Excellent sharpening technique using the body as a whole with the pivot point at the hips while keeping hands and arms rigid. With practice, this can produce very accurate results based on muscle memory. Thanks for such a great demonstration. Well done.
Finally someone with common sense. Free hand sharpening is not hard, it just requires training. When you do so, you will be rewarded with raizor sharp knives and chisels in minutes.
It's like playing a violin, you can build a jig for it that holds the bow and pushes the snares to create mechanical sounds. Or you can practice and create music.
My advice to beginners would be to learn as we learned 50 years ago; freehand from the start. If that doesn't work, use a guide to put things right and then try, try, try again until you get it right. I use a guide to get things back on track when things get out of square (as they do) but once done, it's back to free-hand sharpening, with a rounded bevel that keeps on moving further back as I sharpen.
