063 Freehand sideways sharpening

Sharpening is the theme of videos wich i always tried to avoid. The reason is simple - there are as many ways as there are people. What is the best for me it don't have to be the best for you, and vice versa. In the video i'm gonna show you my standard sharpening process. Basic stuff i need is bench grinder and diamond plates plus strop. That way works well only with hollow grind bevels so the bench grinder is "the foundation". You don't have to be scare about burning your blades and chisels - if you will be patient and careful you get perfect results.
Remember about your safety, wear glasses and put on grinding wheel covers (yes, i know - i can't find my covers after my moving). If you need to were gloves, don't keep your hands close to the grinding wheel. I don't use them to control the temperature of the iron.
During the video you'll notice that i don't use any lubricant during sharpening on my DMD diamond stones (i bought them on allegro dot pl - DMD osełka diamentowa). This is my personal prefference, i hate the mess with it. The main job for any lubricant is taking out tiny metal particles and keep the stone / plate clean and not let to get clog up. To get the same result i just use simple pencil eraser very often - it gives me clean surfece in few seconds.
Another thing you'll notice is i hold the iron sideways (sharpening along the bevel edge).
Every sharpening stone or plate leaves scratches - even very fine gradiations leave them.
When the iron is sharpened perpendicular the edge looks like mico-saw plate. To eliminate it i just flip the iron about 90 degrees and work along the cutting angle.
That method will gives you no scrathes across the cutting edge and superb results in less time.
As the bonus - you don't need any honing guide. The accurate bevel angle is obteined on the bench grinder. The iron on the stone / diamond plane is easy to hold in sideways position and don't change the angle.
If it's something new for you, you should try it :)
Here are all steps i always follow:
1. Preparing the back of the iron. The back should be flat and gets mirror finish. After that step i don't touch this surface again (up to leather strop at the end of the sharpening process).
2. Grinding new bevel on the bench grinder. This step should brings small burr on the edge. I'm chilling the iron in clear and cold water.
3. Flattening the edges of hollow grind on the bevel. I continue up to get shiny and even lines on the full blade width.
4. When the step no 3 is done i use my finger and gently break the burr to the opposite side.
Next i repeat the step no 3 few times. At this moment the burr should falls off.
5. If it's necessary now i'm rounding the tips of the blade. I use very light preasure of my fingers to not destroy surface of the diamond plate.
5. The last step is cleaning the cutting edge out of the rest of the burr. This is the main job for the leather strop, not polishing. You need clear cutting edge, not polished bevel. I clean once the back and once the bevel, over and over again. That process brings razor sharp edge.
6. I enjoy with my sharp iron / chisel, until the next sharpening :)
I hope that i described it easy. If you have any questions just leave the comment.
Cheers!
BTW. I don't take orders and usually i don't sell my planes.

@@KarinaZagorska you get a weaker edge because the scratch pattern is parallel with the edge as opposed to perpendicular with it. Honing guides give a better result faster and easier. There's no rational argument against using one. The guy making this video uses an angled tool rest. Why doesn't he just hold the tool freehand to the grind wheel? Because that'd be crappy, that's why. You can extend the same rationale to honing. It's all about consistent repeatable results.

@@Fair_dinkum I agree with your assessment - it looks like a single bevel of 25 degrees. I think the idea behind the 2nd bevel is it quicker to touch up because you are just polishing a small portion of the metal. The hollow grind produced by the bench grinder actually yields the same sort of result - a small area to polish - reducing the time required to sharpen and touch up.

I first learned to sharpen from my father-in-law. He began his apprenticeship at the age of 14, in Germany, just after the war. He used the same hollow ground method. The hollow grind makes it so easy to feel your sharpening angle on the flat stones. Later, mostly through KZfaq, I was convinced to grind the primary bevel flat. It seemed more difficult to me to feel that sharpening angle on the flat stones, plus, once you do find that primary angle, then you raise it up a couple of degrees to create a secondary bevel. When you pick your iron up off the stone, and set it back down, or switch to another stone, you will never feel that secondary bevel. You are only ever guessing at it. With a hollow grind there is no secondary bevel to guess at. Because I switched to grinding my bevels flat, I've struggled for years to improve my sharpening. You've convinced me to try going back to hollow grind. Thank you.

@sheslop888 Жыл бұрын

I guess part of the reason I quit doing the hollow grind was that I didn't have a bench grinder wheel in a small enough diameter. At that time I only had an 8 or 10 inch diameter wheel. The wheel my father-in-law used was probably about 4 inches (I'm sure it probably started out as a 6 inch, but after many years of use it was down to 4 inches. Lol). It looks like your grinding wheel is 6 inch diameter. I think the diameter is key.

