You are by far one of the best teachers on TH-cam. As a new woodworker who is just gaining confidence, you make us feel at ease. Thank you once again!
Awesome to hear!
The knife sharpener arrived quickly and in good condition th-cam.com/users/postUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ I was happy to see that that packaging was easy to open. I did not need a chain saw to get into the package.The sharpener was smaller than I expected but that might turn out to be and advantage because it will be much easier to store than my old sharpener. The instructions on the package were simple and concise; perfectly adequate for this product. I liked that the two slots were labeled with "Course" and "Fine" on both sides of the sharpener. Now, how does it work? It's fantastic. A few swipes of the knife through the two slots and the knife was sharper than when it was new. The rubber surface on the bottom held it in place while sharpening. I thought the small size might be a problem but it was not a problem at all. In fact, I prefer it to the larger sharpeners I have used in the past. On top of that, the small size makes it very easy to store.I love it and highly recommend it.
More awesome content from the world's most amazing multi tasker. thanks for sharing.
Thankyou very much Tamar for explaining about closing up the frog gap to help with tear out. Now I know why it's adjustable.😄
Nice job. I appreciate Paul Sellers and his simplistic style myself. Thank you
This is one of the best sharpening videos I've seen. Most make it overly complicated. Yours is very well done.
Glad you think so!
Nice sharping tutorial probably best ever.
OMG! That last bit where your being asked to make dinner while your doing something, I can absolutely relate. It seems to be when you are always in the critical part of what your doing; or when you finally get set up and are ready to get down to actual work. The things kids bring to our lives!
Haha during a glue up is the worst! 😂
Great video as always been having a hard time bringing a few old planes back to life.. I love your angle stops. Thank you
That's the first time I have seen an explanation of the setting up of a sharpening guide - complete mystery to me until now. Thanks.
For people just getting into woodworking, easily available, affordable, flat, diamond stones is a relatively new development. They are gradually starting to take over woodworking but there are still lots of people using different systems and getting good results. But for beginners this diamond stone setup is by far the easiest way to go.
There must be 200 videos on this process on TH-cam, but yours is the first one that actually didn’t make it feel intimidating. Thank you.
Awesome to hear!
Brilliant! I own one of those digital angle meters for my table saw blade and a honing guide for sharpening and I groaned aloud when I saw you using them together! Something I had never thought of doing!! 🤦♂️
Thanks!
Hahah! It’s the little things....
I wish I could give more than one Thumbs-Up. This was extremely helpful and cleared up some of my confusion on secondary bevels. KUDOS!
This is so timely. I literally just started restoring my dad’s Stanley planes. Thank you for breaking it down so simply.
Thank you for the Jig idea and keeping it informative and simple. Your videos are great.
Wow. Best sharpening tutorial ever. Learned more in the past 26 minutes than in the hours of other vids over the years. Always with the epiphanies, you. Thanks.
So awesome to hear!
I so agree!! Your amazing I just inherited a bunch of plains and this helps so much. Thank you!
mike fallon awesome! Have fun with them!
You’ll lean 100 times more from the master himself, Paul Sellers
I have seen about a hundred videos also, and passed this one up when it first came out. My apologies, because this is first class. Buy the LN jig and accessories if needed, follow this video and about 90% of all your sharpening needs will be covered.
3 in one, all my life. From bicycle chains to my current tools. But most important, you have a great talent Tamar. The ability to teach and share. Great video.
It’s the best stuff! Thanks so much! I appreciate that!
Chad Wicks
Please! Not bicycle chains! There are much, much better lubricants for bike chains than oil; especially in this day and age. Use something that has silicone at least or more ideally a chain wax (it’s dry and doesn’t leave black marks and as the initial, extra wax falls off, it carries dirt and grime with it; it’s the cleanest and longest lasting option that works extremely well.) Modern lubricants for bicycle chains are much better options.
keir farnum I will check that out. Not an avid rider but once in a while.😎
You have the best videos ever! Thank you! Love how beautiful your chisel cuts are in your Moxon vise video. I now know how to sharpen my chisels to get a better, crisper cut!
