Protip: For curve profiled blades, use them to cut the shape they're designed to make, then sand that down just the thickness of a 1200 grit sheet of paper, then glue the paper own to it. Perfect sharpener.

Perfect timing to find this video! My next project is to sharpen all my 45 and 55 cutters. The only question I have about the process is...what do I check the sharpness of the edge with after I shave off all my arm hair?? Lol Interesting and very instructive video my friend! Keep them coming!

Greetings My bench has seen numerous sash cut with a S-45. First impressions using this tool had me assessing its value as minimally adequate. Stubborn persistence showed me a lot of nuance. To really accelerate one’s 45 progress let me suggest taking on a ten-piece sash job involving

Thanks for the great Stanley 45 and 55 videos. I have seen commercial round sanding sticks, even an interesting tapered version. One idea I see about sharpening curved areas is using a slip stone set, a little over $30.00 on EBay. Your idea is cheaper and something that can be done with materials at hand.

If you use the other fence to keep the plane tracking on the board, you can eliminate the possibility of the plane sliding off the molding, and reduce variation particularly in the smaller details of the molding

Hi, ya could show me how to sharpen a convex 55 combination blade, please. I saw you sharpening the concave blades, which seem quite straightforward? But it's the convex blade, which I'm not too sure about? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks Papalouie 👍

@WoodByWright 2 жыл бұрын

That's usually considered to be the much easier of the two. You generally just do it on a sharpening stone like you would with a gouge or scrub plane.

Nice. I actually glued strips of sandpaper around dowels to do this and i go to higher grits using wet-n-dry sandpaper. I am halfway in my moulding plane restoration project. Not sure there will be a video, but i recorder most of it, might do it some day. Other things first. Handtool Pattern Baldness, well, i never ever tested my sharpness that way. I dont know why people do it. Its a strange fetish, i mean, habit...

@WoodByWright 8 жыл бұрын

I can usualy tell the sharpness from just feeling it but I do enjoy maintaining a bald spot there for some reason. LOL Looking forward to seeing your video!

can you use a regular leather belt as a strop?

@WoodByWright 8 жыл бұрын

Sure. just make sure it is not too soft. that can actualy dull the tip if the blade sinks in causing the leather to wrap up around the tip when pushed into it.

@daviddorothy4969 8 жыл бұрын

For the curves, why is 400 grit sufficient? Is it because of the shape? Otherwise you could easily get some 1000 grit automotive sandpaper.

@WoodByWright 8 жыл бұрын

I could do that. but the bevel side of a plane blade never touches the wood. back when this was made most never sharpened anything past 250. if you were to sharpen one to a very high grit and another to just 250 you could not feel a difference. Because only the tip and the flat side touch the wood. I could also get slip stones and take it much higher. but there is no need. now if this was a gouge where both sides had to slide past the wood then defenetly go higher if possible. does that answer your question?

@daviddorothy4969 8 жыл бұрын

+Wood By Wright yep. Thanks. That makes a lot of sense.

@123thischarmingman 6 жыл бұрын

Wood By Wright regardless of which side touches the wood, the edge itself is affected by both surfaces. if you have a rough grind / deep scratches on one side and a mirror polish on the other, the edge will still take the profile of the rough side.
