  • I have mostly been annoyed with the honing guides I have had so far so I wanted to try something that is simple, effective and works for chisels and plane irons of different shapes and sizes. I think I have come up with a passable solution.
    The design for this sharpening jig is loosely inspired by the honing guides made by @richardkelltoolmaker but not nearly as sophisticated.
    This DIY-jig is certainly not the last word in honing guide development but everyone can make one and it works quite well.
    I hope you enjoy the video!

    PRO TIP: when cutting threads, put on 2 nuts (tighten against each other) - use the nut as a saw guide to get a super straight cut

    This is really good. The, single wheeled, jigs on the market have indexing grooves
    on the inside of the clamp, which never hold chisels exactly right, which makes an
    non-square and uneven cutting edge.
    P.S.: I would put two nuts on one side, tightened together, with red or green Loctite.
    That way, only one nut will move as you tighten the jig.

    • @imadethischannel
      @imadethischannel  Рік тому +1

      Yes, good point. The reason I didn‘t fix the nuts in place was that I wanted to be able to center different sizes of blades on the bolt. But a fixed side would be pretty convenient.

    Gee, I bought an adjustable one from Herber Fraught ready-made for $2.99 on sale! You can't buy the bolts for that price and the body is die cast aluminum. I've had mine forever and I think they may be $7 dollars now, but gee...I use mine for plane irons and chisels. It isn't a fancy jig from Woodcraft or Woodpeckers, but it works-even on a sanding disc on my cordless drill! I made a wooden jig to hold the drill in the bench vise and on slow speed it's a sharpener. I made it myself!

  • @bilbaggins1
    @bilbaggins1 Рік тому +3

    A neat idea! The main issue with "wheeled" jigs that sit on the stone, is that the grind angle must alter marginally. That is something you don't want with final honing at finer angles.
    Altering the grind angle is not really what you want to happen especially with chisels & plane blades etc but it probably depends on how much material is being removed from the blade & the stone.
    Keep in mind to dress the stone between grinds! It must be dead flat for each use. But only if you're really anal like me!!! :-)
    Excellent mathematics too by the way!!! One of those digital angle finders would save on calculations but they cost money!!! Keep the good work.

    • @imadethischannel
      @imadethischannel  Рік тому

      Yes, I think consistency is more important than the absolute angle. It works quite well in practice. For me the main thing is that it has to be quick and practical.

    • @maf5454
      @maf5454 Рік тому +1

      I like this idea a lot! I think I'll take the idea and run with it. To your point "bilbaggins 1" I believe I have solved the problem you address by not using stones at all. My method is to use either a very thick and smooth floor tile, mine is 12"x12" and 3/8" thick or a 12"x12" piece of float glass. Then, I use pieces of silicon carbide wet/dry sand paper for my abrasives. Fortunately enough the sheets of wet/dry are 11" long so at the start of a session I'll cut as many grits as I will need, typically 1 1/2" wide. I attach them to the tile or glass with large binder clips at each end that overlap the end of the strip of abrasive. Now comes the fun part. I restore edged tools for a local tool thrift shop that I work in and you wouldn't believe the variation in angles I run across. The beauty of my system now and with this idea in the video is you have infinite control over the grind angle. I use a poor man's layout dye, a simple felt tip and darken the bevel. I'll use a very fine abrasive and adjust the jig to that angle. Yeah, I know, that makes for some extra work but when I restore a vintage Witherby or a classic Buck Brothers or Stanley 750's I don't like removing any more material than I can help.To the point of making sure the stone is flat and lapped each time you use it, don't even need to bother. As long as I use the same thickness paper for each step the problem is self solving. And to the issue of the very fine grits say beyond say 2500 grit lapping film works great. I rarely use it because the edges are completely acceptable to my customers. I'll use a strop and the edges are like a mirror and always cut as the customer likes. I have an angle finder but for the most part I don't use it because of the aforementioned reason. A side bonus is when restoring vintage knives the same abrasive work just as well. Thanks for reading my rambling here. Be well and safe, peace to you and yous.
