SHARPENING WOOD CARVING TOOLS: How Fast Can I Sharpen a Damaged Tool with the WS3000?

This tool has already saved me many many hours of time and my tools are sharper than ever, so I thought I would share the excitement with y'all!

I loved your videos

You got my first up thumb for 2024!

[@dougLinker]

Been eyeing that for awhile now - nice demo

[@lucaskostwoodcarving]

Thanks man!!!

[@KjayCarving]

The Two finger test is my biggest take away from the video ! Also will be buying one of these ! Thanks for the video review, all the best from N.S

[@lucaskostwoodcarving]

Nice! 👍👍

[@tomstadnyk546]

Thanks! Great demo. No fear now!

[@gustafson74may]

Can you use that machine on whittling knives?

[@jma80804]

Thanks Lucas, great demo. But what about the burr side?

[@lucaskostwoodcarving]

Thanks!! The way I sharpen (lighter pressure than most) I don’t create much of a burr. But I have played around with flipping the tool over and using the edge of the wheel to get the inside edge. Doesn’t make a ton of difference in my experience!

What happened to the Burr?

[@jesseherrin3253]

Thanks for the demo, Lucas! Question….how easy is it to sharpen knives on both sides of the blade?

[@lucaskostwoodcarving]

Great question, its definitely not the best tool for knife sharpening. It’s doable but quite awkward to get that other side.

[@jesseherrin3253]

@@lucaskostwoodcarving Thanks for the info, Lucas!

Do you use compound on the strop?

[@lucaskostwoodcarving]

I do! The green stuff

[@jayc3110]

Nice. It would have been nice if you had provided a link to the device. Thanks and best wishes

Not trying to be condescending mate but it’s by ‘Work Sharp’ , probably one of if not the most famous sharpening brands on the planet ? Expecting a link is way too close to spoon feeding wouldn’t you agree ? 👍

Seems expensive overkill for the amateur carver. I made my own wheels powered by a old 1/2 inch variable drill. Also made various contours for different shaped gouges etc. so I can do both sides of a tool. Much less expensive but very effective.
But I get why a professional carver might want something speedier.
