    Sharpening

    What do most of you use to sharpen your tools? I took a course in carving a shell and my instructor suggested that my sharpening should be done on a 12000 grit diamond stone(I assume this is DMT's extra, extra, extra fine stone) and then finished on a leather strop with silicone carbide. The...

    New Sharpening Station

    Firstly, all the cabinet grade workshop guys avert your eyes. I wanted to try something a little different for my sharpening station. As I'm extremely space limited, I wanted something the could mount on my ways or screw down to my workbench. This is what I came up with. It's made entirely out...

    I am in the early stages of assembling my sharpening equipment beyond the Arkansas stones that I already have for my bench chisels. I have recently acquired two newish hand planes and intend to keep them properly sharpened. I have done quite a bit online reading last night and feel that I am...

    Sharpening Jointer Knives

    Hey Gang, I made this video tutorial about 3 months ago and thought I'd share it here. The video demonstrates a jig that is very useful for sharpening jointer/planer knives. I'd be very interested in hearing any feedback. If you get a chance check out my cool site. :gar-La; cg-COHKZvc4

    Narrow Belt Sander for Knife Sharpening?

    I'm trying to talk myself out of spending a lot of money on a Tormek and have pretty much decided to go with the bench grinder mounting attachment and a fine Norton 3X stone on my bench grinder. The shortcomings of this is giving up the knife sharpening advantages of the Tormek. Stumbled on this...

    Froe sharpening angles?

    I bought a shingle froe online, hoping to learn how to rive my own stock. I've only done this once before in a class, but that was in fresh white oak. It seems I need to sharpen my froe a bit--I cannot drive it into a piece of wood at the angle it is right now. I'm guessing it's about 70...

    Ever wonder why they are called sharpening stones?

    ...... and not surface grinders? Or flattening stones? Or shaping stones? Big time :BangHead::BangHead::BangHead::BangHead: I got some pics on the way, but I'm busting at the seams to share :-) My buddy Ed Brant finally set me on the right path (after having told me this numerous...

    Forrest sharpening service - suprising results

    Unfortunately for me, the results are not surprising in a good way :no: First, a little background. I have a Dewalt 7640, which is a 50t combination blade that was compared favorably with the WWII a few years back (2005?) - not better than the WWII, as I recall, but in the same league. I paid...

    Forrest sharpening results (before and after) on a Dewalt 7640. This is difficult to photograph. The differences are noticeable in both visual and feel. This picture depicts the difference pretty accurately.

    Forrest sharpening results (before and after) on a Delta 7657. This is difficult to photograph. The differences are noticeable in both visual and feel. However, the picture exaggerates the difference a bit.

    saw sharpening files

    Been on the lookout for a taper file small enough to sharpen an old 15-16tpi dovetail saw I bought for the express purpose of learning to sharpen one. Nobody carries a small enough file though, except for a $23 kit of needle files from the BORG, which is about twice as much as it would cost to...
