- Some thoughts on sharpening, honing guides, and the difference between sharpening chisels vs plane blades. I created this video for my Handtool class at Cerritos College.
See these videos for my sharpening procedure...

Being a complete beginner with hand tools, learning to sharpen has been a somewhat confusing subject - Especially on youtube. I bought Ian Kirby's book you mentioned in another video and have rewatched your videos several times. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. It has helped me decide on a path to follow and practice as I continue on my woodworking journey. Please continue post - it is very much appreciated.
Glad to hear this is helpful. It's tough just watching videos without any feedback on what you're doing. Good luck on your journey.
Really nice explanation, been thinking about making this exact video for tiktok but in spanish and now youve done it. Great as always Carl!
Thank you! When I was teaching this topic always came up - when to use a honing guide and when it isn't necessary. Of course, some will differ, but this works well for me.
I have watched several videos, including your earlier one, about sharpening plane blades. Something I don't understand about the camber is whether this is destroyed when you regrind the blade, and the front is then straight across. Or does the camber survive through the grinding process?
Sorry for the delay. I've been busy and I'm not getting notifications about comments...
Yes, the camber is eliminated each time you grind. I will typically re-hone a couple of times before re-grinding to avoid that. However, it is a little tricky to keep the camber consistent. It may be easier to just re-hone the blade straight across and start over with the camber. See which way works best for you.
