    I would consider tapping the steel frame for the tightening block. This would resolve the difficulty you encountered with the epoxy process. Your jig is well thought out and the video shows the process in doable steps. You’re site is definitely one of the best I have seen on UA-cam.

    This is a must have item for me even though my small chisels are huge compared to yours. My free hand sharpening technique mostly works for me but I had to learn to use a very light touch and never be aggressive. I see you are gentle even with you jig and that makes sense. Nice build.

    Thank you for your video!! Almost done with mine. I made mine wider so I can sharpen my little skew. Just a little bit off the back of the top block. Hopefully the skew can shift a little bit more forward. Anyway... I'm happy with my first try thank you again!!

    Beautiful work. You can make the jig wider by using a longer screw and putting some of the bearings on the outside of the jig. No need to rebuild.

    Excellent video on a great jig des[ite knowing before i watched it is a tool i dont need i watched the video from start to finish becaus of the quality of the build and your instructions prior i had really enjoyed the video on the build of the small chisels and carving tools , sadly at this point in my life my health does not allow me. To work in that detail. Any longer therefore its not something i will need but i still enjoy the knowledge

    Nice little jig. You should see the mini jig I’m making to sharpen marking gauge blades; perhaps I’ll send pics when I (finally) get it done. All aluminum 1 & 1/2 inches long by 5/8 inches wide. Tiny little thing; needs a lot of precision.

    Thanks for the video. I have been using a jewellers screwdriver sharpener that I modified for small chisels. It is just a steel rod with a bearing on each end and a hole through the rod at 90 degrees to the rod with a grub screw to secure the blade. It allows very short blades to be sharpened. The draw back is there is very little surface area holding the chisel blade This addresses that. All the best..

    Top claming is so much better than side clamping jigs. Wider wheel base is so much better than single wheel design.

  • @whilburn2
    @whilburn2 6 років тому +1

    if you 'affixed' a handle mechanism that goes back the opposite way from the way you have to hold your device, then your chisel handle would face away from you and the end to be sharpened would be facing you. this way, the center of gravity would allow you more control of downward pressure and you would push it away from you when sharpening you not drawing it toward you. I feel that this method would allow you more control.
    Great video :)

    Very informative and clever solution, I love your channel, watching the jig you made i might have a suggestion that there is small sharpening jigs made specially for watchmakers screwdrivers, simple design and very inexpensive and comes in many sizes and variation in design, might be an option for someone who doesn't want to build his own.

  • @chrisw1462
    @chrisw1462 5 років тому

    Great idea and excellent video. You definitely should make more than one, or at least keep extra bearings on hand, if you use that diamond paste much. It will eventually get into the bearings, and you know how fast it cuts. The regular honing compound will take a lot longer to migrate into the bearings due to it's wax base, and may never become and issue. With the bearings so cheap, it's an easy fix, but it won't hurt to take care with the thickness of the paste on the honing surface, especially considering the cost of that stuff!

  • @stevecanny1583
    @stevecanny1583 6 років тому

    Hi Patrick, nice job! It occurred to me that you could get a wider "wheel-base" by adding a couple bearings on the outside, and using a longer screw. Nothing says they all have to be between the flanges, right? :) You might need a washer to space it just a little bit away from the frame. It might even be interesting to experiment with taking the other bearings out of the "middle", although I don't expect that would make any difference except making it a little lighter and very slightly cheaper. It might keep the bearings from rolling in the lapping compound though, which might be a plus. Great job on the carbide chisels too, I learned a lot from those episodes :)

    • @PatrickSullivan
      @PatrickSullivan  6 років тому

      Steve: You could also start with a wider piece of steel channel, and then put a short length of nylon spacer in between the bearings so that you only have the bearings near the edges of the channel. A little extra width is a good idea.

  • @mildyproductive9726
    @mildyproductive9726 6 років тому

    I find it useful to sharpen smallish chisels on a slightly rounded stone. Instead of worrying about rounding off the corners, unintentionally, you have to make some mistakes to even out the edge and end up straight (rather than with a frown). The blade will automatically level itself to where you apply the pressure, as well. So by checking the progress and adjusting the way you hold the chisel, you will quickly end up with a sharp, straight edge. My smallest chisel is 3 hundredth's of an inch wide. It wouldn't fit in a standard jig, because the blade is much taller up/down than across. On anything smaller than 1/4", I find it eaiser to hold the chisel still, bevel up and nearly level, and rub a small stone file over the bevel, trying to keep it level. You can constantly monitor with your eyes (and touch-test the edge) and make continuous adjustments.

    Very helpful. Thank you so much for posting. I have one of those cheapies you showed. Bad tool! It does not remain stable, and when I tried using a piece of plate glass for flatness, the demon scratched and ruined the glass (used for other purposes also). I wanted to toss that cheap demon into my kiln and melt it into a blob with what a demon might call 'home fire' (2300 F). Your idea is inspirational. Thank you.

  • @davomontgomeryda3rd
    @davomontgomeryda3rd 6 років тому

    Awesome design and super helpful & inspiring video! Just a thought/question on epoxying the screw heads... I don’t know squat about soldering, but do you think it would be worthwhile to solder the screw heads to the steel plate instead of using the epoxy ?

    • @PatrickSullivan
      @PatrickSullivan  6 років тому

      I think soft solder would probably work well if you can find a suitable way to secure the screws so they remain perpendicular to the steel plate until the solder sets.

      @PatrickSullivan  6 років тому

      Go to my website at psullivancarmel.wixsite.com/templates. You can download a template from which you can cut and drill directly. The location of the screw holes is shown. Please note, however, that this is not a precision piece, and it was designed to be forgiving of small errors. Many of the dimensions could be changed slightly without any harm. The holes for the screws that hold the wood top on should be as widely spaced as possible, while still allowing room for the heads of the screws. Check the actual screws you intend to use, as the head size varies. If you get these holes a little too close to the sides, you can file a flat on one side of the head.
