Office Hours 001: Sharpening - HIGHLIGHTS

Office Hours is a recurring monthly/bimonthly meetup via Zoom open to my Patreon subscribers. It functions as an ask-me-anything as well as an opportunity for me to give a short masterclass on a theme or specific topic relevant to learning how to chip carve.
This video includes some excerpts from the first Office Hours session. The topic for this meeting was sharpening and I took a brand new knife through all the necessary steps to get it sharp and polished enough to do top notch work with.
You can be a part of these monthly meetups and ask me all your questions about chip carving-plus get carving patterns and video and photo tutorials -by subscribing to my Patreon at / danielclay

Thanks for the sharpening tutorial. So the goal is to remove that secondary bevel and to obtain a slightly convex edge right?

[@DanielClayWoodworking]

Yes. That is correct. I provide detail and some diagrams in my book that explains it.

Where do you buy the sharpening film? What grit is it?

Это алмазный брусок для заточки. На Амазоне поищи

I buy sharpening film from Tool For Working Wood in NYC, but it’s sold by several retailer: Lee Valley, Wooodcraft, Rockler, and probably many smaller independent sellers. Grits I use in microns: 40, 15, 5 & 1
