Strong compliment Kent, thank you for your appreciation of my work. Feel free to also check out the FB community group, same name as the channel here 😎🔪 Looking forward to hearing your results share with your stone!
You bet, the only major things I wish that could be changed are these: 1 A way to extract the rear feedscrew bronze bushing without having to disassemble the entire carriage, there should be a hatch to open so it can be knocked into the tank of the saw and a new one can then be reamed in from inside the tank. 2, the back plate of the vise grip needs a U shaped catch added for the screw head that is tightened into it whilst using the vise, this would make clamp failures much less likely, I have added this to this saw here in the video and talked about it. 3 the carriage height should be changed or the arbor height lowered 1” so that a board is not needed under stones to prevent them from rubbing into the flange washers and jamming up.
Hopefully Sherman can watch it, also I saw the highland Park channel commented here, I made a reply to that comment suggesting 3 improvements for the design of the machine if you ever decided to make some minor changes that would make user operation better 🔥😎
Have you ever tried collecting the dust from these cuttings and adding it to Portland cement? I would bet that you could make some very dense composite with a tight grain with all that fine stone dust. 9:39 I would add a textured rubber mat instead of a board to channel off waste and raise the offcut.
19:46 are you talking about the groove on the table that the clamp runs in to keep it squared? It looks like a triple sized miter slot on a table saw, made specifically for running a clamp or miter gauge in.
Yes the groove in relation to that t bar that gets cranked down into the metal vise. The modified I added helps keep proper downward pressure from the tooth of that set point into the tray. Does that answer your question or do you need further clarification
Looks like these stones are from rivers because they are all round edges had been washed off for long time. How do you know it is a whetstone? How do you know it’s jasper?
Years of experience and also study geology. Search for my video called specific gravity testing where I explain how to identify rocks on their density.
@@WildWhetstones but sg is just numbers many stones can be defined by using sg. Arkansas stone has different sg based on its hardness so how do you determine it’s jasper whetstone when the is not quarry at the mountain? I am wondering. Thank you for your reply.

Wow dude, you've got a knack for precisely explaining everything you talk about! Awesome work man👍👍👍
Wow. There is a lot that goes into selecting and cutting sharpening stones. Thanks for making this informative video.
Thank you, always a true joy to watch a master work. Now to get my order in.

This is dope! Going to watch the entire video.
Awesome man thanks for the view time!

@@WildWhetstones no I understand what you were saying.
Thanks for sharing !! I would like to know the name of the diamond blade you were used in this video ?
It is a green line agate eating blade by HPlapidary.com
Is it possible to cut jasper by hand?
Yo where you get that mask dawg
this blade is good cut or bad?
What do you think about Arkansas stones
They sharpen great but are easily broken, jasper is a bit tougher and jade is WAY tougher,
@@WildWhetstones thank you for your reply aloha from Hawaii 🤙🎄

@@DeeDee-zq4yn density test plus Moh’s hardness test.
You are a league apart Mr Warren.
Strong compliment my friend, what part of this video did you find the most useful? What do you want to see next?
@@WildWhetstones it was all informative. Whatever there is to come, anything regarding jade or jasper and I’m sold already.
I would like to see the finishing of the stone. Again, thanks for sharing, from Finland, Kittos!