But this is a totally different thing altogether this is experience and practice. Beautiful work.

I then get them all together to sharpen. I can do a bunch at once which saves time because I only get the sharpening equipment out occasionally. Excellent work as I have grown to expect.

I've been using traditional back and forth rough sharpening followed by sideways honing because I figured a deep sideways scratch could destroy the edge. I recently picked up a decent 2nd hand Tormek so now I sharpen and wheel strop on the Tormek, then lightly sideways hone and strop... it's very quick and very effective 😀. I always had similar concerns as others that sideways is wrong, but it works for me and gives good results so err... enough said!

Very inspirering - and super sharp. I have never used honing guides, but I would be out of job if I used that much time honing. As a joiner in the seventies, I honed several times a day.

This is pretty similar to a method I started using last year, and I love the results. Obtaining a hollow grind on a wheel makes maintaining the same angle on the flat stones so much easier, and you only have to hone a little bit of the bevel. Honing parallel to the cutting edge is so much easier than pushing the blade as one would when cutting wood. Another tip I can offer is to make a strop out of wood. Plane the piece very flat, then charge it with stropping compound. Since it is flat and relatively hard, there's no chance of rounding over the edge, plus it's free and easy. It works on end grain or long grain, and it's easy to make curved strops for gouges.

I think this is interesting but I don't use a grinder or make a concave bevel. I've been doing it similarly for a few years now. I call it inline (sharpening 'inline' w/ the edge, not across it) or 'sword' sharpening. I just don't bother w/ a 'micro-bevel'. I also put more effort into 'flattening' the back similar to this video.

Proste,łatwe i przyjemne. Tylko co z iskrami ze szlifierki? Zawsze się boję, że jakaś wleci w strużyny. Najlepiej robić to w innym pomieszczeniu, bo czasami może być niezłe ognisko. No i gaśnica to podstawa w stolarni czy w piwnicy. Dzięki za film, pozdrawiam.

Are those the naniwa diamond whetstones (the 1k and 6k)? I've been super interested in that style of diamond stone, and would love your thoughts on them vs regular whetstones if that's the case. edit: ah it looks like maybe its a dmd diamond resin stone? Which I think are the same style of resin based diamond stones.

Extremely well done. How the edge holds up when you plane for a long time?Usually concave edges hold less than straight edges. How you keep the stones flat? Nevertheless outstanding sharpening skills. Congrats

@stevesteve6545 2 жыл бұрын

This video has been a bit of a revelation for me, main advantage being that with normal front-to-back freehand sharpening there is always some rocking which means you don’t necessarily get the angle you want, it’s more of a curve. I sharpened sideways yesterday, and I have some very sharp chisels now! BTW Stavros I have a quick question about mortices on moulding planes that you will probably know the answer to, I have searched everywhere and not got a good answer.

@StavrosGakos 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Steve, that's great! What's the question?

@stevesteve6545 2 жыл бұрын

@@StavrosGakos hi Stavros, It’s been a while since I looked at this… but it was about mortise geometry in moulding planes. I have a standard Nurse ovolo plane, and looking closely at the mortise, I can see the “lean” that Larry Williams talks about in his videos. But the mortise also seems to have a slight skew. This is slight and nothing like the properly skewed planes I have. Certainly the wedge is skewed, which helps to push the tang against the blind side of the mortise. But I am not sure if the mortise has a skew or whether this is simply due to having a slightly skewed wedge driven into it for 100 years. It also seems that the front and back of the mouth are not parallel - perhaps 5 deg. Shame I can’t post a pic or I would. But I’d be interested in your opinion, I want to make hollows and rounds and then some sash ovolo etc. I have been making some prototypes but I want to make sure the design is right. Thanks Steve

@pmewUK 2 жыл бұрын

Great video as always Stavros, one question though; in your description at point no'5 you talk about rounding the corners 'if necessary' - when would you need rounded corners? My old man always insisted on a sharp straight blade for the full length of the cutting edge and I've never done it any other way. You get awesome results, but I'm interested to know when this might be beneficial? Much obliged, Paul

@beralius8584 2 жыл бұрын

Normally on smoothing planes, you put the slightest of cambers to prevent ridges forming during smoothing. Another term is plane tracks. You only camber around 1 thousandth of an inch if that. Either way, it makes the finished product look much smoother if you sight down it with proper lighting.

Hey Paul! For smothing planes the corners should be rounded to allows flat surface of the wood. If they will be square they will leave lines on the surface. For shoulder/rebate planes they should have square shape to get into the corners of the rebate. It always depends what kind of plane blade you sharpen :) Cheers!
