For those using water stones, it's worth mentioning maybe only sharpening on the pull stroke. Pushing forward and dig into your water stone really easy 👍

I used to use chisels as lathe tools. That small chisel, with a skew sharpened blade, AWESOME as a cut off tool.

“Boom, Boom, Boom, Sharp!” So easy I can do it! Thanks, James!

Thanks for this. I have a bunch of push gravers with points like this - from Friedrich Dick (F.Dick, with a laurel and arrow mark ~ famous tool maker, still in business today as they were 150 years ago)...
...and several that have specially shaped, multi-faceted points...
They were my grandfather's. (He was an artist (painter, sculptor, illustrator) and printmaker - engraved (hard)wood, made copper etchings and so on... He's been dead since I was 8 - my mom and aunts never asked why he sharpened the multi-faceted ones like that, unfortunately.
(Though I found that they can cut very thin lines, and go around curves better than the others)

Anyways, I digress...
This has been quite informative for me - gives me some more confidence in sharpening them (cause I like to use them, and WANT to use them, but I also feel a responsibility to keep them in perfect working condition)

Anyways, thx.
Cheers from Amsterdam

it's not about the size of the chisel but the motion of the wood

[renaissance]

You forgot to mention back of the blade . Very important to have it flat and mirror polished

[CICellDirectorCairmann]

that friggen smirk after every crappy joke is great

[kelvinsparks]

I have a vintage tyzak and sons 1/8" chisel. It's so small it only takes about 3 strokes of each grit to sharpen it

[Tarxanfr]

You remind me of the prop guy yall even share resemblance. It might just be the puns at the end tho

[shaymingreen]

heya, idk if u have vid on this already, but showing how to sharpen curved chisels would be cool

[officialtree]

Actually, Sir, I would like to argue that small chisels are far superior due to their silly shape and also the fact that they look so cool

[ZootedSosa]

My man’s did you spit on that stone LMAO

[yosyp]

I thought chisels had a secondary angle! Why is it not the case here?

[willardjr]

Could you make a video on how to sharpen a curved chisel

[rawru]

Lol I just went the easy route and bought a sharpening guide that holds my smallest chisel.

[RobVaderful]

i fix the chisel an move my victorinox diamant sharpener ...

[umbra]

Please tell me the difference between chisels what end in a squared tip and an angled tip, I’ve seen both used on wood but is the angled tip more for designs like the metal engraving chisels?

[MagSun]

What's with the brace bits in the first few frames of this video!?

[ianpearse]

Small is best! I have the best brain in the world! LOL.

[TelephonePlays]

That wasn't true and square though, you went a little too long it seems. (Edit: I have been corrected. )
