Scary Hair Splitting Sharpness // Single Bevel Madness! B4WMT #12

In this video, I break down my simplified version of the Scary Sharp method, making it easier than ever to get your chisels and plane blades razor-sharp. I’ll also show you my unique approach using a homemade honing compound, which has been rigorously tested to deliver the perfect edge. Best of all? It’s an incredibly affordable method, ideal for anyone who wants to achieve precision without spending a fortune on fancy tools or equipment. Whether you're a seasoned woodworker or just starting out, this method will fit into your workflow and your budget. Get sharp, stay sharp, and keep making things!

A sharp edge isn't just the end luster, it's the reflection of patience and precision in perfect harmony.

You likely have this book already but if you don't then I recommend Leonard Lee's The Complete Guide to Sharpening.

[@jaboi9900]

I agree!
It’s a terrific source to help anyone understand the sharpening process.

[@plausibledeniability2941]

Great tutorial, I've been using similar method for a while, after getting frustrated with poor results from other systems. I'm not doing fine woodwork, so don't need super sharp results, so my old sandpaper on a sheet of metal, using wd40 as a lubricant was good enough solution 😂. After watching this, I'm going upgrade it all and see how I get on, thanks for the advice!

I hear you say TYRE when it is more "tee-air".
French, such a singing language 😆
If I were to do this as my leaving, laying down, I'd be fired for sleeping on the job... 😅
KUDOS to all patreons

I've stayed away from chisels and plains because the sharpening process always seems intimidating. Maybe I'll consider it now.

Oof the pronounciation of Thiers xp

[@sethbracken]

Thiers Pronounced “tears”

Very interesting, but I find this type of production exhausting to watch. The archive content is great but It really doesn't need a stock illustration of every few words. Here's a screw pump, a river, some books falling, another waterwheel, a sponge,etc. The video would be just as interesting without. Sometimes less is more.
