This guy takes his paint can openers seriously.

1 inch doing all the work… I can relate.

Used mine as a screwdriver today because I didn't feel like walking 20 feet to my toolbox. Its ok I will use an angle grinder to sharpen back to new.

Then a guy like me comes along and uses it as a pry bar drops it on concrete and uses it to break off heads of rivets

Mind making a side by side comparison of cut quality on your next new chisel with factory edge vs the edge you create?

That last shot of them in the holder is a thing of beauty 😍

You should clean your chisel and stones both when switching grits. If you are worried about "cross contamination" because your roller on your guide holds much more sludge than your chisel bevel ever could.

That edge finding jig is nothing short of genius. Love it. I'd really like to see a short explaining how it came to be and what the math looked like in order to ensure its accuracy.

"Well that was 8 hours. Bill the customer!"

You just blew my mind with the honing guide angle measure template thing. I know what my next project is now.

Your a deff follow I'm a retired we will say government worker to make it simple but I'm getting into wood work and growing plants it's calming

Beautiful shot of those Veritas chisels at the end there, bud! Wowee that’s a nice collection 👍🏼

[rossmcgarry]

You’re the only video youtube offered me who actually did a good job at showing this!

Those Veritas chisels are awesome. I have the 1/2” PMV-11 chisel and I can’t say enough good things about it. It retains its edge as well as my Japanese chisels, maybe better. If you’re concerned about the price, try one. They’re worth it.

the fact that im in a woodworking class makes this all the more entertaining, love these videos man!

I don't think I've ever seen a ''new'' chisel. Its always ''I found this chisel my great grandpa use during WW2 in a bucket''

[ChefBii-livo]

A man who knows how to properly sharpen. Pass on those skills my man

[grantwilliams]

Personal I’m a waterstone guy, but the sharpening station is a super clean setup. Might copy it for super low grit grinding

[MONEYBOY]

The way I go through chisels I’d never have time to do anything but sharpen my chisels I’m jealous of ur time

[Hellsong]

I learned to sharpen against the blade and have done so so far, Tend to use just two grits of diamond hand file and lapping board to finish it. From what i have seen this creates least amount of burl. If corner is missing or something like that, then i run i hog most off with angle grinder keeping mind the temps and then do the steps. Then again guide and wet stones could be good for this too.
