I just started turning last month and would like to say thank you to you and others who have videos like this posted. They are tremendously helpful.

Great video Robbie, we will all stay on you to keep putting up more great videos like this. Take care my friend, Carl

Robbie, I really appreciate you guys taking your time to show us that are still new to the hobby how you "experts" do different things. I never fail to learn something when I watch your videos. Jim

Being new at turning this is the most thorough sharpening video I have found. It was a great help. Thank you.

So sad you can't do your videos anymore. You were one of the originals , and one of the best.

Thanks for taking the time to go through the sharpening process for all of the main tools used the most. I really do enjoy your video's. It's a nice and easy laid back approach to turning that comes through from your video's. Please don"t stop making the video's you take the time to share what you have learned and it is greatly appreciated.When i seen your share of piece's that got messed up ,I stop hiding mine. There are still a few pieces up in the rafters stuck there they remind me about safety. I have read also on here that your older video's were great. It would have been nice to have seen them. This is the very first time i have commented on any video on youtube, So you helped me there to. And again please keep the video's coming there enjoyable and you always come away with helpful information from them. Thanks.

Great video Robbie! As I tell everyone who takes the time to share knowledge by making a video a very sincere thank you. I have watched many sharpening videos and they do not get better than yours. Between your video and Mike's new video you have got it covered. I really enjoy and appreciate your work. Thanks again!

thanks for uploading with lots of sound advice It clearly helps a lot of people

Great video, thank you very much for taking the time to share your knowledge and skill. As a new turner, your, Carl and mike' s videos have been such a great help. Please keep doing them. Thank you, Clive

Robbie this one is filed in my turning favorites for reference. You give great tips and angles for me to look on cause I have a medical problem called CRS (cant remember $#!t). Loved the detail!

Great video Robbie, full of good sound advice. i have the same Woodcut system as you, and I also have a wooden arm for my SRG and straight across grinds :). We all benefit from your knowledge and experience. As Carl says....keep 'em coming mate. Take care Mike

Great lesson in sharpening Robbie, helped loads with my sharpening

Fantastic video Robbie, thank you so much for sharing, when I first started woodturning I watched this video and it helped me so so much. Really appreciate it 😁

Super video Robbie. I think it was brilliant that you showed that you don't need to spend a fortune on jigs and tools to solve all the sharpening problems when you begin turning. You've convinced me to get a grinder with wheels because I'm still having problems getting swept-back grinds on gouges using the Sorby Pro Edge. I'll be copying your set-up. Best Wishes, Brendan.

I watched your entire video on sharpening. I never fail to learn something new or understand something better. Thanks for sharing your expertise...Cip

Such a humble man and excellent instruction Robbiethewoodturner Like many here I'm new to the wood Turning, and this has been very helpful indeed. Will be making up a Jig today as I wait for my tools and grinder to arrive. Very hard living in the boonies in Western Australia, as I have to either drive 700+kms or pay huge $$ for postage. Collected my Woodfast Midi Lathe last week, but because the shop had a wood show the week before, I couln't pick up the tools I wanted so its a waiting game for me. Love all your videos mate :)

A+ Robbie. You post them and I will keep watching them. Those that watch but don’t subscribe are missing out. I would hate to miss one of your clips. You have helped me out with your clips to which I will always be very greatful. Take care my friend and thankyou. David

hi, i am a newbie at this turning game and find your sharpening guide superb.i am following your videos as they are very imformative. superb.

Thank you so much for this - just getting started and this has been a huge help!

Great content Robbie, I think sharpening was the toughest aspect of turning to learn. I am much better at it now but I still mess up every now and then. It's always good to see how other turners approach sharpening. Regards, Bob

Hello Robbie, I've only got round to watching this video now. Excellent guidance on sharpening so many thanks. Alan.

Robbie, thanks for the great video. It will be a big help. I have been struggling with sharpening my tools. You make it look so easy. Dave

Really well explained Robbie, its thrown a bit more light on the subject for me and your use of the marker pen is simple but really effective. Many thanks for another great video. Alan.

