In this video i cover step-by-step how to regrind, sharpen and hone the bevel of a chisel using a honing guide. I do the entire process using a diamond bench stone to regrind, then water stones to sharpen and finally a strop to hone the bevel.
NOTE: I do not use micro bevels in this video as i don't use them in my day to day work as i don't believe there is any advantage.
Hope you enjoy!!
Thanks for your support!

Very handy information, thank you! I just realized ALL my chisels are far beyond the need for sharpening. Have some work cut out for me!

My pleasure, I'm glad you enjoyed the video and i hope it will helped you out. It definitely takes some time to 'grind' the bevel using bench stones especially if you have a lot of chisels.

Here's a tip for people who want to restore or recreate furniture or items made from 1980's backwards (retro). We never sharpened above 240 grit (it wasn't available); we used double sided oilstones, usually 120 and 240 grit. If you are restoring or recreating something pre 1980's, use what was available in the day; anything better will look fake to those in the know. Also, when fitting bar furniture on site, we honed but never stropped blades - we only stropped during manufacture in the workshop.
