How to Sharpen a V Tool or Carving Gouge - Hand Tool Woodworking

What good is a carving chisel if it is not sharp? The V-tool and Carving gouge are easier to sharpen than they look if you understand a few basic Hand Tool truths. Any blade is sharpened the same way but some blades require the right tool to reach the tip. all woodworking is, is a sharp iron working its way through the wood. here is how to do it!

I’m a woodworker and I found 16 antique Japanese woodcarving tools in a ammo box in the garage. Beautiful and very well made I just need to learn how to sharpen because they are very dull. Thanks and Semper Fi,Doc

Just what I needed. I was handed down a set of special gouges and chisels. I need to sharpen them more, they're about 150 grit sharp now, but I meant to find one of these demonstrations.

Well if you have a wet stone you only want to pull it back. otherwise, you will often round the tip on the push or gouge the stone. but on diamonds that is not a worry. If you want a strop these are the ones I make and use every day. www.woodbywright.com/shop/strop

Thanks for the video! It was very helpful! I just have a question. I use very small and delicate engraving chisels, the kind thay is smaller than an index fingernail in terms of width. They are gouges, i think, since they have a gentle curve or bend in them, resembling a U or V shape. Since they are my first ever chisels, they are chipped. How would i repair them? Would i slowly and gently work down the blade's bevel until the chips are gone? Would i use a jeweler's file and flatten the tip, then resharpen?

@WoodByWright 4 жыл бұрын

Usually you just keep working on the bevel until the chip is gone. If you want to grind the tip back to the chip you can You're just still going to be doing all of the bevel work bringing it back down to sharp. It's just personal preference between the two.

Most carving chisels are sharpened to somewhere around 20 to 25°. But that can very wildly depending upon their intended use. There really isn't such a thing as a cheap carving tool. If it is less than $20 a piece. They are usually not usable as carving tools. If It is a respectable brand. It will come from the store sharpened and ready to go.

Sure. You just have to be very careful not to round over the edge. The problem with cotton buffing wheels is they have a tendency to make the edge blunt by rounding it over. So you can't put much pressure on it.

With diamond plates. Most anything will do. You just need something to clear the steel off. The nice thing about a window cleaner is that it evaporates quickly so that your plates don't rust. If you're working with an actual stone then you don't want to use window cleaner for that. Did you know want to use a water or an oil depending on the type of stone.

What angle do you profile your gouges at please James? I sharpen my bench chisels at 25° with a 30° micro bevel. I bought some (cheap) carving chisels and the angle must have a bevel of close to 50°. I have spent all morning changing the bevel on my smallest gouge and had to remove heck of a lot of metal to get it close to my bench chisel. I don’t want to spend a fortune on carving chisels yet, I don’t want to waste a fortune on tools I might not be able to do it with my difficulties. I also bought cheap bench chisels which have lasted me my first 12 months. I was putting the same philosophy into my carving chisels, but I might have come unstuck here.

I love your videos especially your accent. Just curious - why do some Americans say "all the way acrosst" instead of "... across?".

Thanks joe. because that is the Wright way to say it. LOL I do it mostly because it drives certain people crazy.

What do I do if I already have ruined the v chisel and the end is uneven 👀🥴 I grind the corner away too far 😳

@WoodByWright 2 жыл бұрын

you can just re grind it to a more pleasing shape then re sharpen it.

few companies ship their chisels sharp and ready to go. but that is part of the fun learning to sharpen them.
