I was taught in my high school woodwork class to use the tang of the file that you use to straighten your edge ,40 years old free advice but worth every cent

@DigitalVideoFromOz 2 ай бұрын

File tangs are soft steel. Intentionally softened (annealed during manufacture) so they won't snap off. A file tang would make a poor burnisher. Would it work? Maybe, sort of, for a short time.

I have watched several of your videos and am greatly impressed with your skills!! I am most impressed with the honesty that you have shown in the comparison and review of these two products. Having restored tools for over 60 years, I fully agree with your recommendation of having a new woodworker use the Accu Burr when learning how to turn an edge on a scraper blade, and bite the bullet for the cost. The savings in time and frustration is well worth it! However, after saying that, I would prefer to purchase your burnisher for several reasons. Cost, the thickness of the rod, and especially the length. Learning to freehand a 90 degree surface takes a lot of practice and the added length helps.

And a card scraper is the handiest tool I had never heard of, and know tons, before I really got into woodworking round 4 yrs ago! Making plane totes and knobs it's a go to tool for getting rasp marks out before sanding and speeds it up considerably!

A few years ago I made my own version similar to an acc-burr but just took a 6" x 1/4" steel rod and made a small groove around the center. It works great for me. You could do the same for your burnisher (I suppose you would have to use a CBN wheel for carbide) and have the best of both approaches in one tool.

@Swarm509 Жыл бұрын

Agreed. I have a tiny Lee Valley one I picked up when I had no idea what I was doing and I hate it, far too short to use well and consistently. I got the Accu Burr as soon as I saw it, it seemed to just make sense for me and hopefully I can get consistent burrs and keep up with sharpening. I also want to get a number of curved cards usable as well and hopefully the Accu Burr helps with that. I honestly forgot the Wood By Wright Burnisher existed but I think I will need one of those too, the long length makes a ton of sense compared to many others I've seen.

@byal9000 Жыл бұрын

I bought one a while back. I've been woodworking for a good amount of time at this point, but I've never been able to turn a satisfactory burr. It really, really helped me finally get a usable scraper. I always broke down and sanded those tough spots out before.

@Swarm509 Жыл бұрын

Just got mine. I found I was not able to get a consistent burr from sharpening to sharpening with my current burnisher which I found annoying. It would go from a heavy burr to a light one and would rather have a few cards setup with different, consistent, burrs. Hopefully the Accu Burr can fix this issue.

@AllanMacMillan Жыл бұрын

Interesting that you're looking for the texture as a feature. Rob Cosman has a video showing how he forms a burr on his scrapers, and he uses the polished back of a chisel. His reasoning is that the surface finish of the burnisher will be imparted onto the burr, which will in turn transfer to the wood. Perhaps a test comparing a smooth rod to a textured one is worth trying at some point, just to see if there's any validity to that hypothesis. Edit: Forgot to add, kudos for recommending the competing product!

@Swarm509 Жыл бұрын

That would be an interesting test for sure! One thing though, after watching a lot of youtubers/tutorials, is that eventually people pick a method and if it works stick with it. Probably, in reality, both methods are just fine and if it keeps working/is fast/has good results use it. This is why I tell people to try out a lot of methods early on as they learn, eventually a few will stick as ideal for you. For instance I use a Rob Cosman method to sharpen my handplane irons, but much prefer Paul Sellers method for sharpening chisels. It can be weird how things pan out.

@lincolndickerson1293 Жыл бұрын

This whole woodworking thing is really a sharpening thing. Rob Cosman’s 32 seconds to sharp on a plane blade, you banging out a burr in 26 seconds, actually 2 burrs, Rex Krueger, Matt Estlea all making it look so easy. I really need to practice more sharpening. Today is New Years Eve, perhaps once everyone gets well on their way to jolly I slip in the shop and sharpen a few tools. lololol. Just Kidding of course. Thanks for the great comparison of tools and being fair and honest about the options. The accuburr seem super simple for curves. Have previously done or would you do a video on creating a burr on a curved scraper.

I use to be caught up on micro bevels, angles and a lot more. Now when i sharpen, its more about higher angle (tilt more) for durability, and less angle for razor but not as long lasting. When i started to sharpen other things than plane blades this started happening. Dont really like microbevels anymore as im not using my plane blades in a factory setting to hurry up and just sharpen the baby edge quick.

That can work. But the harder the steel is the easier it is to turn the burr. That's why I love people end up going to a carbide rod. Though some people use a file with a safe side. Or you can use an old knife sharpening steel.

Carbide ain't cheap and it lasts for a long time. That's one of the main things that sets those 150 dollar saw blades apart from the 40 dollar ones: the significantly greater amount of carbide on them allowing multiple resharpenings.

Here's another opinion. The smoother the burnishing rod is, the more polished the burr resulting from it. Just like rough sand paper gives less of a polish; a rougher burnisher will give a rougher burr. If you want a "toothy burr" use a textured burnisher. If you want the sharpest burr, go for the most polished burnisher.

@WoodByWrightHowTo 2 ай бұрын

You would think that, but under microscope that is not the case. the burnisher does not grind like sand paper or a sharpening stone it pushes the metal.
