- I found my beloved scissors and they were in bad shape. Besides a sharpening they needed a thorough cleaning. So in this video I discuss some easy sharpening techniques, some correct sharpening techniques, and as always answer many "why's" about scissors. They really are different than most other tools in the shop and require different techniques to get to work right.

I’m 65 and I just learned more about scissors than I have my whole life. We’ll done!
Yup, this was educational.
This is honestly the best video on this topic around! Your explanation is so helpful, thanks a million!
As always your content is top notch and well presented. I learned so much from your turning tutorials and rewatch when I need a refresher course. Thanks!
Wau, so much information I haven't heard anywhere before. I am grateful, to say the least.
Greetings from Finland. Keep up the good work, Sir.
This video is a cut above, definitely a sharp cookie to teach this subject!
Scissors were originally called shears!
I am old school so I do mine with a fine file. Held at right angles to the length of the blade and filled sideways. It is called Draw Filing and gives a finer cut than the usual way!
It is the work of a few moments when you are used to it!
I've done both. Can't tell the difference. Just figured normies would have more use of the paddles in regular life than a triangle file.
Alex Steele recently visited a scissor factory in the UK that shows the hollow grind and twist, it was very informative
hi there I'm on my lunch break right now and I finally wanted to let you know that you are very much appreciated and the only UA-cam creator that genuinely transports the passion for the craft and makes an actual effort and has the expertise to not only inspire but really teach people.
Im a Hobbyist woodworker that has started during the pandemic in a small space with no machines and no real means to have a shop or anything basically hand tools, and it took me a year of really frustrating work to find out that 99% of all UA-cam content is either nonsense or just people showing off or pretending to teach you something with tutorials explain nothing except how to have stupid expectations and a lot of room for dumb and potentially dangerous dangerous mistakes. like for example making yourself a table saw from a circular saw or to make a swedish cabinet in a day.
I was on the brink of giving up when I finally found your channel. In the beginning i had to get to through the unique presentation and then eventually giving up on having overblown expectations and understand the the basics so I went basically over all of your tutorial material and really,
you're an amazing teacher, it absolutely shows that you have expertise and experience teaching and there is no one on UA-cam besides you and I mean this, not even close, that is so generous, takes so much time and provides so much knowledge like you, I'm not exaggerating if I write that by basically explaining how wood works that's that Zombie video,
basically i had to go through a few hours of your teachings to understand the scope of my incompetence.
just that explanation about fibers, direction of growth and the concept of thinking in cutting at angles did so much to me and going forward from there you basically eliminated all the nonsense i absorbed and resparked the love.
No more sharpening religion, i did exactly like you said getting cheap first and plunking down more when i got the basics of tools etc.
I still mess up where I'm going four square holes into a board at the same angles to fit legs in but i know at least that it shouldnt require zero effort to get it done.
So ant way, there cant be too many crazies like me that even attempt and stick with this kind of thing without having the room and anyone to teach them and. maybe it means something to you to know how much you helped by being so transparent, honest, funny and generous with your time and knowledge.
I remember actually that speech where you explain that you actually cant be a teacher because we can't interact and that you are basically studying material.
That demonstrated so convincingly that your not only interested in someone using your material getting better at woodworking but also how talking to a camera making a cabinet doesn't make you a teacher.
teaching actually is a profession and I don't mean this like its big insight, I'm just saying that there's a lot of people that make videos and probably never have tried to explain anything to anyone having to actually teach them any skills at all.
Your the kind of educator thats not just explains what he does and expects students to follow along but the whole time you seem to know the difference in experience and ability and how that informs your lesson. And having fun at it
Not going to lie, i tried to skip things in the beginning and the first real progress i made since i started after i follwed the lesson to the tee on how to make a rabbit.
sorry for the novel, im not chatty usually, but i guess i am when i am.
And even though it doesnt pay any bills:
Thank you very much, from the bottom of my heart. You changed my life.
@@m.a.p.5541 thank you very much.
Actually for cutting paper, running the file diagonally across the secondary bevel for finishing touch will create micro serration that aid the scissors blade at biting into the material.
