I strongly recommend that you find your own way of turning. You are responsible for your own safety while woodworking. Read and understand the operation and safety manuals supplied with your tools and machinery to ensure you are safe while using such equipment.
Thank you very much, I am relatively new to woodturning, and could not justify $150.00 USD ,or more, for a sharpening system. Your system I will build from things I already have in my shop.
Nice one Jerry. Let us know how you get on. Thanks for watching.
amazed how organized your shop is. a place for everything and everything in it's place
Yes. A tidy workshop is a safe workshop. Thank you for noticing.
Thanks for your help its really expensive starting out this will save a lot.
That's exactly why we put these videos out for. Lots of people have said how much they have saved money in doing some of these tips.
Thank you so much for showing uses how to make the sharing jig i got a lot out of it i me a new bee to wood turning.
Hi Nathan. Welcome to the channel. Thank you for watching. Glad you found it helpful. Lots more tips across the videos posted. Happy turning.
Thank you. Nice to know
I'm so glad you did this video, Glenn, because I made essentially the same jig about 10y ago but have always felt a cheap jack despite it working. Having a good eye and steady hand I just don't see paying hundreds for mechanisation. Salient differences in design are that 1) instead of beech I used pine and a flanged insert located from the opposite side of the cylinder ( though a larger hole) so that it would not pull out with over tightening the star knob, and 2) I catered for differences in setting and stone wear by passing a sliding calibrated 6mm rod (with conical plastic knob) up the handle. A machine screw held by an insert of hard plastic wall plugging holds it in place. ( I use that trick quite often).It's an orange stone running away from the tool tip and buffing wheels from old leather trouser belt, one sued and the other tanned. Well worth while. Bernard.
I know lots of people have made something similar. I'm not saying it was my idea. I just did it for those who haven't got the money to throw away on sharpening jigs. I don't think in any way that it's cheap skating, I think it's a moment of pride when you make something yourself and it works. This day and age is where if you haven't paid for top brand, people aren't interested. I believe in saving money, doing it yourself.
Hear, hear, Glenn. So I shall soon be ordering more carbide tips from you: they are jolly good. Bernard.@@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308
Hi Glenn & Liza thank you a great video thank you I have a grinder I will look at this for the future as budget is very small at the moment thank you again Mark
Everyone's in the same boat Mark. Save money where you can.

Welcome to the channel. Glad the video helped. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Magic demo Glenn i will be giving your system a lot of thought. I also like the bevels you use on your tools. Super stuff. Alex from. N. IRELAND.
Thanks Alexander from N Ireland. Welcome to the channel. Thanks for watching. If it helped, in any way, made it worthwhile making the video.
Thanks, Glenn. I can buy a tablesaw now because I'm going to make my own sharpening jig.
Nice one. Good luck. Let us know how you get on.
Many thanks Glenn & Liza for sharing your very interesting video. Greetings from us in Holland 🌷🌷😉
Welcome to our channel. Glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful. Glenn & Liza
Glenn-Liza bonjour. J'adhère à cent pour cent pour cette fabrication maison peut onéreuse ,effectivement. Petit budget ,on s'y retrouve. Merci beaucoup ,tout est là, très bien expliqué .Je m'y colle dés aujourd'hui. 👍
Thank you Denis. Always looking for a cheap and easy way of doing things.
Oh to make shavings like that i am a work in progress good videos cheers.
Practice practice practice. You'll get there. Happy turning.
Hi Glenn and liza Great demo that will solve one of my problems, I am new to this but realy enjoying it, will that but larger work for my roughing gouge. thanks .
No. Not for Roughing Gouges. I have shown for other tools in this link : ua-cam.com/video/LGTKye4uUso/v-deo.html
If you own a variable speed grinder, what speed, what speed would you recommend for sharpening bowl gouges.
Glenn and Liza Smashing information mate that is so great info for new turners, wish id known that two years ago before I took a mortgage out on sharpening systems lol. anyway great stuff.
Thanks Alan. Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.
Love your wooden tooling - it does the job.!! I was fortunate enough to get the same grinder and a TruGrind set up like your red tool you showed us. Everything was set up so just screwed the board onto my bench and away i went. Not used the tool gringer as yet cos still only learning with my carbides. But I will got the normal type tools sharpened sometime. I also have a Scheppach 10" wet stone grinder for knives and tools etc. and have used it for some tools for a friend and seemed to be a good grind he said.
Nice one.
Awesome
Thank you. Glad you found it helpful
Thanks for this system. I've been gonna build it but just haven't had time. But, your grinder looks an awful lot like my grinder. It vibrated the same way. I turned some end plate washers on my metal lathe to replace the stamped metal washers that came on the grinder. Trued up the wheels and had no vibration. Before that, it would vibrate the lid of a craftsman tool box shut.
I don't use this one in this workshop. It's for another workshop. Just brought it in for the video. Mine is bolted down in the other workshop.
Great camera work !
Thank you Robin. Really appreciated. - Liza
I have subscribed to your channel
Thank you so much Mark. It helps the channel to grow. Really appreciate it. Take care buddy. Glenn & Liza
Brilliant ❤❤❤
Hi Glen and Lisa, ive just started leaning to wood turn I've got a old nutool lathe and some chisels to start , as you know it can be a expensive hobby I've watched this video a number of times so thank you, I've just constructed the sharpening jig I've followed your measurements and mine don't look right on the wheel I've used a 6 inch bench grinder would the measurements differ from your 8 inch thank you in advance
Yes there would be a slight difference. Please don't make your next question, what measurements you would need, as I don't have 6 inches. Lol. Thanks for giving it a go though. So, you will have to try and work it out I'm afraid.
@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308 thank you for your answer I will try to make some amendments with the measurements if I manage I will let you know thank you again
For screwing in the insert, I use a shoulder bolt with the same size threads as the insert. That allows you to screw the insert in without worrying the screw driver would slip off.
shaving the boys omg so funny
Glad you had a laugh with us. Gently does it now. Lol
A thumb screw, 1/4 by 20, works very well. Add the wood insert, three quid in total.
Love this jig, but I only have 3" wheel so should i halve the other measurments please?
I wouldn't use a 3" wheel to sharpen any tools on, so I can't give you any advice on that.
@@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308 Okay thanks for tletting me know.
hi both, what do you think to Tomislavs way of sharping ? No jigs, learn your skills and free hand and save money , i know you like the save money bit 😊
I don't watch them now. From what I have seen he just copies Richard Raffan. If you watch Raffan's one on sharpening, Tomislav copies it pretty much word for word. Free hand sharpening takes a lot of practice and even the most experienced will have trouble getting a single facet.
instead of a screw you could drill a hole that intercepts the very top of the flute in the tool holder and use a small wedge to hold it in place
If that's easier for you to do and you find it works, then yes use it. I think a screw is a lot better .
A little bees wax will make the insert go in much easier
Hi Glenn, how long should the pivoting dowel be? Thanks.
7 inches
Many thanks, keep up the good work!👍
Instead of turning a handle some 12/15/18mm dowel would work
no no no no, your a woodturner
@@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308 😝😜
Where did you get your face ? Do you have any fogging problems?
