This is a clever and utilitarian approach to keeping your chisels sharp. Thanks for showing it.
This looks good for major repairs. For touch ups, you can probably use only the finest grit. If you do add a microbevel, you are best off not using the coarse grits.
You could try making a belt from leather, cloth, or strong paper without grit, and applying honing or polishing compound. That might extend your process into the ridiculously sharp region without extra work.
Hate to date myself but your the MacGyver of woodworking…Cut belts on the table saw, tri-belt with tape, coves with a biscuit jointer…Freakin awesome!
Great jigs! The three grit belt seems to work well. I think 90% of the time that will be great. I imagine at some point you will own chisels that you won’t let anywhere near a belt sander. It’s good to have both. ✌️
Lol, very true. I would probably be more hesitant to experiment if I weren't using harbor freight chisels. The Irwin's stay away from this.
Balls of steel with that table saw haha great jig
Yeah, I could have been a little safer, especially on that 60° cut 😬
This is stupid smart. Wanted a sharpening station but decided a belt disk combo might serve both. Was wondering 1 or 4”. This seals the deal, especially since you need to change grits for each tool, except for this genius idea to creat a 3 grit single belt.
Great idea for quick chiseling jobs, and leave the nice chisels and stones for fine work. Definitely will be doing something similar to this. Can’t see wasting time for sharpening on stone for most of my jobs unless absolutely needed. Keep up the great work.
I did not work through all of the comments, but here is my ideas.
Great system totally time saving and like one person said you can just ad a leather belt and you are set!
Even with crazy sharp chisels most guys I watch comes in from the one side to the center and then from the other side to the center, no backing board required to avoid chipping.
Good job Josh!
You sir, are a genius.
You could also use this method to get the main sharpening done and then finish on a stone.
I must try this!!! I have the exact HF sander.
Hell ya that’s sharp enough for me thanks for the tip
Try a leather strope to finish the edge.
Great idee, great video!! ♥️👍🏻
10 out of 10 for trying
Great way to restore a bevel then it’s easy to hone further if so inclined.
Good job very interesting approach add a leather strap to
Nice jigs
Brilliant!
Amazing video!!!
Great. Nice idea for quickly sharpening your chisels. Any plans to go with the video
Great video, Josh. I guess that I agree with Sean. Some people will need another system in order to take care of their extremely expensive chisels. I still have some Harbor Freight ones that I started with and as I was able to, I purchased a few at the big box stores and Ace Hardware. To me, that means that these jigs that you showed us today would be great for me. I made a jig to use on a slow speed grinding wheel that I bought second hand. It works OK, but I'm going to build the jigs that you just illustrated. They will be better for me.
Thanks for sharing these with us.
If you look at Peter Sellers video (he is a hand tool woodworker very well known) shows correct chisel use. And I think you'll find that you're way is sharp enough. He also uses a lot of pine.
I think that's Paul Sellers. Peter was famous for Dr Strangelove and was a brilliant comic actor.
Josh, you are thinking for you, me and I am sure, a whole bunch of other people! How do you come up with these ideas/jigs/your own sanding belt?! Amazing! Did you say...what is in the spray bottle?
Thank you! Lol, I completely forgot to mention that. People probably think I was actually spraying dawn soap. It was just water, I like to think it sharpens a little bit better and it cuts down on the sparks.
Triple belt, nice, but cutting the belts on the table saw looked quite dangerous. A leather belt for stroping would be a nice addition, but I don't think four wide would fit that grinder. Maybe do a separate belt or a fourth finer sand paper and leather combo belt?
Triple belt! Another clever idea. I also had a thought (though I’m No expert by Any means), would hitting the back of the chisel give you a sharper edge over just the bevel? I’m sure someone here would know.
Thank you! I did flatten the back of the chisel off camera and stropped it a little as well to get rid of the burr on the edge.
@@JoshWrightWoodworking Aw excellent! How’d it turn out with that end grain?!
I would sharpen it on the belt sander. Skip the micro-bevel. Do some hand stropping on a chunk of balsa wood you can buy at hobby lobby with some green polishing compound. The stopping really makes a big difference! Balsa wood has the same sort of feel as a board with leather on it but it's much cheaper.
Balsa wood for stropping. I've never heard of that. I think I'll give it a try, thanks.
@@JoshWrightWoodworking Yeah works great. I got it from a pro knife sharpner on instagram. It was a while ago and can't remember his name or I'd give him credit.
@@JoshWrightWoodworking I just bought a balsa wood block from hobby lobby that was like 2 x 2 x 8 or something and clamp it in my vice.
You are welcome!
Haha... I actually just bought a bunch of custom belts of different grits to do this with the giant belt sander too like you suggested. I'm going to make an update video on the giant belt sander because of your suggestion on that video.
I’ll look forward to watching it.
Try a tormek
try a 25 degree bevel
Where did you buy, and what type of sanding belts did you use?
To avoid chip out when U get to the end, switch chiseling direction
Thats a good idea. I prefer to use a backer board when I can. In my limited experience, if I switch directions half way the chisel marks don't meet up in the middle quite right.
@@JoshWrightWoodworking if cuts don't line up Ur likely taking too heavy a cut. Don't recall whose rule it is (Cosman or Katz-Moses I think): saw inside the waste then successively chisel half the distance to Ur mark till the remaining waste is too small for halving. Also on end chip out, U can try 90° from either side instead of 180 from the original direction if that's easier to maintain the line. Just my $.o2
Doesn't you chisel lose it's temper when you do this?
This stuff is just in your blood buddy.
Do you still sharpen this way?
what is the make and model number of the table saw e.g. DW745 ?
Yeah, it's a dw745
Good on you, Iu se a Makita 9401 belt sander, a beast, you can sit on it and it will drive you down the road !!!! Its a beast. Very wise choice that DW745. in uk they sell for £500 secondhand but is no longer made by Dewalt; I am looking for a good one to make sash windows our of Ikoro hardwood.thanks for the video.
Great video!
