    Great video!
    My grandfather was a Swedish cabinetmaker and carpenter. I sat on his lap and he guided my hands as I learned to sharpen his chisels and planer blades. That was over 60 years ago and I can still smell his pipe smoke and remember the movements in my memory.
    I feel very fortunate to have grown up when and where I did.

    Freehand sharpening as taught here has absolutely changed the way I work. It's just that little but easier, meaning I'm way more likely to do it early. Thank you, Paul.

    I remember one of Paul's video's years ago when he bought chisel sets at Aldi. At the time there were very few of their stores in the U.S. but I located one in South Florida that had the chisels and bought half a dozen sets. They were 6 bucks a set of four chisels (1/4" - 1"). I sharpened a couple sets (Paul's way of course) and have used pretty much nothing else since. The edges don't last as long as the high end steel, but with a few strokes on the diamond plates and leather I'm right back to extremely sharp tools. So, take Paul's advise on saving money. He is the voice of experience.

    Thanks to your previous videos on this method, I've been using it for chisels and plane blades for several years now - I love it. One thing that others may find useful - I added inlays to the diamond plate board (just little 1/8" strips of wood that sit proud of the board slightly, but not proud of the plates) that act as depth gauges for my honing guide. This means I can slide the plane blade or chisel blade up to the inlay and clamp on the honing guide flush to the edge of the board, and that sets my angle. Great for the event that I need to put an initial bevel angle a new tool or a restoring an damaged/old one.

      I use paper towels. A big roll of blue paper towels from one of the large retailers in the UK. They work fine. If they break up it's because I've used too much liquid. A cotton rag would also work if you didn't want to use throwaway items. I've used my daughter's old baby grows in the past!

      I just run tap water over mine with a light rubbing with fingers. The widow cleaner has soap (or detergent) in it so it clears from the stone readily. Then, I wipe dry (cloth towel) and let sit a while to make sure they are dry before storing. If the stone gets dry before rinsing, it may take a bit more effort to clean.

  • @RealTakunia
    @RealTakunia 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

    When sharpening freehand, note that the Master is not only holding the chisel in the direction of the bevel, but also angled to the side (with one side of the sharp bevel pointing forward). Even though I am a beginner, I have learned the benefits of this the hard way. I wish this video was posted two years ago or I had watched it two years ago. In many videos, they seem to tell you to use your hands as a sharpening guide. If you listen to them, a chisel sharpening mark will last forever.

    • @Paul.Sellers
      @Paul.Sellers  8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      You can still get the internal corners fine if you skew the chisel so the corner of the cutting edge severs the fibres. But you could grind the bevel near the edge if you want to too.

    Hi Paul, appreciate your videos. I made this very sharpening set up a few years ago and I have a question. My stones which are diamond built up metal from the chisels and rust and I can’t keep them clean like yours seem to be. Shavings of the chisel seemed to stick ontothe diamonds and it’s creating a not even surface. Curious your thoughts and maybe how to prevent this.

      Its easy , dont use any water or soap or oil.Plates dont need that since you are removing material slowly,they will never overheat .What you do is wipe them with a dried up plumbers silicone(not acrylic transparent one) from time to time when you sharpen.

      @wdtaut5650 11 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      I use the window cleaner spray as shown. Keep the stone wet (not just damp) until you are done sharpening. The liquid suspends the metal particles so they don't adhere to and clog the stone surface. Rinse under running tap water with light finger rubbing, or an old toothbrush, to clean. Wipe dry with cloth towel. Let sit long enough to be completely dry before storing, or they may rust. The window cleaner has soap or detergent in it so it is practically self cleaning with rinsing.

      Glass cleaner is preferred to water as it's less likely to leave rust on the stones. Something to do with ammonia I think but not sure exactly. The fluids purpose is just to lift the swarf from the abrasive so that it doesn't get clogged, reducing it's efficiency.

      Just go to the five and dime US or Poundland UK and buy autoglass cleaner not window cleaner as in house windows. Usually, it's a dollar or two a bottle and will last 20 years or so. Also, it's wrong to call any of the fluids lubricant. Lubricant is the last thing you want when abrading a cutting edge.

    Guys, as somewhat of a Sellers apprentice, I can confirm that its silly not to get started sharpening freehand right away. I bought jigs at first as I was frightened of messing up and wanted things 'just right'. The thought of being frightened of it now is just silly, really. You'll be getting great results straight away more likely than not. You'll also not think twice about sharpening up on the fly - which is fairly critical to both the flow and results of hand tool woodworking.

    Its a diamond ,one of the toughest materials on earth it has melting point of 3500C°-how fast do you sharpen by hand to achieve that?
    Nickel that is used to bond material has melting point of 1453C° so what are you exactly doing on that plate that needs lubrication to cool it off by hand?
    Dont use any lubricant when working with diamond plates.Its not needed at all and it will clog the plates faster.
    Buy a plumbers silicone (transparent),open tube and let it dry -clean the plate with it as you sharpen.You can use a vaacum cleaner after you are done for finest particles.
    IF you want to be extra fancy you can make a mold out of cardboard in a square shape and pour silicone in ,that way you dont need a whole tube of silicone waisted.
