- I have mostly been annoyed with the honing guides I have had so far so I wanted to try something that is simple, effective and works for chisels and plane irons of different shapes and sizes. I think I have come up with a passable solution.
The design for this sharpening jig is loosely inspired by the honing guides made by @richardkelltoolmaker but not nearly as sophisticated.
This DIY-jig is certainly not the last word in honing guide development but everyone can make one and it works quite well.
I hope you enjoy the video!

As my old boss used to say: "Worky, Worky!" Nice job! I *LOVE* that drill! That looks super awesome!
I also happen to say that! 😀 And yes, the drill really was a lucky find.
Gonna try this.
PRO TIP: when cutting threads, put on 2 nuts (tighten against each other) - use the nut as a saw guide to get a super straight cut
Thanks, that sounds like a good idea!
Superbly simple... excellent!! A good tip when sawing threaded bar is to put a nut on it first, then when you undo the nut after cutting it will clean out the thread! :)
Thanks, I hadn’t heard that one. I’ll definitely try it!
This week I was dealin gwith the same issue, I will do this tomorrow. Thanks for sharing my dude!
Interesting solution well done
This has Napoleon Dynamite introduction credit vibes and I love it.
Also, you took four saws to get through that threaded rod? Wimp!
Amazing jig: it's pure genius! 👍🏻 Once ago I made one with all metal parts but this one is simplier and more effective! Thank you! 😊
P.S.: I'll tell you once again: I DO LOVE THAT HAND-DRILL! ❤😄
Thanks!
Need this for my Japanese leather knives. Thanks
That may work as well.
love it!.
The Math equations was the best part!!!!
Thanks! Unfortunately the equations are wrong 😬
Amazingly simple and effective! thanx for the idea, will make one for sure!! Also, with a smartphone, you can use an angle metering app to get the exact angle.
Great, thanks! The smartphone thing is a good idea!
Brilliant, dude! Really fantastic work! 😃
It's definitely the best honing guide I've ever seen be made!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks man! Stay safe with your family as well!
This is really good. The, single wheeled, jigs on the market have indexing grooves
on the inside of the clamp, which never hold chisels exactly right, which makes an
non-square and uneven cutting edge.
P.S.: I would put two nuts on one side, tightened together, with red or green Loctite.
That way, only one nut will move as you tighten the jig.
Yes, good point. The reason I didn‘t fix the nuts in place was that I wanted to be able to center different sizes of blades on the bolt. But a fixed side would be pretty convenient.
That's too simply to make. I will try it. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome, try it!
Great video and great information
Thanks!
So simpel, aber funktioniert perfekt. Man muss nur Ideen haben 👍
Danke!
Great idea, the commercial jigs always wear out the roller, at least your rollers are cheap, available, easily replaced and universal.
Yes, true. The little brass wheels always turned to dust over time.
Gee, I bought an adjustable one from Herber Fraught ready-made for $2.99 on sale! You can't buy the bolts for that price and the body is die cast aluminum. I've had mine forever and I think they may be $7 dollars now, but gee...I use mine for plane irons and chisels. It isn't a fancy jig from Woodcraft or Woodpeckers, but it works-even on a sanding disc on my cordless drill! I made a wooden jig to hold the drill in the bench vise and on slow speed it's a sharpener. I made it myself!
Yes, you can buy almost anything cheaper than you can make it. But then, what would you do all day? Also, it would make a terrible TH-cam video to just order some cheap stuff on the internet.
Very cool !
Great honing guide, where did you get the human powered drill press? It's as awesome as your honing guide.
I was lucky and found a cheap one on a local classifieds site.
Great idea!! Can you tell me what size rollers you used?
Thanks! I’m not entirely sure. I had a few ball bearings laying around and just used a size that seemed right.
Nice job yet again. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Great, thanks!
Tres formidable!!!!!
Merci!
Un profesional de verdad no necesita ningun artilugio!!
Well, some gadgets are still nice!
@@imadethischannel no dudo que son educativos para aprendices
👌🤝🤝🤝
5:20 teacher always said; 'Show your work!'
Unfortunately, someone has pointed out that I got the math slightly wrong :)
Nice
Brilliant
Thank you!
PS the Micro plane was very good 👍
Thanks!
HELL!! it.s so f@ckin easy! thanks alot for this idea!!
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching!
Okay, what is the metal part you drilled a hole in?
Do you mean the brass thing? It’s a kind of hose fitting.
Thank you for a roller an instrument is good. With kind regards to you and your channel «Second life of the PET bottles».
Simple but effective. I think I'd have used a magnetic angle finder on the iron when attached to the honing guide on flat surface instead of the mathematics to find the distance, but im also lazy
Yes, that's also possible. But the wooden jig is good for consistency.
@@imadethischannel absolutely, I just meant finding the initial angle. Then you can use the honing guide with the iron in it to set the wooden jig to the right depth. I also dont know how to do that math 🥵
@@jgo5707 Haha, yes. I guess I wanted to check if I could still do it 😀.
@@imadethischannel your way was more impressive lol!
I downloaded a clinometer on my phone cuz I am even lazier 😅 And cheap
Parabéns gostei
Thanks!
No entendí mucho
Io que fabricó es un afilador , bueno
Voy a tratar de hacerlo
What are the brass thingies?
They were garden hose fittings.
Thank You Mr.Blake
A neat idea! The main issue with "wheeled" jigs that sit on the stone, is that the grind angle must alter marginally. That is something you don't want with final honing at finer angles.
Altering the grind angle is not really what you want to happen especially with chisels & plane blades etc but it probably depends on how much material is being removed from the blade & the stone.
Keep in mind to dress the stone between grinds! It must be dead flat for each use. But only if you're really anal like me!!! :-)
Excellent mathematics too by the way!!! One of those digital angle finders would save on calculations but they cost money!!! Keep the good work.
Yes, I think consistency is more important than the absolute angle. It works quite well in practice. For me the main thing is that it has to be quick and practical.
I like this idea a lot! I think I'll take the idea and run with it. To your point "bilbaggins 1" I believe I have solved the problem you address by not using stones at all. My method is to use either a very thick and smooth floor tile, mine is 12"x12" and 3/8" thick or a 12"x12" piece of float glass. Then, I use pieces of silicon carbide wet/dry sand paper for my abrasives. Fortunately enough the sheets of wet/dry are 11" long so at the start of a session I'll cut as many grits as I will need, typically 1 1/2" wide. I attach them to the tile or glass with large binder clips at each end that overlap the end of the strip of abrasive. Now comes the fun part. I restore edged tools for a local tool thrift shop that I work in and you wouldn't believe the variation in angles I run across. The beauty of my system now and with this idea in the video is you have infinite control over the grind angle. I use a poor man's layout dye, a simple felt tip and darken the bevel. I'll use a very fine abrasive and adjust the jig to that angle. Yeah, I know, that makes for some extra work but when I restore a vintage Witherby or a classic Buck Brothers or Stanley 750's I don't like removing any more material than I can help.To the point of making sure the stone is flat and lapped each time you use it, don't even need to bother. As long as I use the same thickness paper for each step the problem is self solving. And to the issue of the very fine grits say beyond say 2500 grit lapping film works great. I rarely use it because the edges are completely acceptable to my customers. I'll use a strop and the edges are like a mirror and always cut as the customer likes. I have an angle finder but for the most part I don't use it because of the aforementioned reason. A side bonus is when restoring vintage knives the same abrasive work just as well. Thanks for reading my rambling here. Be well and safe, peace to you and yous.

