I was fortunate enough to get invited to Tormek for their "Sharp makers meet 2023", along with several other very talented makers. We spent a day focused around sharpening and listened to how Tormek as a company has evolved over the years, as well as the massive impact it has had on peoples careers! I tried to capture a few clips from this wonderful day here.

It seemed expensive at the time, but I bit the bullet sometime around 1997 and bought a Tormek motor base and half a dozen jigs. I could sharpen anything from small gouges to lawn mower blades. It works perfectly still 25 years later. It has been one of the best purchases I have made for value over time. I would replace it without a single thought today if I needed to. Thanks, Tormek

I was surprised to learn the chassis is cast from zinc. I cast zinc ingots for a living, specifically alloys intended for die-casting and I know some of it is exported to Sweden(which actually has no zinc smelters), maybe I've actually supplied the raw material for some of these machines.

They are great machines, I have A T-7 that I sharpen scissors, secateurs, shears, chisels, turning tools, kitchen & pocket knives, planer blades, spindle moulder knives, axes, carving tools, and lots of other things on. I take it to our town's 'Repair Cafe' once a month (Tormek tools are very portable, unlike some of their competition) and sharpen people's implements for a donation to our Neighbourhood House. The only reason I would consider upgrading to a T-8 is because of the water trough raising and lowering mechanism, which the T-7 does not have (& maybe getting a diamond wheel, but I don't have the $$$ !). I'm constantly spilling water when I raise the trough, and have put a microfibre cloth underneath permanently because of this.

@mckutzy 8 ай бұрын

I really love the small knife jig. You can really get into a convoluted setup to sharpen any small handeled knife or really any item with a blade. Also really like the axe sharpening hook... produces a consistant even edge on both sides...when sharpened polished and honed, a cheap axe you can shave with... Great innovative ideas... Id like to see a easier simplified drill sharpener jig, then id have everything sharp...

I’ve studied at least a dozen languages, more depending on how you count, and Swedish stands out as most similar to English in the sense that these languages have decoy spellings. There are letters, and the letters are supposed to indicate sounds, but then you find out how the word is pronounced and you realize that the letters are actually there to mislead you. 😂 French, Irish and Welsh deserve honorable mention for weirdness and infidelity to the letters as well, but English and Swedish are the ones that fool me most. 😂

@twestgard2 8 ай бұрын

@@DanelonNicolas It’s hard to give advice from a distance, but maybe this will help: the most common reason people “fail” is that they stop studying and then they feel like it’s over. In reality there’s an ebb and flow to the process. You’ll have more time to study for a while, then you’ll pull back for a while. It helps a lot to know that’s the normal process and when you get that sad feeling that you’ve slacked off, just take it as a reminder to jump back on and get started again.

Torbjörn, do you know, if this pattern on the bowl (5:10) was engraved with an LASER cutter, or is this some kind of intarsia/glue-up? It lookes like gigantic trachea cells of plant tissue... 7:35 "It just works." Is there any one out there who also has a tormek, were the rubber of the friction drive wheel ("leather strap wheel") always comes of? Or is it just me?

@torbjornahman 8 ай бұрын

I don't know, but I think it is all hand made. About the drive wheel, I think you should talk with Tormek or a representative, because that does not sound normal.
