Very simple and effective jig. Many men would have edited out the flying offcut, I'm sure everyone appreciates your honesty.
Just in case anyone reads this comment, I have one of these planer (jointer) knife jigs made by Steve himself as a gift, it's the one with the nylon screws in, I've had mine quite a while, so it must have been one of the "early models" (lol), works a treat anyone with multiple sets of knives should make one for themselves to keep them honed when not in use.
How does this video only have 200 thumbs ups? Should be way more. Fun video. Enjoyable personality.
As it happens, I agree with you :) There is no rhyme or reason to which videos get seen and liked and which don't. I have 13K followers, yet many videos only get a few hundred views, let alone likes. I do not understand TH-cam's algorithms at all.
Thank you very much for your support, it's much appreciated.
@@SteveMaskery ehhh, thank YOU for the content! I'm currently soaking up different options for sharpening my blades and this video was the most enjoyable, thanks to your down to earth comedic approach and explanations along the way.
I am just learning about table saws (Age 68) had heard about kick back now I know what it is. Thank you.
You could polish the cutting edges even sharper by placing cutting compound on a sheet of leather and using the same as your emery cloth. Be careful to move the blade away from the cutting edge on the leather.

But seriously, thanks for the idea for the jig, and the lesson in safety.
Thank you Steve I’m going to build a jig now 😊
Good Morning Steve! Thanks for the excellent idea of that jig. Left my comment on the flying debris already under the other video 😉. Here I have a question on the honing itself: Are you actually using P80 and P120? My blind guess would have been around P240 for a start and P320 or P400 for the fine polish. I might even think about P600 wet paper. Am I overdoing or is there perhaps a difference between the UK and the German sandpaper in terms of coarseness (like metric and imperial)?
Cheers
Andreas
BTW I just recognized, that your table saw is named "Excalibur" - that explains everything...
Hi Andreas. You can go as high as you want, but I am just trying to remove the "cross-grain" grinding marks. A chisel or plane iron is sharpened by pushing the edge forward, so increased smoothness makes more of a difference, whereas these knives are pushed sideways, so longitudinal scratches have much less effect. But go as high as you like, yes. P120 is the same in Germany and UK.
Nice tip, thanks.
Very helpful ol Chap, will give a go!!! thanks :)
Gr8 job thank you😇
Just to let you know the first bevel is the PRIMARY bevel and the second or relief bevel is the secondary bevel. I used to sharpen and make tools.
Many thanks Steve, excellent as always and I’ll certainly be making both those jigs. Just one question, I thought your choice of paper was a bit rough. I would have finished on at least 240 and then polished on a 400 or 600.
You can go as high as you like, but the scratches are longitudinal, so they don't matter as much as they would on a chisel or a plane iron.
I try not to make angled cuts if I can find another method such as with a bandsaw .
I got a jointer free from the side of the road and the blades have a knick in them. Can that be sharpened out or do I need to just replace them?
That depends on how bad they are. If it's a small nick and just one, you can hone them up and when you put them back in, offset them very slightly so that the nicks are not in line. But if they are badly nicked you may be able to get them reground. Note that there is a limit to the re-grinding process, some machines have a minimum width that they can hold.
