Stumpy putting his precious fluids on the line to bring us interesting time-saving tricks.

Beats my system of buying a new chisel whenever one gets dull.

Stumpy, you always amaze me. I’ve been a weekend wood worker for 60 years. The chisel sharpener for the drill press is genius. I sharpened 7 chisel’s in less than 5 minutes effortlessly. And they are sharper than ever before. After many years of fighting it I’m very very happy guy. Thank you

75 yo Canadian man here. I recently discovered a new use for one of my old-faithful benchtop tools, a Meiji-brand low-power stereo zoom microscope that is essential for my continuing work soldering tiny surface mount electronic parts onto circuit boards. Magnification range 3.5x ~ 22x. I haven't yet made precision angle supports, but already my garden pruning saws and bypass pruning shears are quickly & easily made super-sharp because I can now SEE CLEARLY what I am doing to their steel cutting edges with my files, diamond hones & the like. NO more guessing at angles or testing with my thumbnail - I can SEE the edge of the saw tooth or the pruner blade and hand-adjust my angle of attack to sharpen the garden tools. 180, 360 & 600 grit diamond flats are all I need for the pruners, and fine triangle files for the saws with perhaps a final kiss with the 600 diamond, all simply held in my right hand with the dull tool held in my left, pressing against the benchtop under the microscope. It will be even better for saws when I construct a microscope support over my bench vise. I'm embarrassed to admit it took me DECADES to figure this out, but better late than never...

I've just started working as a workshop technician at a school. I have a lot of chisels to sharpen and couldn't decide what system I wanted to use but this has just settled it for me. thanks for all the great info over the years.

The blood on your finger shows it got real sharp. This is so simply brilliant

Essentially a homemade WorkSharp concept. Wish you had done this 3 years ago.

I'm a retired carpenter and when angle grinders became common on building sites they were a game changer. Nice video.

I am an absolute convert. I saw this and thought it seemed pretty cheap and I have a drill press- so why not? Built jigs with 25 and 30 degree bevels. The outcome- WOW! In 30 minutes I went through all of my plane irons and re-established the primary bevels and then finish sharpened. It is incredibly easy, it is REPRODUCIBLE- since the next time you slap that plane iron on the jig it will be exactly the same... I have previously been hand sharpening with diamond stones and roller guides- and as hard as you try every time it is a little bit different. This fixes all of that- in a fraction of the time. Really, really impressed- for about $50.

My Grandfather gave me my first knife when I was about eight years old. He taught me how to use it, how to sharpen it and how not to cut myself with it. I call a two out of three a success, but :- It was so heartening to see a Master slip up, just as I often do. I hope its not too sore and heals quickly.

I love many KZfaq channels. I love many WOODWORKING KZfaq channels… but my God are you in the upper echelon. Cheers to you man. Thank you for all the wisdom and knowledge!

I built one of these earlier this year and admit I was a little skeptical at first. But it truly does work and it is fast. I grabbed about 20 vintage chisels I'd been meaning to sharpen, and did them all in about 20 minutes first time out. All razor sharp. You may get some negative comments from people who only use a particular system, and go up to 10,000 grit......I've seen them before. Just ignore that and try this. You can be back to working sharp in seconds with perfect bevels every time. That is the real win here.

I commented on this about a month ago when I bought one, just to let UK viewers know it's available over here. I've now had a chance to use it. Here are the highlights. 1 It works very well indeed. I brought a couple of old chisels back from the dead in a couple of minutes. 2 For chisels that are in good condition, you can leave the finer grit and strop disc in your pillar drill all the time (I hardly use a pillar drill, I'm a guitar maker) and refresh a chisel in a few seconds. 3 The instructions are good. 4 The required jig is a cinch to make and very forgiving - I didn't bother with the recommended hardwoods but just used scraps of timber I had lying in the shop. 5 It doesn't recommend using it for plane blades, because it is a few thou out over the width of a 2 inch plus plane blade, but I reckon it is well worth a shot. If you are doing freehand sharpening or using a guide such as the veritas you are probably going to be that far off anyway. This is a really simple idea that actually works. Thank you very much for putting me on to it.

Would love to see the followup to show how this could work for kitchen knives!

Stumpy, You are one of the most advisers of inexpensive good beginner tools I have ever followed.

A truly useful development, Jim. Thanks to Taylor Tools for putting it together and thanks to you for spreading the news.

