A simple shop made (DIY) setup jig for your sharpening guide is an inexpensive luxury that can also improve your woodworking skill set. Plus it makes using a guide so quick and easy you'll end up turning to it more often.

You’re someone I look up to a lot. I hope your increase in videos pushes those numbers. Proving that tutorial/educational videos are not dead on TH-cam. I think you’re the best there is now. Seeing your various bench cleats makes me want to make more right now.
Everyone says to look at the reflection in a saw cut and it made no sense until I saw your crosscut here early on in the video. Just wanted to say thank you as I finally know what it means to look at the reflection to keep the saw plumb!
A piece of inexpensive rubber shelf liner from the dollar store under your sharpening stones will hold them in place so you aren’t chasing them across the bench. Works great for assembling and other work on finished surfaces. Double sided tape or a dab of latex caulking holds in place, and it is easily replaced if needed. The setup blocks are a great addition to the shop. How are you liking the new clamp / sharpening tool? Added to the arsenal but haven’t had time to test yet. Looks well thought out. Enough to replace the Eclipse Clones?
Another great video! I really appreciate your ability to teach! You’re very gifted in how you explain things! Thank you for your contribution to the craft!
Great video...
Love the TFF videos! Thanks so much!
Good video!!! I liked the way you have sharpen the card scraper. I am using the Veritas mk2 it is set for 25 it didn't come cheap but i got more consistent edges with my chisel and plane blades than the simple honing guide. But for me it was a waste of money with the Veritas mk2 for the chisel additional jig because it didn't hold my chisel well due to the geometry of the chisel sides walls.
Fantastic and thanks its a School day every day in wood working Robert G. In Scotland UK.
Hmmm...I recently bought the same Veritas honing jig. It came with two guides, one shown in metric, one in Imperial measurements. Yours did not? Also, I did as they suggested, copied it 1:1 and glued the guide to my own wood.
Interesting, i have the same jig and the instructions are in imperial instead of metric.
i really enjoy your videos. And being from Canada, Lee Valley gets a lot of business from me. Metric rocks :)
You are always such a good demonstrator. I wish I could still support you on Patreon, but covid is easing restrictions here a bit, and work is starting to dribble back in. Hopefully soon I can afford to resupport your channel. In the mean time, thank you so much for making such good videos.
Good to meet you here! And no great surprise :^)
Thank you for an education. It is timely too. I'm considering the new LV guide. I have a similar sharpening system but stopped at the DMT 4000 plate. I read that the 8000 plate was prone to clogging. Since I respect your example you have me rethinking the 8000 plate.
Hey Shawn, Good to see ya! Anyhoooo I use calipers to set depths I find it easy and accurate for plane blades and chisels and is a little work to set correct however your depth blocks are faster! I totally give you that but to me seams easier with calipers wood does expand and contract of course not sure I want to try the blocks though simply because a few thousands can take a bit longer on sharpening. Just my input. What do you think takes time sharpening if your not at a precise angle?
I gotta get one of them honing guides 😁🤙
Well done ... I love watching someone that really knows how to use fine hand tools.
I've been eyeing Veritas' new side clamping guide and was wondering if you've had a chance to use it much yet? I really like how they've addressed some of the original design issues ... I have fairly high hopes for it.
I look forward to your impressions after using it.
As always, thanks for your time and efforts ... Cheers, Dave
im sure some one already did this but: "always plan for your incompetence"..... sound advice to the diesel dads and the oldschool mechagrands out there. God knows we need you to pay attention.
If you happen to have one of the inexpensive digital angle cubes (I do recommend getting one; they're cheap and accurate -- the easiest and most consistent way to set up a saw bevel there is, I think), then you can just pick a handy flat surface, zero the gauge on it, put it on the back of a chisel in the jig, and adjust the jig until the gauge is showing the desired angle. The edge of the chisel is now your marking gauge; scribe your line against that and you're ready to cut. No metric conversions :).
Hi, do you have a video of making the knob that you use to tighten and loosen the jig, if so could you please tell me what the name of the video is so I can find it
Those protrusion jigs don't seem to help for me. Each of my chisels, and plane blades are a different thickness. So 25deg on a thinner blade is a shorter protrusion than 25deg on a much thicker blade. If I was to use the same protrusion jig, I'd get different angles. If it was just the angle that was slightly different, I wouldn't mind. No big deal. But would mean countless hours getting the thicker blades ground the first time. So I have a few 25deg protrusion jigs for different thicknesses of blade. It's a PITA to be honest.
I wouldn't stress it. Close is good enough here.
even if your blade is 4mm thicker, it's going to be less than 3 degrees difference in angle. It's not going to be difference that makes a difference.
@@allenwc I did say I wasn't concerned about the angle being different. The problem is the amount of material you have to remove on the initial sharpen.
