Wonderful. My grandfather who was an indentured carpenter in the 1920s explained the ‘a bad workman blames his tools’ as follows.
‘Put another way it means that a craftsman uses only the right tool for the job, and a really good tool at that’.
What a lovely saying.
I could watch Ben scrape and sand wood for hours, with that beautifully relaxing voice of his. Best unintentional ASMR ever. I learn heaps and feel chill.
Thank you so much
Ben with a chisel, or two, in his hands…. Equilibrium is restored! Life is good! 🥰🥰🎸🎸☕️☕️
I have one of those strops and I use it for chisels not frets! What a killer tool. Nice one Ben! I'm really glad to see you posting videos again that contain the information I've come to rely on from you. I so missed you brother. ✌️&💙
Always look forward to these sharpening videos.
So relaxing.
Thanks Ben.
"You can sharpen to 500,...... if you cut yourself, it will hurt" whereas... if you sharpen to 6k or 12k and then strop, it will be so sharp you won't even feel it cut you and will first realise when you bleed all over your workpiece - ask me how I know ! 😉
You're a brave man Ben, discussing sharpening techniques on UA-cam for all the armchair experts to pull to bits - I appreciate the way you explained that a number of techniques may be equally appropriate for different uses by different people and there's an element of personal taste, this is in contrast to many who are quite evangelical about their chosen method !
I’m glad I’m not the only one that’s done that
Good to see you also use one of those strops on your chisels
The sharper the tool the more of a pleasure it is to use.
Legit could definitely read books aloud or do podcasts/radio voice over work , thanks for being you .
I agree, I can get lost in sharpening and also get bored with it! I like to use diamond plates for rough shaping, 400/1000, if the chisel has been used and abused or was never flat in the first place. Then I work up through my water stones to 6000 and finish with rouge on a flat piece of wood. I like the V mk11 for a honing guide, gives consistent results. Using a strop "free hand" is a good idea, similar way I sharpen a drawknife - tuck one handle under your armpit and use a sharpening stone to flatten and sharpen, then switch. Keep chasing that burr, folks!
What I’d like is a double cut Les Paul in the style of a ‘59 figured/flamed sunburst, so it would have a carved top (ie not flat Les Paul jr) but with a wraparound bridge. A bit PRS Santana I guess but without the trem
A micro bevel doesn't actually alter the cut. It won't cut any better (or worse). But ... if you're working, it's a lot faster to get back to sharp, because you just hit the micro bevel again, and there's less metal to remove. Well, until you eventually need to redo it fully. I also use tormek sharpeners really heavily. A wood lathe is a great motivator, there. They're basically high powered too dulling machines. And worse, the tools are annoyingly complex shapes.
Stunning similarity to Processor "Lapping" in PC Overclocking!
(Wet-sanding a nickel/copper processor cap every 500 grits up to 3500)
Also Gloriously Therapeutic!
Love watching you sharpen and sand!
I use sandpaper disks up to 4000 grit on acrylic disks that I put on a pillar drill to sharpen my chisels. Can even glue a disk of leather to an acrylic disk as a spinning strop.
Great tip! Thank you
Making sure that the tool that you work with is up to the job also applies to the humans that one has to endure sometimes!
The Artful Todger
Too true! 😆
I can't agree more, having a brain up to the task of living would make things much easier
The Zen of Sharp messes with my Chi, hahahaha
Fine India/Black Arkansas/Chrox pasted leather strop.
I do use stones or diamond stones normally but still struggle a bit with curved gouges which take me forever if I'm being honest...
Known fact- all edged tools get sharper in the presence of arteries. Please consider using the outside of the forearm for testing. I nicked myself badly once during testing when an unanticipated ( and very unwelcome) fart made me jerk. Did not even know I was cut until I had bled on everything important in the vicinity. Stay safe.

This sort of edgy content helps get into the groove
😏 I see what you did there...😁
The background music reminds me of something … 😂
There's my problem... I need a sharpening stone for my brain.
Like watching paint dry
I miss the (great) guitar builds, the jokes the narration and the down right excellent designs. The barrage of "shorts" is just not for me. I hope the builds videos come back, if not, than sadly it's just not my kind of channel anymore.
