Thank you Mike. Glad it was useful! David

Kennedy L no the Bob Ross of water stones is Murray Carter

@lennox Kasen you're right no one gives a shit

J3, your set of stones is good. If you follow my method carefully you will only need an 8,000 or 10,000 as a final polishing stone. Your intermediate stones will be very useful for preparing chisel backs. Get a wire edge on a coarse stone, raise angle by a couple of degrees and polish the tip.

I appreciate the advice! I just ordered a 10,000 stone. I was given an old Stanley #6 plane that I'm almost done restoring. I'm excited to get the blade back into cutting order. imgur.com/a/dCjGJrQ

Matheus, For a resharpen I use King 800 & King 10,000 grit. For chisel preparation I add a King 1,200 grit.

Harold Bridges He's saving space and making them more portable. Water is very heavy. Waterstones are like sponge. To avoid uneven absorption you could simply turn them over after each use. I never had problem with waterstones of any kind cracking. I believe a combination of change in temperature and expansion cause cracking. I always use water at room temperature.

@@snowwalker9999 finer grit Stones are quite easily cracked if left In water too long. Medium Stones not so much but I would t leave Sigma power Stones soaking.

Well in this video, all of these stones are King 800 stones I believe. So rubbing them together and leaving them in the same tray is not an issue. He has so many of them for his classes

thank you good sir

Dan, Either with 240grit wet & dry on float glass, or with DMT Diaflat stone. David

David Charlesworth , Method water stone on water stone does not work? This is only for suspension; no level off?

I use another flat waterstone purely to create some slurry, (very quick).. If you rub two waterstones together for a long time, they do not get flat. One goes convex and the other goes concave. The Diaflat stone is Diamond and always flat. David

Dan, I flatten stones either with 240 grit wet and dry on float glass, or with the DMT Diaflat diamond plate. David

Don't be so rude. Mr. Charlesworth passed away this year after a long respiratory illness, which began around the time this video was posted. For those of us who have the ability to appreciate this mans contribution to woodworking, his fingernails are the last thing one would be bothered about. As a well-spoken Englishman, his spoken manner is entirely typical, and not at all out of place for such a kind and warm personality as Charlesworth. @darrenmasom8702, you should be embarrassed by your petty remarks here. You may have clean nails and speak with uncontrolled emotion, but you've let yourself down with your comments about the late gentleman Charlesworth. For shame.
