Survival skills, wood working skills and you look great too. This makes you a great woman. If you only played guitar too then you'd be the perfect woman. lol. Love your videos...
Thanks for watching this video. You will find the sharpening stones and my knives here: www.survivallilly.at/
Would you be kind enough to share the blueprint?
Have a great day and take care.
Where did you get your work table from ??
When will your knives be back in stock I want to buy a few for my kids and i
I used to use stone as a knife. A use and throw stuff.
Use a permanent marker on the edge before using the stones. It will show you where you have removed material and where you need more work. You can wipe it off with isopropyl alcohol

"Ferb i know what we're gonna do today."
😂
I would like to see a shop tour.
Yours looks compact and we'll equipped.
Just a suggestion. Towards the blade. I've been sharpening blades for over 30 years. A honing tool is also very good after.
I get a great edge doing this but it seems like at some point I start shaving off the stones. Is that normal?
I would make a second holder so each stone has separate one,
Or, redesign the end piece and have the second stone on the opposite side. Hold both at the same time.
Was going to suggest the same thing
Hi
Rotating caster bearings are amazing. I made a bike trailer hitch from one and it's still going strong five years later. It's impressive how much they can take.
Looks cool, but all that tool used to make that are not cheap 😅
most of that can be achieved with nothing more than a vice, hand saw, pistol drill, etc... It would just take a little longer
Actually most can be achieved with handsaw, file, hacksaw, brace, four drills, screwdriver and pair of spanners.
Or even just a few screws/nails screwdriver saw and knife if simplified by making pivoting piece from hardwood (reducing drill needs) and using two short woodscrews for pivot (no spanners needed).
With enough time, knowledge and effort even just wood saw, and knife if made from 100% wood (join pieces with mortice and tenon , pegs, wedges...) , more friction but would still work,difficulty would be making the clamp holding the knife strong/stiff AND thin enough...

You are amazing... Your skillset is growing each day... Cool video thx
Professional knife sharpening costs $1.00 per inch in many locations here (Texas)..but it’s fun to sharpen our own knives when needed.
Lilly, you are definitely a sharp woman! ( No pun intended!) Its good to see a woman doing building something so mechanical!
Hi Lilly, this self-made tool is interesting, and congratulations on your manual skills. Greetings from Italy and super LIKE.
👍👋
You're just sharpening short KNIFE. How about longer KNIFE? About 10 or 12 inches.???
Ist ja cool. 😎 Also sowas habe ich noch nie gesehen. Was du immer für coole Ideen hast. 😊
So what do you normally "gut & clean?" Old white humans, I hope. Of course they (apparently?) have few guts. And yes, I'm an old white human. Dang!
this is becoming too painfull to watch. well lady, you trully are a woman .. true and true. only a woman can complicate to that level, even the simplest things.. like: USE A FILE , to sharpen thta blade. .never the less, cudos for the "Lego "game you have created there.honestly , a true cudos for that :)
Wow of Lilly so handy ya ty for sharing my beautiful spirit sister love it ya ❤3✌
Stop & Go ! You drilling like a chicken.
Nice project and craft(manship)
Thanks for showing Lady
That was pretty cool!

Woman aren't aloud to do this stuff in America. If she were American she would have to be modeling. Or arguing ignorant politics
Nice job I need to make one. I find knife sharpening very relaxing. This jig makes it easy for anyone to sharpen perfectly. Thank you🙂🇺🇸 stay healthy!
Lilly you ist one amazing woman - i'love your video !!!! Gongrats !!!

You know all the other sharpening jigs have accurate placement for degrees to sharpen. Did you not think about this?

เป็นผู้หญิงที่สวยเก่งมากสุดยอด,
Please wear leather gloves so you don't cut your self, great job thanks Lilly
This was an awesome video. A wee break from the norm but highly entertaining. Brilliant build and exact angle on the blade every sharpening.
Could you please share the dimensions of the grinding machine?
Awesome video very helpful thanks
I'm always amazed by your talents :-D you really have a huge amount of really useful and practical knowledge. Your workshop and tools look great!
This looks great. Will cover many different tools including garden tools.
Very good idea. I think I'll build one
if you need a jig then you are not doin anything but trying to sell stuff,lol a real hunter knows how to sharpen a knife
Very cool, can I have the measurements pls. Thanks
Boa tarde nossa eu queria muito um desse pra mim afia minha faca sou do Brasil acompanho seu trabalho pelo seu canal
Can you share the dimensions of the product?
Can you share the dimensions of the product?
Super Arbeit.👍
Hast du eine Liste vom Material die du genutzt hast und die Maße dazu???
Sehr coole Idee! LG Felix
Nice job 👍👏 , your shop is awesome , looks like you have everything you need ...😉😎🍀🇺🇸🍍
Вариант неплохой, но угол заточки как выставлять?
Are you interested in sizes? Sincerely, Béla
Nice 👌kleiner Tipp mach dir ein 2tes Holzteil mit dem Diamant Schleifstein dann brauchst nur kurz eine Schraube lösen und fertig 😜
Has anyone made one of these for a machete or a sword?
Ölçüleri paylaşırmısınız
Super.
Who needs this?
Easily done freehand.
I was like "whoa" with this video. Multi-talent. I admire that
Hello, Lilly;
Good video, & good design.
Use a phone app, ( I have Rotating Sphere Inclinometer ) to check the angle of the blade.
Then check the angle of the stone-holder, subtract the blade angle from the holder angle.
The difference is the angle your knife is sharpened at.
Have a GREAT day, Neighbor!
Oh no that was such a fine job to use a dry stone. Cringe
Any measurements at all or just use our own judgement.

No tienes ni idea, “ Rompetornillos”
Clever design :)
Great video thanks! I never realized that you are such a handy girl! And you have a well equipped workshop! Also it's the first time I noticed your beautiful hands! 👍🖐️
You should use lm 08 uu instead of two washer.
Creative idea though, but I think I will continue using the bottom side of a dinner plate for sharpening knives.
"Every corner"? Those are round...
🤔😉 thank you 👍
Very nice Lilly. Good problem solving skills.😊
Brillian idea 👍
nice to have IKEA spare parts
As someone who utterly sucks at sharpening his swords, that might come in handy.

Very nice jig and build. Love the clean and tidy workshop. May I suggest a band saw to make you more efficient. Greetings from Sydney
Australia.
Nice work, a bit big, but still nice
Well done !!!
That's Brilliant Lilly
Where do you by the stones thanks
Lilly. Your some cookie and very clever carpenter. Joiner. Wow. Never thought of restoring an old motorcycle?you have the hands for it.
Very nice jig & very accurate. Nice work.
Incredibly over engineered.
Looks awesome does it do or get the job done
👍👍👍👍
My dear you are the most awesome woman I've ever seen. Survival skills, wood working skills and you look great too. This makes you a great woman. If you only played guitar too then you'd be the perfect woman. lol. Love your videos...
Good work
💪🏻
👍👍
♥ I told everyone that you want Survival Lilly around in a Zombie Apocalypse ...lol. I'll help hook up the micro hydropower generators.
bruh just learn to use a file/sharpening stone. i get mine sharp enough to shave with.
Good for you.