Nice 👍👌😂
Thanks!
отлично
Thanks
It could of been better if you had flattered one side of the threaded bar 10mm flat surface good luck 👍
I’m not quite sure what you mean.
@imadethischannel if you would of filled the bolt on one side the blade would of sat flat with more support instead of blade resting on the threads that's what I was trying to say
Sorry that might not of made sense am tired
@@christophersherratt7299 Yes, I see what you mean. But then the nuts wouldn't hold on so tightly to the threads anymore and the whole thing might become more wiggly. But it's definitely worth a try!
KẾT THÚC BẰNG ĐỘNG TÁC THIẾU CHUYÊN NGHIỆP .......??????
wow i just bought one for 20 bucks lol!!
so the real secret to this is the maths needed to make the distance jig. Shame you skipped through it so quickly
Haha, yes. I was afraid to lose the average TH-cam viewers attention:) I also made a mistake in the derivation as one very attentive viewer pointed out 😬
Hi, that’s a very nice tool, can you make one for me, I could pay you or trade with an pen and watercolor drawing of mine?
The drawing sounds tempting but unfortunately I don’t have the time at the moment to make another one.
Thank you for your answer. I am definitaly trying to make one myself. I guess the ‘flange’ could be the key problems to find. Is there a recommeded size for the bearings?
@NielsTejl You just gave to fund parts that fit together. I think the bearings I used were about an inch in diameter.
You can buy a sharpener at tractor supply for 5 bucks. You can sharpen 20 knives by the time you make that. The tractor supply sharpener fits in your pocket.
Well, thanks for watching anyway!
Knives 🤦🏻♂️
I wonder what a tractor supply is :)
And it's absolutely rubbish..
There’s a reason it’s 5 bucks 😂
💯💯💯💯💯💯👌👍🤝
Супер!
Sorry to tell u that as u are honning the degree of the blade which is not fixed will change d angle
Hey, I’m not sure what you mean. The point of this device is to hold the blade at a fixed angle.
Yes it's true. But nothing is perfect, every stone as it wears will change the angle naturally. Even a Tormek. But it's close enough for jam, and it's a lot more precise than a hand. The wood doesn't complain that it started at 25.8deg and stopped at 25.2 deg.
😂😂😂 nice but I'm not doing all that.... to much work...
Luckily no one has to do this:) you can buy a reasonable sharpening jig for less than 10 bucks ;)
Just for the beauty, the value of b is R/cos𝛼 + r + T rather than R + r + T. The resulting error for d is around 10%. Thanks anyway!
Haha, well spotted :) I realised that I missed the little space under the wheel in the calculation a bit after I uploaded the video. But then I thought it wouldn‘t matter too much. You definitely get the award for the most attentive viewer!

That's a good idea, but poor sharpening job. I can tell by the sound of the paper.
Well, it certainly worked well on the plane 🤷🏻♂️
Q pavada es eso ?
Be careful there’s no patent on the design. I own one of those. I purchased it probably 40 years ago - Constantine’s, I think. Just sayin…
Well, if it was 40 years ago, the patent hat probably run out. Also, if I’m just making one and not selling it, I don‘t think it‘s problematic. But thanks for the tip!

Sorry, I’m taken.
troppo complicato...
Su TH-cam ci sono sistemi molto più semplici
Well, the manufacturing process is maybe a bit tedious because of the repurposed brass bits but I find the principle quite simple.
