I started with a cheap guide which was fine when I was learning ,then got a more expensive guide the roller jammed right from the off.I ended up flattening the roller,so that was a pile of junk.Then I learned freehand all the time using diamond stones and strop to finish of which I now get the best results.
I got that Norton set years ago. The coursest grit was useless, it wears way too quick. I had the older veritas honing guide. I've adapted the Paul Sellers freehand sharpening method now for plane blades and chisels.
Fair play, the Veritas guides are expensive, but that setting gauge looks easy to use and keeps the blades square. I have the generic version of the Lie Nielsen you showed which is much harder to set the blade in square, also it won't hold very small chisels. I have tried using wet/dry sand paper to sharpen tools, however it tears easily.

Haha I will free hand at work but at home I’m too lazy

I had the generic one too starting out and it was definitely frustrating!
Excellent demonstration video. I was just thinking last weekend - I need to sharpen these chisels. I have subscribed to follow along with you. - Rick
Thank you so much!
Great video! I had actually hoped you would do a video like this. Pretty cool stuff. I had wondered how you got those blades sharp. Nicely done!!
Thank you! I hope to get one more combination stone that has 6000/10000 grit to really get a mirror polish
Yes I definitely want to see it demonstrated... I'll send you all my irons, thanks buddy 😆😆😆... Still watching