This is soooo helpful!! Thank you! I’m new to woodworking and I’m terrible at sharpening my tools! Thanks for the tips!
This is my first time watching you,u are Just very good instructor, ty.
Glad you liked it! Thanks!
I totally loved this video and made a very similar setup as you with the 3 stones!! I did make one improvement though. I made the middle stone slightly higher so that you could run sideways on it without hitting one of the other stones - to get rid of a burr making long strokes down the length. I noticed you wanted to do that on yours, and you had to do it at the end.
Thanks for helping me with my setup!
Excellent video. Your information is a terrific summary of so much information that is scattered across the internet. I also like that you put your own improvements on the Sellers sharpening board. I made one but will be going back to include your ideas. Finally, getting called away from the shop to make dinner is a woodworking challenge that deserves it's own video.
So glad you made this video; I’ve been wanting to hear how you did all your sharpening. Very clear and understandable!
Glad you liked it!
This is an excellent video. I appreciate you giving Paul Sellers credit. His advice seems to be the foundation of your approach. You were kind enough to give credit where credit was due. I like your discussion of blade angles. This topic confuses me. Your explanation helped to clear up some of that confusion. I liked how you created stops for various angles right on the diamond stone holder. The way you cut the recesses for the stones astounded me. I have been thinking about making a stone holder for a long time. I have designed in my mind all sorts of jigs to use with the router to cut those recesses. Then you build a plexiglass base plate for your router and cut the recesses out by hand. So much for my overthinking.
Haha! So glad you liked it! I love Paul sellers and all of his advice.

I know I was like damn I wish I could route freehand like that, I also wish the Stanley router planes hadn’t gone £££ in the uk
@@3x3CustomTamar you should make Paul’s rag in a can for the rust. I use microcrystalline wax or camellia oil for storage over winter
@@MrSongwriter2 I should
Thank you Tamar for a brilliant tool sharpening guide video. 135k views ... and counting! I, like many other viewers learned so much in just 26 minutes that I am no longer a newbie. You are an excellent teacher!
Glad you like it. Thanks!
Absolutely brilliant thank you. I have wound up with dished stones. Never used my honing guide properly. The explanation of fluids to use. The stand . I am definitely doing everything this way from now on🥰
Thanks Tamar. Like you I never enjoyed or had much luck honing blades. This video made the whole sharping process come together. The diamond stones are a game changer for me and you see results quickly and see what the micro bevel is doing. Other videos didn’t really show me the elusive micro bevel, I didn’t really grasp the importance of it. I’m now getting very good results, thanks to your video.
Thumbs up on an informative and comprehensive video. I appreciate your detail in explaining reasons for your choices in methods and materials, such as the use of automotive rather than household window cleaner. Knowing why helps us choose alternative methods when we don't have the stuff you show.
Watching your expressive hands fly around the razor edges you created added some dramatic tension to your presentation. My mind went back to The Woodwright's Shop, where Roy Underhill's demonstrations often involved blood.
Great video.
Roy Underhill has been a hero of mine for many decades! I can't believe how lucky the country is that he's still doing The Woodwright Shop after all these years! I stopped watching it a while back because I thought he had retired, but nope! His rusty hair and mustache are mostly gray now, but he's still plugging away. One of his best episodes for me was the one where he sharpened a chisel on the huge, pedal-powered grinding wheel. The "burr" he got on it looked more like a tiny sheet of tinfoil.
I enjoyed your video. I have found that by placing 3 stones side by side it makes sharpening chisels and short plane irons on the center stone a bit cumbersome. I found that by only putting two stones on two separate bases or by placing them on 3 edges of the same board (so that there is no center stone) it is easier to work off the edge of the jig. In order to keep the base from moving around I installed 4 non skid feet in place of the bench hook. It works for me.
Great sharpening tips thanks for sharing
Best sharpening video on TH-cam in my opinion.
