Japanese Chisels Update / What I wasn't expecting on grinding the backs.

I had to switch techniques on grinding the backs of my Japanese chisels due to issues with the chisels. Though I had issues with grinding the chisels once the backs were flat the chisels would be good and I would never have to flatten the backs again. The chisels were easy to sharpen and I could get a very sharp edge and they cut very well too. These chisels will get a lot of use in my shop and...

    Ahh man. That's a shame you've spent so long on them. The Japanese flatten from the chisel edge. And take a couple of minutes at worst. Then they allow the flatness to improve as the years go by. There's a video.. I'll see if I can find it. A Japanese carpenter chats with a Chisel maker.

    Thanks for doing this video. I've been wanting a router plane for a while now and just ordered the Bench Dog. As to other's comments about not wanting to flatten a brand new tool's base, this is a very normal thing. Cast iron isn't as stable a material as most people think. At least not until it's "cured" for a while. Stanley used to cast their bases then let them sit for several months then re-flatten them again after the iron had settled. Of course no one does this anymore but I don't think this is any kind of defect. Anyway, thanks again for making this video. Very informative.

    How much did your sharpening set cost?

    • @McSlobo
      @McSlobo Місяць тому

      Proper milled (flat, big) diamond stones are the beginner solution, but they will wear down over time. They will cost more than those chisels cost. There's sets that come with lapping fluids, strops and waxes, see e.g. M Power Tools. Another option is glass panel with scary sharp system (you can use sand paper too) but scary sharp wears down faster than diamond so it might not be that cheap in long run, but initially it's the cheapest (well, sand paper is). Anything above 6000 grit is likely excessive, esp. for that quality mortise chisels (they're really good but not quite Narex Richter let alone Japanese magic chisels). You can get best results with whetstones or scary sharp. Whetstones are difficult but can go a long way. You need multiple grits of stones and then you need stones for leveling up the stones, so it becomes soon expensive, but when you master it it's good. You might be able to use your worn down diamond stones to fix minor problems in stones. Aah... it's a rabbit hole. Don't buy some blocks that have diamonds on four sides or some junk from your average hardware store. Those things aren't usually straight. They're ok for your kitchen knives and axes.

      25 bucks for my diamond stone with 400 grit on one side and 1000 grit on the other. A few bucks for a decent leather strop and honing compound. $35 at most all told. Mounted the stone and strop on a pine scrap with finger recesses so I can flip between coarse and fine sides. I use it for everything: plane irons, chisels, hatchets, the works. Still going strong years later.

    • @agluebottle
      @agluebottle 12 днів тому

      ​@@McSlobo Diamond stone prices have dropped like a meteor in recent years and the quality has really evened out. My combination 400/1000 grit stone still costs $25 on Amazon. The Narex #12 mortise chisel I bought goes for $30. So you're way off on your advice. No need to go for the DMT stones unless you're a pro.

    Love the UA-cam University comments you shared. My little channel has some good comments, with one glaringly ridiculous one. I was chastised for ruining the wonderful grain in a smallish oak slab I was making into boxes. The "grain" was actually chainsaw marks, and you could tell this poor slab was attacked from every angle by the chainsaw. Btw, I use my little wooden block plane for chamfering corners with a sandpaper chaser. Not better or worse, just a preference.

  • @deezynar
    @deezynar Рік тому

    Japanese chisels and plane blades are made of mild steel with a high carbon steel welded on the back to provide a hard cutting edge. Japanese cutting edges are harder than those made almost anywhere else, and that creates a unique problem for the makers and the users. The hollow grind is put in by the maker before the tool is heat treated. It's done then to remove as much steel in that area while it is relatively soft, making it much easier to grind the back flat after the tool has been hardened. If you flatten a blade before hardening it, it may warp some in the process, and undo all the work done, so that's why they don't do much flattening before heat treating. The practice of grinding a hollow in the back was started ages ago when they didn't have power grinders like we have now. They could flatten them today with power equipment and not have to put the hollow in them at all. But they continue to put the hollow in the back to help the user with routine sharpening of the tool. That hollow leaves much less steel around the edges that needs to be removed when performing routine sharpening. Hollow grinds are not a thing in tools from other countries because nobody else uses steel as hard for the edges. But very hard steel is also more brittle, so they need to be used with some care, especially around hard knots. As a blade is used over the years, the cutting edge will get nearer to the hollow from thousands of resharpenings. When sharpening the back, very little material is usually removed, but when the edge gets near the hollow, the user needs to apply more pressure near the cutting edge area of the back. That will thin the hard steel on the back and the hollow will get shallower. That increases the distance between the hollow and the cutting edge. That process needs to be done carefully to keep the back surface flat around the whole perimeter.

    Im completely new to woodworking, I have a few months under my belt. I made myself a moxon vice out of some threaded rod and attached it like a face vice, I centered my holes vertically on the boards I used but when I tighten up smaller pieces in it, the vice will go in further at the bottom and in turn put a bit of a twist on the top of the work piece. My question then would be, is that because the wholes are to high? If I made another an lowered the holes a little, would that stop it?

      Putting any finish over wax is usually a bad idea.

Incidentally I don't use wipe on finishes but should this not have been applied with a brush, not an old t shirt?
