If you have ever felt the deep despair of realising you've dropped your fancy gouge onto the concrete floor of your workshop, you will know my pain. Because now I have to re-sharpen it... Watch as I delve into this arcane art!
So here is how, from start to finish. At least, here's MY way - there are millions of other ways lemme tell ya... Or you tell me...how do YOU do it??

I feel your pain! I recently dropped my 4mm V-gouge point down on my concrete garage floor...unfortunately resharpening will not bring it back. But hey, misery loves company, so thanks for the camaraderie.

That’s such a great idea that jig for the different sizes of gouges and chisels when stropping. Very clever!!!❤

This is very helpful! I just ordered what I thought was a nice set of tools, they all came without a sharpened edge… so I’ll be doing this for a while!

Swearing is perfectly acceptable when one drops a carving tool blade-first on concrete. Crying is also acceptable...Just don't try to catch the tool in mid-flight. It never ends wells;

First few times I sharpened a gouge, it was using back & forth passes on the stone in the direction of the cut while slowly tilting the blade from corner to corner... I should've started doing the rocking lateral strokes shown in the video way sooner. Looks like it'd be way easier to keep a consistent-ish angle that way. Also, those cuts at the end, so satisfying to see those clean chips pop out like pats of warm butter!

I think that burr removal is one of the most common errors. Folks tend to treat top and bottom sides once and think it’s over.

It would be nice if you listed the stones and compound you're using. Some people use affiliate links. I was thinking "hope the steel is worth it" then at the end I saw Swiss Made 😊

Yeah, Pfeil gouges are luxurious. As for the stones, I think they're just cheap ones off of Amazon...
