As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement ru-vid.comUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!
Must be one of the best and cost effective jigs I have seen on RU-vid. Thanks for sharing. Will most definitely try it out. Now I am glad I kept some old worn out castors.
I have always hand sharpened my own knives and was never happy if it wouldn't shave hair.This is by far the best vid. of a DIY that requires absolutely no muscle memory to get that perfect edge every time.Was taught to hold the stone in one hand and feel the angle as I sharpened so I never really had a use for a jig but this is excellent. Thanks for this!!
This is amazing! I have a similar jig that uses an eye bolt but it squeaks like crazy and has a little too much movement. The caster seems to solve those issues. I may have to give it a try. Thanks for posting this!
VERY clever insight to set the angle "horizontally" rather then vertically -- easier build. Nice thinking on your part -- it's an aspect which, apparently, everyone else has missed! I think, with the addition of rare earth magnet blade holder, this would be the ideal sharpening setup.
Great idea, I love that you could have 4 different grit diamond sharpening plates on it. And with slight modifications you could sharpen nearly any blade.
I’m so glad you still have all your fingers. I wasn’t sure they would survive. I’ve been a carpenter for 30 years and you, my friend are 10 times braver than I will ever be! Great project! Thank you for the video!
@@dman3526 oh my, you sure told me off good. I can choose my own words, but I appreciate your concern. Safety can argue for itself and often does when it’s too late. I’m guessing you spend much of your time criticizing RU-vid user comments. Or am I one of the lucky few?
@@ALLENNEWLIN1979 Не мечите бисер перед свиньёй.)) Он на Ваш комментарий - свой 2 пальцами отстукивал, за отсутствием остальных.))) Просто ему завидно, а отрезанного не вернёшь...)))
Даже не говоря о технике безопасности, "мастер" видно ставил задачу произвести 10 дюймовую поделку из целого дерева(судя по переработанным брускам и доскам)))) Не вышло у него, но просмотров собрал...)))
No problem with his technique. He uses large push sticks and has firm pressure on them which all but eliminates a kickback which would put his left fingers in jeopardy. Working in a commercial cabinet shop for 15 years I can tell you most injuries occur when people don't properly control the wood through the saw, for example pulling a piece through from the back side of the blade with small pieces, kickback pulls your already hinged right arm through the blades, seen several fingers go missing over that one. Many high end push stick systems often have your hand going over the saw with just a polymer pusher between your fingers and the blade.
@@ALLENNEWLIN1979 I thought the same thing he did several times during your video. I'm glad you haven't had any problems during your time Woodworking... But I'd be afraid to wager what you are too many times
Nicely done. Fwiw... I've been using the Gatco/Lansky diamond clamping system for 25+ years and they work fantastic, they also allow you to flip sides, a necessity as you move into the finer hones, and flipping is a requirement between your final few edge-towards-spine passes for a truly scary sharp edge, even before stropping. This jig he made would be perfect for hand shaping primary bevels with a file before heat treat, and for a satin finish after.
Made with your own two hands and much less expensive than a tsprof sharpening system for example :) I'm at awe with your genius detailed execution. Bravo!
that's very similar to a knife sharpening system I bought a few years ago, but I think your design solves some of the problems it has... It is limited to fixed degrees (15, 20, 25, and 30), can't sharpen very narrow knives, like a paring knife or fillet knife, and it also can't sharpen longer knives because the provided rods aren't long enough. And the knife width affects the sharpening angle... didn't think about that until now. your design fixes that, too since you can mount the knife then adjust the angle to correct. Very well done!
This is awesome. You can set your jig to just about any angle using a simple angle finder. Could probably make some modifications and utilize basic whet stones.
Great project, great tool and great video work! I wish you had made the plans available to download, I want to make one but I hate guessing at the sizes. I might still try.
Yet another awesome build! I have been looking for a DYI sharpener for my kitchen cutlery. I have been using my water stones, but I love this idea. Thank you very much for sharing your brilliant mind with all of us.~Dolly
Very nice design. I'd never thought of using the caster like that. With just a little modification to the jig, you could use it to sharpen chisel and plane blades. It would certainly be cheaper than a Worksharp 3000. Thank you for posting this.
Yer, looks brilliant, but ideally, I'm looking for something that can sharpen EVERYTHING. So far my list of tools that I can think of - which is growing - is saw blades (circular & hand), plane, chisels, knifes, meat grinder. I'm new to sharpening, so haven't watched videos about how to sharpen all of these things but I think I'm getting the general theory. A bit of tweaking and it'd be very versatile.
Yesss! A better understanding comes with the experience. Wood as a basic material is much easier to process than metal and it provides more opportunities for modeling. A slide bushing is not inferior to a ball pivot, giving at the same tome more freedom in bidirectional movement. A teflon sleeve can be easily inserted into the bushing, which will make the travel of the sliding rod smooth and noiseless.
I'm definitely making one of these sharpeners! I've always wanted to slice a lemon like that! :p. Kidding aside, I probably will make this. Thanks for posting!
Brilliant!Only thing I might add would be inset a magnet to hold the blade. They make very strong ones and you’d do away with that screw. I love the way your mind works
Magnet is a bad idea in this application, you need a strong and secure hold of the knife, especially when re-profiling its (/second) bevel. Don't get me wrong, i love me some strong magnets, but I think his approach with the rubber washer and a tight philips screw is just simple and genius :) I'm stealing his idea for future projects :P
Продольная циркулярка, поперечная циркулярка, долбежно-фрезерный станок, сверлильный станок, строгальный станок, шлифовальная установка, ленточная пила, дрели, шуруповерты, ручной инструмент. Пойду, куплю все это, а то что то ножичек заступился.
По сути получилась полная ерунда, в сравнении с трудозатратами.И точить такой шляпой не удобно, ничем кроме двух алмазов не сможешь, всё на скотче держится , или опять колхозить что нибуть.
Firstly I really love this tool that you have made, as after watching this I know now that I can make one. As it is a simpler version of the product shown some two years ago on Wranglerstar titled 'A Box From Russia Changed My Life' or 'From Russia with Love' the only difference being that it was fully machined metal and had a 180 degree swivel mount for the the knife. If you had included that one extra feature it would have been absolutely brilliant. Apart from that it is pure genius. Love it! NSW in Oz
I love how the rod is captive and can only move on one axis. I have the lansky system which works great, but this seems so much more precise. Your knife will kiilll!