Been doing this with my shopsmith disk sander for years! Glad to see a version for people who have normal equipment - nice job!

I got a set, came very prompt from US to the UK. Tested it out on 3 old wrecked glue scraping chisels and had razor sharp edges and was paring end grain oak in under 2 minutes. ...... brilliant!

That's crazy, I'll get it immediately. finally sharp chisels. THANK YOU👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😁 greetings from Germany

Absolutely great tip as usual James thanks for sharing especially for us new woodworkers.

This is brilliant. And something my lazy a$$ will actually do. Thank you

I was looking at Mikes kit not long ago. Now I see it got your interest too I’m even more convinced it’s worth trying out. Thanks for covering this one.

Another great innovation from Taylor tools. Thanks, James, for showing this to us.

I love your videos so much. Thank you for the honest transparency and peaceful teaching

That turns your drill press into a Work Sharp 3000 style chisel sharpener. Not a bad idea. I switched it using 3M Cubitron sandpaper a few years ago, and I am definitely never going back. It truly lasts at least 4 times longer than the next best ceramic sandpaper, and it cuts as good as new for 90% of its working time. It is great that they included it in the kit.

You’re bleeding. Yikes. Looks like a good sharpening technique.

My kit just came in from Taylor Toolworks, really good value, took about 3 minutes to get it all set in the chuck and starting to sharpen chisels. Great idea, keeping it simple and so convenient to touch up tools (and kitchen knives!!). Glad to be able to support a family business as well!

Needs to come with a jig already made!

Great job about the chisel sharpener James. The price is awesome and the reviews taken well and revising the oops factor all around. Great job Taylor Tools !! Stay safe and keep up the great videos. Fred.

Great video. I’ll try anything. Over a 40 year career I’ve spent way to much money on sharpening. But i enjoy having a choice. So many people never get to enjoy the benefits of an extremely sharp edge tool. This will get you there, and then learn other systems. Or not. Sharp tools will immediate elevate your work. Once you get hooked on having a crazy sharp tool, there’s no going back. Thanks Stumpy!

... WOW... That is, without hyperbole life changing. Simple, straightforward and effective. Thank you.

That is maybe the most usefull sharpening wisdom I've ever seen. THANK YOU!

James, a great addition to Taylor Tools lineup, although the Work Sharp 3000 was developed earlier! Cost effective 👍. The 3M Cubitron paper is the key. I’ve used the plate sharpening system with great success.

I bought this system a few months ago and used it on my chisels. The results were great. I found it useful to color the surface I'm grinding with a sharpie so I can see exactly what area is being ground away. It took a little care to make sure that the edge I produced was exactly perpendicular to the sides of the chisel. My sense is that the acrylic discs are not perfectly flat, and this produces a slightly concave or convex ground surface. That's OK for a chisel, but I elected not to use this system to sharpen plane irons, which require a more precisely-controlled camber.

That’s a game changer for sure! Wish I knew this last year before investing in other tedious sharpening tools… which I avoid using most of the time! Sooner or later ill have to get this. Thanks for sharing it.

Omg between this video and the disks and plans now I can do this fast and easy. Where have you been all my life. Thanks guys!

I ordered 2 6" kits to have 2 for for the roughter work, and two for the super fine. Thanks for covering this. It really is brilliant.

Misleading with the hammer title, what’s up with that! The tools alone are just fine

This is perfect for me. I needed something simple to sharpen my cheep chisels that I use for home repairs. I use to sharpen my chisels on the fly by using a sanding disk. This system will improve my sharpening dramatically. Just ordered it on Taylor Toolworks. Thank you much!

Now that looks like a quick and reliable way of sharpening a chisel rapidly. Thanks James! 👍👍

Yep I bought one and will sell all my other sharpening systems it is just brilliant and work so fast and good have the sharpest tools I have ever had. note if you sharpen plane blades go the 6" option 👍👍👍

I studied gold smithing in college (sharpening is so important to the trade), yet have never seen any method that works as well as this. Really really great information. Thank you.

This is so simple and works so well. I’m still amazed.

I bought this when it was first introduced and I can say for sure that it works exactly as described. It is a time saver and takes just seconds to set up.

Shedding blood for your videos shows real commitment. 😊

You could save even more time by not using the hammer

I finally got around to setting up this system and it is FANTASTIC

Especially useful for restoring edges, as you showed.