What you show is sound advice and will bring great results. Depending on the blade, don't spend too much time on the strop. The more passes you make, the higher the chances that you'll round your edge over slightly. If you're looking for additional information to tweak sharpness to what you're looking for in a particular blade, search for the ones that prepare cuts for microscope pictures. There is no deep dive needed but there are pointers on what to avoid in the overall process. Maybe you can do a similar video to sharpen round or v-shaped carving tools.
Omg I totally relate to the last part - kids calling out into the garage asking about dinner. And my slight frustration in having to stop what I’m doing. But we’re moms before woodworkers, so it is what it is, right? ☺️
Hahah yup! I have to yell out, “just 5 more minutes” very often...
@@3x3CustomTamar : Hi, I subscribed to your channel prior to this video. Your craftsmanship, if that’s still a word, reflects and demonstrates your commitment to excellence and the time, effort and passion it takes to achieve your level of expertise. However, when I heard your son or daughter interrupt you at the end of your video about dinner, I Realized in the last few seconds of your video, as good as the first 99% of it is, caught in the act of being a good mom is the real take away.
Like, family dinners, being listened too, being a kid and knowing that mom has your back. I would have subbed just for that; because, even though being an outstanding woodworker is wonderful and rewarding. That accomplishment pales in comparison to being a good human being and a great mom or dad.
Thank you for this video, it was very helpful with tons of good information. Being new to woodworking I now feel comfortable creating my own sharpening routines
So awesome to hear! So glad it was helpful! It’s def a learning process but it’s all part of the fun
Beautiful video! Clear and smart. Thanks a lot.
You just blew away any advertisement Rob Cosman ever did for Woodrriver planes. Nice job!
Hahah! Thanks!
LOL, I love the "bloopers" you include in your videos! I'm feeling you with the kids' demands. Between work and family, I struggle to find time to spend on woodworking. Speaking of which, I'm going to dash downstairs and do a quick glue-up... ;-)
Haha! Do what you gotta do!
The bloopers are very educational.
Thanks so much, you helped me a great deal with understanding diamond stones. Love your videos.
Well done. Good instruction techniques and easily understandable.
I've watched many tool sharpening videos, but I found this the clearest and most simple explanation, for my novice inexperienced mind to follow.
To a hungry child 15mins is probably an eternity. 😆
Wow. That’s exactly how I do it. Nice work! One word of warning: some honing guides have a different mounting points for chisels and plane blades and they might need separate stops for alignment!
Awesome. That’s a good note!
Chisels absolutely need different stops. Frankly, I'm surprised that the measurements and instructions didn't come with a Lie-Nielsen honing guide, considering how much you must have paid for it.
Larry Johnson it did come with it. I lost it....
@@3x3CustomTamar Reputed to offer excellent service and support, L-N would send you another set if you asked, I'd think. But you can do a separate set of chisel stops with that dandy electronic protractor.
Your shavings demonstrate an excellent edge. Using my Eclipse honing guide, upon which the L-N is based, I tested your set-up. Using the plane projection, my chisel bevel would have been about 27 degrees, give or take. Not having the blade flat on the board when setting the projection also makes the angle more acute.
I'm not a skilled enough woodworker to know how important this all boils down to. Like you said during your introduction, it's easy to be confused by the choices among sharpening systems. I favor yours, though after using the guide to initialize, I've gone to maintaining it freehand, using a bevel gauge to check my work from time to time.
the L-N guide has a bunch of different holding blocks for all sorts of different blades including skews. And they cost about $40 for each set. It's a really nice guide but it's really expensive with all the correct parts.
Love your presentation, the fact you name check Paul sellers and that you have kids around and in your workshop and video. Great content. Thanks
Glad you liked it!
I'm relatively new to DIY stuff and I'm really excited to see a young lady with this kind of ingenuity and industry. Your video is super helpful to a guy who just loves to sharpen knives. Thanks.
Hey Tamar, great pragmatic step by step, and why video! Much appreciate it. I'm at a time where I should probably get these stones :) Wondering if you can share what honing guide you're using? Or even a link? Thanks so much!!
Looks like a Lie-Nielson
@@emmabingham544 Yes it is. This is probably the best jig out there. It is pricy however. Has lots of accessories for different tools also. Worth the money.
