No35) Talking about oil stones. 

Having the internet is almost like having a nearly- infinite number of wise grandparents to learn from, thanks for sharing this trove of knowledge.

"I don't know much about stones..." *Proceeds to explain more about stones and tips than I've found anywhere online.* Thank you for the video, love the end grain blocks - it makes so much sense!

All of the trash on tv now that millions of people are exposed to, then there is this treasure of a gentleman that a few thousand people have had the privilege to listen to. Perhaps more exposure of wonderful people like this, and less of whatever the trash of the day that gets seen by all, would actually lead to more people being like this. The best part is I am sure he has no idea why people would want to listen and be captivated by his stories and personality. Thank You, sir, for sharing. This is what teaching really is. People remember things told to them in this manner.

This is the first time I heard about the end grain wood at the ends of the stones. It makes absolutely sense, thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I never knew about the end grain trick on the stones . I will most definitely be using your tip about that thanks.

A lovely video and very interesting too.

And that’s all I know about stone’s…👏 So much info and such beautiful boxes and craftsmanship 🪚 thank you 🙏 Sir…🤓

I would like to pick this gentleman’s brain for days. I could learn a lot!

You have made from sharpening stones some bits of art Sir, well done

Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. Eaoecially, thank you for showing the beautiful boxes you made.

Your modesty says much about your character. Best Wishes from Northampton.

I learned here. Those end blocks are genius. Thank you

Splendid presentation, thank you. I love the boxes, and the end-block is brilliant.

Some beautiful woods you have worked. Enjoyed listening to you. All the best.

Those boxes are so beautiful. Learnt something today about sharpening stone boxes. Thank you sir.

What a gentleman.

Lovely boxes those!

Gave that beautiful box to a friend, rather than accept three hundred pounds from one of those types who know the price of everything but the value of nothing. Good on you Bill. Thanks for the video, especially the end-grain tip!

Loved your tip about the end grain blocks which I will employ.

Thank you Sir, I really enjoyed listening to you.

Nice wood scabbards for whetstones. Might get myself an oilstone

Absolutely amazing boxes you have made! You have a nice collection of oil stones I must say. I have an old double sided stone that needs a new box, these have inspired me to make one:) thanks for the video.

What an amiable fellow

Beautiful boxes! Washitas' are Arkansas stones. Just a tad softer than the soft Arkansas. But, they are true Arkansas stones

A great piece about stones Bill. You're looking well. Regards to you and Sarah. Jamie

Thank you that was awesome

Thank you for sharing your knowledge but more importantly your history 👍

Nice boxes

Beautiful boxes

Great looking boxes those.

Very interesting , thanks for this

Thank You Sir 🙏🏽

That's all I need to know

What a great information. How do you remove stone from glue in box?

could the khaki stone be a hindostan? I have one that looks just like it. When I first got it I thought it was wood because of the sedimentary layers you can see on the sides

Just wondering do you use oil with your DMT diamond stone? Thanks

I just made a oil stone box. Now I'm gona make another one but with the end blocks

Hi everybody sorry to bother you but can anyone tell me what a blue stone is .

I remember you mentioning a paraffin mix in another video. What mix do you use? Love the videos, hope all's well.

The natural kahkis are charnley forest or idwals most likely

Great video! Did you ever try a turkey stone? :)

old american indian pronunciation washita stones and ouchita stones said the same way but totally different stones.

these natural stones don't have much cutting power, they are for polish and final finish

When you keep your stones inside little coffins. LOL.