That is an incredible idea I am going to look into this. Would you please consider making a video on how to do a knife edge I have some thoughts in my head but I'd like to see what you come up with. Thank you again😂

GREAT stuff, James. You and the guys at Taytools are invaluable for the simple, yet elegantly effective solutions to common shop tasks. Curious on the 220 finish grit: Do you regularly use that as a final pass, or do you see the need to go up one more step (say 600)?

Wow, such a brilliant and simple idea.

Thanks once again Stumpy can you come up with a handheld drill jig system for the same thing and do a video . I don’t own a drill press so a way to use a handheld would be awesome . Great videos

You can add a second angle if you want on the other side of the lift jig - I would think it wouldn't be any harder to make and if you maintain more than one angle would double the use cases.

I don't own a Tormek or a bench grinder and have a chisel with a blunted edge that no one wanted to sharpen for me. I think I can finally re-bevel it myself using this method. Brilliant... thanks!

Thank you for sharing this! Greatly appreciated.

An interesting method that looks to be rather effective. However, I don’t own a drill press, having neither the space nor budget for one, so I’ll file this in the ‘nice ideas’ drawer and hope to dust it off one. To be fair, I hate sharpening (or rather as James suggests, stopping work to sharpen), so tips like this are always welcome

if you can make a video how to sharpen dull, or even broken, drill bits, id watch it.

What a brilliant and simple method, thank you so much!

This short circuits just about everything out there. Amazing. Thanks Mr. Nubs.

Aarrgh! I cringed and cried out loud at the vision of hammering a chisel edge!!!

The bubble of blood at 0:51 was a perfect bit of stagecraft. Thanks for keeping it real :)

You got a genuine LOL with the nicked finger. Been there more times and for more reasons than I care to admit. Thanks for another great video covering topics we can use every day.

Doesn't seem very smart to use a hammer every time you sharpen now you Click-baiting why I oughta.

I didn't see you use the hammer to sharpen it. You are fake news.

Love it Takes all the "fine" art and makes it practical.

I´m keeping this one and will try different backings in lieu of the acrylic, thanks for the video!

Thanks for this. I just went to Taylor Works and purchased the kit. Had to pay in Canadian dollars so was more expensive north of the border, but can’t wait to try this.

Just bought the system. Thanks.

Great Process! Thanks for sharing.

super efficient idea. awesome looking shop too

Absolutely fabulous advice!

I saw this product on Mike’s KZfaq a couple of months ago. Have been waiting for you to review them ever since. Thanks!

Being a knife maker on the side, I would still keep a cup of water there to dip it in every few seconds just to be sure you don't ruin the hardness of the edge. 👍🏻 Great idea though. Btw, I think 3M cubitron II are the best sanding and cutting products. Their 6" cut-off discs are the best you can get!

All your tools you showcase are cool tools!

I just bought a worksharp station. Super nice.

Very useful. Thanks, James.

Thank you James. I really like Taylor Tools and I will have to give this a try! 👍 Neat idea.

Unbelievable! I’m ordering asap!

you can also use mdf and just add compound to the mdf as its very very flat. works amazingly and fast

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Excellent tip. I wait until the edges are gone, then do a sharpening project. I like this idea, will give it a try

Dude! Awsome new way of sharpening! There's always more than one way to do things, and this is a great tip!

Wow great invention. Looks very efficient

You're right! When you struck the chisel with the hammer, even the second time, it made me flinch. 😂

That's very interesting. Thanks again! Food for thought.

Wow, it's like a madness to me... I love it! I will try it for sure. Thank you Sir for showing this to us. Cheers from Poland 🍻

Nice tip! It's basically a DIY version of my "Worksharp" sharpening station

Thanks James. It's a fantastic system, I can attest to that.

Love to try !

Thanks! I ordered the set!

ingenious, thanks! Your channel is concentrated knowledge, I appreciate your videos!

October is the perfect month to put this content up - that segment with the hammer was terrifying... 9/10 for horror movie scenes.

Flat chisel sharpening 2.0. Brilliant tutorial! Thank you for sharing sir.

Nicely done. Cheers!

That looks amazing. I flinched when you hit your chisel with the hammer.

Outstanding content and information, and perfectly expressed, as ever. many thanks

That is amazing stumps. I would love to have that setup for my stuff 🤩

awesome. just what i like, practical and quick

Might be the best thing I've seen you bring to the forefront.