Most factory finish on brand new scissors will have nearly perpendicular groove pattern along the entire secondary bevel.
I did used to running the file parallel to the direction of the blade and things like bubble wrap and plastic wrapper tend to slip off due to the lack of traction from the blade.
I have learned a lot from you. I made a Simpson Strong Tie bench after watching you. I will have to review this before sharpening.
I have an old pair that need this treatment. Will try it over the weekend
That was an extremely helpful video. Thanks so much for sharing this.
Great explanation - many thanks for sharing !
As many others have said - this is a great explanation - thank you for a very helpful/useful video!
(good luck with the lathe sale!)
Excellent video as always. Thoroughly explained, lots of useful info. Keep up the great work.
Very helpful video. Thank you very much.
Thank you for another excellent video!
Great explanation, thanks
I've moved away from using the wire wheel on cleaning up the outside of shears. It seems to dig into any pitting and leaves a surface I'm not really happy with. I'm pretty sure this has to do with the combination of iron faced with steel (Rochus Heinisch perfected the method in the 1820s). Heinisch also patented the bowing of the blades. Interestingly Wiss worked for Heinisch before getting laid off and starting his own manufacturing operation.
simple, straightforward, practical advice - as always
Good presentation!
Great info and explanation as usual Thanks
Great video, thanks for sharing
Thank you for showing up, was missing your wonderful content
That was excellent! I wasn’t expecting to learn so much about scissors (and how much I didn’t know about scissors)! 😂
hey thanks, I have some scissors to sharpen, just never knew how
Russ Morash was incredible!
Now put all those paper clippings in the "Unknown Turners" toolbox - LOL
Good vid, always have given me problems sharpening. Like the burnisher hack, another one is to cut aluminum foil with them.
Your videos have a school classroom feeling. I love it! The least amount of cuts (or shearings). Good stuff! Now cut that hair with your fixed scissors.
Turn your glasses 180° with ends of arms pointing upwards.That way they cannot topple over forward thereby scratching lenses
How good will they cut hair?
@@SaboSells scissors for hair utilizes different geometry which is why hairdressers and barbers are very protective of them. Scissors sharpened for paper or clothe will likely shred hair ends. Or were you not wanting a real answer and attempting to be the class cut up. Don’t be rude.
I'm not asking much but can we please get the split-screen intro back!?
@@mskulls83 haven’t a clue what you’re asking.
Those $3 scirrors are a lucky bet. Don't count on them. I've bought a pair that I threw in the trash after two trys. Others might work just fine for a while.
When you sharpen those fantastic scissors, please shear your hair a little 😂 lol
Just kidding. Thanks for your great videos
Booooooooo! 😂
I had hair longer than him and when I cut it my weiner got 4 times shorter... be careful out there folks 😢
5:06 it's like when women do their eyebrows with twisted cords. The only difference is that those cords aren't sharp and the force is turned into pulling instead of cutting.
My haircutter friend got mad at me because I was using his haircutting scissor to cut sandpaper for me skateboard. He was mad because that would make the scissor dull, but I trully believe cutting sandpaper just helps sharpening the scissor.
Cutting sandpaper will not only destroy the shearing bevel, but the inner concave as well.
It sounds like the conspiracy of scissors seller to just spread misinformation for people to ruin their salvageable scissors while attempting to sharpen only to ruin them beyond repair and instead have to buy a new pair.
Most hairdresser shears are starting at $100 and could go as much as $3000. And the sharpening service isn't very cheap since those are quite specialized service.
So a fool like you are not cutting sandpaper, but are closer to cutting $100 bills with a hairdresser shears.
A pair of dressmaker shears usually start from $20 for those full metal construction and the better ones could get to like $150-$200.
Most average plastic handle scissors are just $2, which for most handyman will just use box cutter to cut sandpaper.
It is cheaper since the blade is disposable and cheaper to replace than ruining any scissors.
You just can't say "scissor" without stuttering huh? lol
You have a talent for adding to the conversation in one comment and then throwing out an unnecessary insult in another. Care to go back and edit yourself to be more polite?
