As a long time woodworker, I can confirm that this is the best compilation of chisel techniques I have ever seen. As an engineer I understood everything you said. Bravo!
Bro I love your content. Found you a few weeks ago and have been binging your videos. I have learned so much more about my lathe and how to use my tools. It has made turning very enjoyable instead of frustrating.
Thank you for letting me work outside the box. That was a wonderful video. I'm a little new to hand tools, and when it seemed like everyone else was telling me the same thing, I come across your video that allowed me to question what I have been hearing on UA-cam. Thanks for giving me the permission to think for myself and decide what would work best for me and my task ahead. Thumbs up.
Wow!!!! None of the "big dogs" have ever explained it in any way like you have. All of your vids i've watch so far are way above anybody elses. I thought I knew all that needed to be learned.......And here I am learning everything that was missing!!! Thank you for all you do in these vids!!!!
Again and again, here I am learning some substantial new pieces of knowledge from you after watching 3-5 videos of other woodworkers just repeating the same half-obvious stuff over and over again.
I'm amazed at the way you compiled and made so much information easily absorbable. I have not in many years of woodworking and teaching made the connection between a pivoting chisel cut, and the change in angle of attack, it's just something I've done without thinking about what is actually happening. Thank you!
If only this video came out last week before I put a chisel into my left index finger 😂. So many great tips I hope to apply once my finger heals up, thankfully it wasn’t bad enough to have to go to the ER. I’m amazed at how efficiently and clearly you can explain these ideas with a simple chalkboard. First time I’ve really seen how much thought and technique can go into chisel work, so far I’ve been thinking of it as just a sharp stick. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Having an additional cheap set of chisels just for softwood has been a great investment. This way I grind ~17° primary and then hone the secondaries I need until 2/3rds is gone, then refrains the 17°. Saves time and wear and tear in my primary hardwood users. They are sincerely consumables and only get used in pine and cedar.
I love the way you present information. While I've been developing a lot of what you've been talking about regarding hand positioning and the influence it has on approach angle, its one thing to be suspecting something, and another to have it not only confirmed, to have the nuances explained so well. Your videos no doubt have already, and will continue to help a lot of wood workers.
As someone fresh into woodworking, I cannot thank you enough for this material! It is obvious the mastery you have of this discipline. Thank you for sharing your knowledge :)
Wow, I never realized that about skewing a blade - totally makes sense, I just never connected what I learned in math class with what I learned in the shop. But I think there's also something useful about the edge of the blade slicing across the work along with the lesser blade angle. (You may have covered that as well).
Good preso. I get it. I burned thru a 1/2" gouge changing from 40/40 to 55 swept back. Ended up just buying more steel and making a handle (following you video too) Thanks for sharing
Great explainations ! Sharpening is not only putting a sharp angle on edge : angle matter, bevel matters. And also profile actually. I have 2 chisels with a light camber, i find it works well for paring with a arched motion.
I wood carve with chisel I do my best not to drop them the swiss chisel aren't cheap but most of the time I use rubbing compound and leather strap but I can say for swiss chisel you get what you pay for those cheap one I spend more time sharping them thank you for what you do on UA-cam there no way I could what you do my reading level is nothing to be desire if was for the mic on my phone i couldn't do this
Love your content. I was wondering how do you hone your bowl and spindle between sharpening. I think ive watched everyone one of your videos. Would love to see how you just hone an edge during a project.
This is what my dad taught me first rule you cut away from your body second rule your material is firmly secure third rule do not break rule 1 and rule 2....
Sure steel is cheap but man, those few tools that are always there for you when ya need em and have that good good juju -their worth becomes more than the sum of their materials I feel- I have chisels I made myself that are butt-ugly and anyone else wouldn't look twice at but dammit I love them and they're sharp enough. Chisels hold juju like old US-made wrenches.
Hand sharpen only gentleman do not take it to a grinder once you hit it on the grinder you immediately start heating it up this will anneal your steel for those people that didn't understand that it means you will soften the steel where it will become shit hand sharpened only... And that is what my daddy taught me who has 35 years experience as a carpenter I've got 20
@@ninjamailz9711 advanced metals are tougher but still can be done with stones. I have witnessed too many noobs get on a grinder, and immediately annealing their chisel,drill bit, or personal knife. Sharpening by hand leads to a better outcome further down the road. And we'll save you a lot of frustration 😉 that's my advice and I'm going to stay with this. You're grown adults and you can do what you think is right for yourself ❤️
Hollow grind is done because grinding on a radius( wheel) flat grind is achieved on flat disc. It’s impossible to get hollow grind on flat disc, as a flat grind is impossible on a grinding wheel
This is my new favorite woodworking channel