Very Informative video, thank you. I currently use whetstones but the results are not the best and I am tired of resurfacing the stones to keep them flat. I think I will give the Dia-Sharps a try. I looked and looked and could not find any information on your honing guide, it looks far better then the two I have. Can you please post the brand/model or a link to where to purchase it? Thanks again.
It's a Lie Nielsen and it costs about as much as the moon.
Thank you so much I’ve had so much trouble trying to sharpen my chisels today I’m going to follow every step of your video again thanks from England ❤️
Just made your jig, works great. Thanks
Tamar, you are one of the best woodworking TH-camrs that I follow. I've been researching chisel sharpening lately and just found your post. Answered a lot of my questions. Those diamond stones aren't cheap but probably the best bet long term. I'll give them a try. Thanks!
BTW, recently finished your scrap lumber cart project which turned out great. Keep 'em coming.
Where you off to bruv? .... "Just gonna go initialise my plane blades, fam"
Yup
Nice to see an english accent here :)
Wow....danke für die tollen clips
Bela ideia Bela parabéns. abraço
{{Notices child in the background}} Me: There's going to be something good in the outtakes. I was not disappointed.
Hahah! I didn’t manage to capture the footage where he was bike riding around my shop.... it was quite funny
This is a great video. Thanks Tamar. I really like your take on the sharpening board. The angle set up guides are a great idea. I’m looking forward to sharpening and honing in my little shop now. Thank you!
Glad you like it!
Thank you so much for this Tamar. After hours of research I watched your video and Paul Sellers video, I feel confident and informed enough. I’m just now ordering everything. You have a fantastic way of teaching and elaborating on the appropriate things for us beginners. I really really appreciate your channel! Thanks
Awesome to hear. So glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much! I was just about to build the diamond stone holder after watching Paul Seller's video and TH-cam suggested this!!
Exceptional thorough! Thank you!
Thank you. Such a simple idea. Enjoy your presentations
Glad you liked it!
Great intro for those of us new to using planes. Thanks much!
Wow! I like the super-thin shavings, seeing the grains of the wood, and the shine of the wood. Very cool video.
It’s so fun to do!
Thank you so very much. I have hand tools that I have been struggling with, and your tutorial was like a ray from heaven that saved me from hours of frustration! Thank you again for your help.
So awesome to hear!
Thank you for clearing that up about the automotive glass cleaner , it makes much more sense to me now , I wish others would let people know what to use
This is the most clearly informative video on sharpening I have ever come across. Thank you. Excellent.
So awesome to hear!
Just so happy I found exactly the video I was looking for. Bought a plane, diamond sharpening stones and watched too many videos before I came back to trusty Tamar! Thanks for a great video and with a five year old at home myself, I totally get that ‘sigh’ at the end!!
My first hand planes arrive this week. This is incredibly helpful. Thanks for another great video!
Awesome! It’s a learning process for sure! Have fun figuring it all out!
Excellent as always, impressive one hand push, I’ve got a long way to go this is encouraging
good morning friend .... Today I learned something new ..... it's good to see that a pretty woman is a warrior in the world of carpentry .....that she succeeds on youtube
Thank you so much for this. I've watched other sharpening guides but none of them have pointed out the super obvious part about flattening the back right after you buy the chisel. After doing this my set is now cutting way better. Thanks again, love your guides keep it up.
Awesome!!
Good teaching technique, thank you.
Birdy
I made this jig today. So satisfying routing out the holders! So easy to adjust the angle now. Thank you!
Awesome! So happy to hear!
Thanks for giving us your time. I really enjoyed it and realise now why my sharpening process has been taking me too long!! I also see the benefit of having a dedicated panel with individual diamond 'stones'.
Glad you liked it!
Goodness, nice presentation (with a few twists) on what Paul Sellers has been teaching for a decade or more... to include at least 2 of his videos on how to make and use the "jig" you demonstrated. Have you watched any of his videos? He's a great "old school" master craftsman and teacher.
What an amazing video!! I learned so much extra details on sharpening.