That's great Robbie thanks! Good to see simple tips. It makes me believe I can do it when I finally get started shortly!

Thanks again for the info of sharpening your tools.. It was very helpful for us new bees to woodturning...

hello robbie thanks for your time and effort that you put into your videos, they are very helpful. thought id let you know your great information has reached the yukon canada, and i will use it to keep restoration on the historical ss klondike. thanks again. kyle

Thanks Robbie a great video with lots of tips ob sharpening. I like the use of a black marker and turning the grinder by hand to check angles. Great stuff!

just bought that tool you have i see i need to angle a little more down the side.cause that probably why i catch an edge and gouge the heck of the inside of my bowls thanks great video

Robbie: Where did you go? Miss your videos.

Thanks for taking the time to make the video Robbie, good job!!

Great video Robbie! I always learn something new. Looking forward to your next video!

Thanks for another great video Robbie Take care mate

Nice video.Can you tell me if the cutting angle would be different on the chisels if you use them for wood carving,as opposed to lathe turning?

Thanks Robbie that was very very helpful. I do like your videos. Keep up the good work.

Love the sharpening video

Great tutorial thank you mate very good cheers

Great vid and info Robbie, thanks a million :)

Awesome video. Cool idea about using old tools for beading tools. Inventive. Cheers Mate, Marc

I am just learning, thanks,BM

great video Robbie; I learn something every time..............Keith

Hi Robbie, thank you for this video, now that I will finally have my lathe, sharpening will be a part of my life :) Best regards, Daniel

Hey Robbie, im looking for a little advice, im about to buy my first lathe and set of tools and i'm looking at which tools to get. I have done a little turning before, however im still very much a beginner. Are carbide tools worth the money? What are the main advantages/disadvantages with them? Do they still need to be fully sharpened occasionally or do i have to get new tips? Can i get away with just using a diamond sharpening card (as featured on your channel)? Or am I better off starting with a more traditional set and trying carbide tools once i have some more experience? Thanks Lee

Excellent ,merci.

Hi Robbie, great video as always. Just wondering are the two wheels at the same grit. Take care Derek

great video, it helps a lot, thank you for putting it up....

Very helpful video. I've not done any wood turning since secondary school many years ago. I got a lathe at Christmas and have been tipping away since. Im guessing by the accent you are in Dublin, I was just wondering where you got the grinding wheels? I got a cheap 6" bench grinder but the wheels with it are very rough and I dont want to damage my chisels. Planning on making the home made Jig for the fingernail grind as they are too expensive to buy when they can be made quite easily. Also enjoying your other videos too. Planning on trying the multi axis cup when I get time.

Hi Robbie, I'm a beginning woodturner and a big fan of your work. this is a very helpful video and I have one question. Th small angle gauge you used, do you remember what its called or its manufacturer? it looks like it would help me understand and use my new Vari-Grind jig. This thing is driving me crazy. LOL Thanks

Great video Robbie. Would you please make a video or post a link on how to make the angle jig at 11:36........thanks

Good Job

"Sharpering" is not a word. Other than that, a good post. Bill

Great video.... I'm just getting into turning and find myself spending more time watching videos then turning. Your video is informative and has some great tips. My grinder is 6" and it still has the grinding wheels it came with and I'm sure those aren't suitable for sharpening. My question is is my 6" usable and what kind of wheels are those? Thanks for the advice. Craig

Great video Robbie I am going to have to buy a better grinder

How important is it to use a slow speed grinder ?

Robbie THANKS - keep on with the videos :)

What kind of grinding wheels are you using? I would think you were over heating them, but, none of them looked as if they were getting hot. Thnx in advance

Vou vê mais tarde tá Heli

do u sell the diagrams of your sharpening jigs. (2)

What did he say he made the home made thread maker of?

Great video not trying to be rude but why is he so shaky

got a question is that an old old pic of you cause the guy in the video sure does not look like you ive had two friends that do video's on here that someone stoled there video's . so anyone going to watch this video look at the guy doing it and the pic of robbie. asked wife and she said not the same guy . if this is not shame on you steeling someone elses work and videos to make you look good

Excellent, merci.