I have been into gunsmithing for 35years and did learn a few things!
It's like I just sat through a master class on chisel use and effective, efficient material removal. Fantastic content!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Thank you.

Not only that, one that is well presented and enjoyable without any fluff :)

As i have watched more of your videos I see how inspiring you really are thanks
your presentation skills, and especially how you structure your lectures, are absolutely masterful. wonderful job, thanks for sharing with us

I learned a lot, Shawn, thanks!
your vids have taught me so much Sean. Thanks dude.
Really great content. Glad for information that goes way beyond elementary education. Thanks for the detail.
Thanks for this content! Very well made all around!
Thanks for the insight, obvious in retrospect but I had never thought of it - steel is a consumable.
I really hadn't thought about changing the geometry for certain tasks. Great food for thought!
Really good way to put these details, I learned few things today. Thank you!
Great advice. Blade geometry is fundamental stuff. This was a really cool lesson. Thanks mate. $0.02
Was a bit sceptical when I saw the title but you made plenty of good points much respect and thanks.
Yessir, glad I came here every time
Awesome info.Thank you
real penny-drop moment for me at 21:30, very counterintuitive until i saw that drawing - thank you!!!
Excellent content. Thank you for sharin, greatly appreciated

The only safe tool is a sharp tool, used with common sense. Great tutorial sir. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for sharing these great tips. I've learned some of these through experience and intuition, but I learned something on every point you made.

Great explainations !
Sharpening is not only putting a sharp angle on edge : angle matter, bevel matters.
And also profile actually. I have 2 chisels with a light camber, i find it works well for paring with a arched motion.
Also check out the blunt chisel technique with Bill Carter !
Very good, you are a great teacher
Awesome video!
Well done and very informative!
Thanks for the ideas
Thank you very much for a great video
Thank you! Very useful.
Verry informitive, thanks again
Good education
Отличный урок. Спасибо за Ваш опыт.
Great talk thank you.
Interesting stuff. Cheers.
You: Which one of these is wrong
Me: All of them!….?
You: All of them!
Me: Yes! Haha!
You: …and none of them!
Me: oh

My gods what an impressive human. Subbed. And damn did I learn a lot in a short time.
good job bud
thanks
Glad I subscribed.
Love your content. I was wondering how do you hone your bowl and spindle between sharpening. I think ive watched everyone one of your videos. Would love to see how you just hone an edge during a project.
Slipstone. Have many videos on sharpen gouges.
This is what my dad taught me first rule you cut away from your body second rule your material is firmly secure third rule do not break rule 1 and rule 2....
Great video, I hear a comment is worth 10 likes!

I knew there was a reason I have 4 1/2" chisels instead of sets. They are ground for their task.
make shoulder hurt to when not sharp
And my last comment is nice dreaming upgrade class well informed and I learned a couple of things why there's a hollow and we can have long hair....
I seen a guy on youtude using chisel try use it upside where big in i just laughed at so funny

Nope, you can use grinder without affecting annealment.
@@wortheffort especially with advancements in steel, hss, powdered steel etc.

digging in sorry my spelling not good
let me guess you use leather strap
Not always but it’s there on my wall when needed.