Also I'm literally right now about to build a jig for my stones and I will totally scrap my design and go with yours😝😝 it's so simple, neat and elegant. Thank you so much for that inspiration!
Awesome to hear! Good luck with it!
Thanks for sharing this video. The tips are great. I’ve tried a lot of different methods and this one seems to be the easiest and much more precise. I’m going to sharpen my chisels and flat blades this weekend. Oh and thanks for taking so much time to explain the methods you use. Every time I watch your videos I gain confidence.
That’s so awesome to hear! Good luck!
hi
great tips on honing and sharpening . I just purchased a set of diamond plates up to 1200 . I used double sided tape to attach them to some melamine coated plywood and sharpened my neglected chisels . It was awesome !
All very good information, loved the set up of the sharpening board!!!!
Thanks! I’m so happy I finally decided to make it
She's always good! I have ordered my diamond stones and planned pretty much what u have elegantly shown us. Thx 👏😀
Awesome! Glad luck!
You are my go-to! Did you ever do a video on how to use hand planes and chisels? If the content coming!! Fan girl moment here but I actually gasp out loud when I get a notification when you release a new video!😊
Excellent video. Thx
The edge angle blocks are pro level move! Great job and I am so doing this!!!! I always fight with the angles!!!!
Awesome! So glad it was helpful
Your presentations are pure genius! So much useful information presented in a very engaging manner. I've learned so much from your posts and you've made woodworking fun. Thank-you from a UK subscriber.
So awesome to hear!
Wow, tolle Schärfstation und tolles Werkzeug👍
Ove watching your videos. Thank you so much for taking the time to educate our community.
Glad you like it!
Really Love This !!! Never had any success with sharpening chisels properly, getting the stones ordered as we speak, real informative video, Thanks so much 🙂👍👍
Awesome
Nice video! Will definitely save money on elaborate stone holders. I wouldn't rule out lapping the backs of chisels. I've never seen them come dead flat from the manufacturer, so I usually go through several grits of sandpaper taped to marble pastry boards to flatten chisel backs. Once I got used to it, I developed a respect for machinists.
Your on point with everything I have heard along the way. Thanks for reminding me of some of the things I need to get back in the habit of doing. New info was the auto glass cleaner has anti-rust chemicals in it. Thanks for sharing. Oh, and make what makes you happy.
This is an excellent and practical take on a subject I had many questions about. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Brilliant! Just getting back into woodwork after many years away, your vids are very well done, really simple and practical advice 😀
Awesome to hear. Thanks!
Outstanding, thank you.
Fantastic instructional video. Very clear. Easy to follow. Will definitely follow the process shown here. Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Muito bom parabéns 👏👏👏
This is one of the best sharpening videos I’ve watched. Thank you.
Awesome to hear
Nice presentation thanks
Thank you! I've bee. Watching Paul Sellers, & didn't understand the purpose of some of the steps. NOW I do. I just got my first hand planer, & a *ton* of lathe chisels, all of which need sharpening. :)
I don't have a digital, so I just cut wedges on my mitersaw and marked the degrees on them, and actually used them alone on my stones to sharpen planes and chisels for basic carpentry. I'll be buying a guide soon, for more accurate and less work.
OMG! I just saw your planer blade trick/explanation. Boyoboy, did I waste lotta time flattening the backs! Never too old to learn, thanx!
I've seen so many of these sharpening videos. Everything from super complex, being and hour long video, to super simple, yet leaving out so many necessary details.
This vide was perfectly in the middle. Straight forward. Thank you Tamar.
So awesome to hear. Glad you liked it
I absolutely love your videos. Have been watching for years. But something about this one in particular... You, my talented woodworking sensation, are flat out, undeniably beautiful. Keep doing what youre doing. We love you for it!
🤘
I think you have an excellent process. Thanks for sharing the techniques.
Glad you like it!
Thank you so much for this excellent tutorial. I’ve got some very old chisels and planes I’d like to restore and make usable again. Looks like I need to invest in some of these stones. I like the way you routed out a tight space to hold the stones in place.
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for the very clear demonstration.
Glad you liked it!
