Sharpening a Chisel in under a Minute | Paul Sellers

I see more and more options for sharpening a chisel and yet, with no mechanical means at all, I go from a chisel, I have dulled to surgically sharp in about a minute or less.
The fact is I never need to use a grinding wheel, and I was taught to sharpen by the masters of sharpening in my apprenticeship days 58 years ago which I have never strayed from because I found every other option too slow and, dare I say it, DULL and time consuming no matter which method or which machine!

I like this. No nonsense. No over-analysis. Just sharpen it already and get back to work. Other channels can waste hours on this simple task.

Been sharpening like this everyday since I learned it from you about 12 years ago. Haven't even tried other ways. It just works. Even if I have to take it to a wheel first to remove a chip, I'm right back on my 300, 600, 1000 and strop. Thanks for showing us again.

@rauschguitars Год назад

After a few years of using a honing guide, I started sharpening freehand. By removing the setup time of the honing guide, I find myself sharpening faster AND more frequently. It really is a win-win! 👍

@autumn5592 Год назад

I personally have never used a jig to sharpen tools. (Though I kinda want one specifically for wood turning gouges, because I am quite lousy at sharpening them.) I just can't see a reason to use one for the majority of cutting tools. Chisels are so absurdly easy to sharpen, I can't say I've never had trouble with one. Sure they aren't dead square, but tell me the last time you needed a PERFECTLY square chisel. Knives, sharpening them has always been so easy, I could not imagine putting one in a jig.

@rauschguitars Год назад

@@autumn5592 Yes, once you realise that none of the tools really have to be dead square, then there's no point to using a jig!

@michaelmarchione3408 Год назад

Thanks for the how-to Paul! I always enjoy watching and learning from you! I'm a retired ironworker (46 years) who wants to learn relief and spoon wood carving. I now have a good basic set of gouges etc and all the right sharpening plates and strops. I'm getting myself set up in a spare room for this coming winter when I have to close my little shop until spring. I have designed some patterns like I do when I make whirligigs. It has been over 50 years since I was an art student. I have a nice collection of erasers now lol. Enjoyed,take care!

Paul, what lubricant would you suggest one use on a diamond stone? Please advise.

@nathancamp6883 Год назад

I believe Paul uses an automotive type of glass cleaner, as it's less likely to rust the steel plate of his diamond stones. But plain water works just as well, so long as you dry the stones after use.

People watching wanting to try for the first time : go a bit slower than the old man while learning. Get a feel for it in your palm. You really don't want a nice woodworking session turning into a bad day.

@autumn5592 Год назад

Yes, speed comes with practice. Maybe your first few sessions takes 10 mins, maybe they take half an hour. Practice will reduce that time. I used to take over 15 mins on one chisel when I started. These days, one stone, 45 seconds or so, shaving sharp edge. Just took time to practice.

The rougher side to hold the lapping compound. After you use it a while it will look pretty smooth too.
