Best presentation on how to use a Tormek on Youtube. Thank you sir!

I want to see this man explain every single Tormek jig cause he does a so much better job than the official Tormek dudes with their dumb, live-streamed "sharpening class" where they take ages to get to any sort of point and then keep taking breaks for "live questions" etc.
In fact *he does a better job than the Tormek **_handbook._*

Have to agree he was a very good demonstrator of the tool and its functions. The Tormek guys are good it just takes them longer to get to the point. They could learn a few delivery tricks from this gentleman keep the godd stuff coming brand new with the Tormek T 8.

To each his own. I like the video and think the man did an amazing job!

I wouldn't mind getting my hands on one of them.

When mine was delivered i opened the packaging and amongst it all was a pack of plasters. My wife laughed. After the first chisel which was perfect i found out why they put the plasters in the package, you don't even feel it when it goes across your palm

"you'll never be able to fix that" straight from a infomercial script.

Awesome tools, I had one, but sold it as you need to book time off work to reshape a bowl gouge on a Tormek. Went to CBN wheels. Much cheaper, very fast and in the winter in the shop the water doesn’t freeze and crack the stone

Some time ago, i saw this video and said to myself. This must be some trickery involved in this. It can't be that easy. It must be fake. So i did the only logical thing i could think of, and that was to go out and buy myself a tormek. Ended up with the T4. I had no background in sharpening anything from before and with this machine. I managed to sharpen all my chisels and all my kitchen knives to the point where i can shave paper. Its crazy how easy it is to use this machine and how sharp you can get your tools and knives. My brothers chisels all looked like they fought a tank and lost Way worse than the one in the video. Managed to get them all restored and sharper than when they came from the store. But didn't help much as my brother is useless and ruined them again within a week

In reality it takes a lot of fiddling with the jig and the guide rail to make sure that the chisel is ground perfectly square. I love my Tormek but it's not as easy as they make it look in the demos!

[DavidHeath]

I have the t3 and it certainly is an amazing tool .. I still use a stone to flatten off after using but this is not essential the chisel/plane iron is ready to go straight off the leather wheel.

[carver]

Ah, that good old standby ... the mother-in-law remark.

[Cdshakes]

and here i thought Don Knotts died years ago... apparently he's hosting youtube videos now.
