amazed how organized your shop is. a place for everything and everything in it's place

Oh to make shavings like that i am a work in progress good videos cheers.

Thank you so much for showing uses how to make the sharing jig i got a lot out of it i me a new bee to wood turning.

30 year welder millwright i stopped chasing the jobs since 2012 fixing cars now at my shop. but love wood working my whole life norm A. and all the pbs woodworking shows on Saturday. found a cheap lathe been turning on it. thrust me a flying bowl is fun to watch dance around the shop. the lathe came will a wolverine set up but some parts were missing estate sell this is the pc i need. i got a Bridgeport i think i can make this tool. thank you west tn usa

Thank you very much, I am relatively new to woodturning, and could not justify $150.00 USD ,or more, for a sharpening system. Your system I will build from things I already have in my shop.

Thanks for your help its really expensive starting out this will save a lot.

I'm so glad you did this video, Glenn, because I made essentially the same jig about 10y ago but have always felt a cheap jack despite it working. Having a good eye and steady hand I just don't see paying hundreds for mechanisation. Salient differences in design are that 1) instead of beech I used pine and a flanged insert located from the opposite side of the cylinder ( though a larger hole) so that it would not pull out with over tightening the star knob, and 2) I catered for differences in setting and stone wear by passing a sliding calibrated 6mm rod (with conical plastic knob) up the handle. A machine screw held by an insert of hard plastic wall plugging holds it in place. ( I use that trick quite often).It's an orange stone running away from the tool tip and buffing wheels from old leather trouser belt, one sued and the other tanned. Well worth while. Bernard.

Hi Glenn & Liza thank you a great video thank you I have a grinder I will look at this for the future as budget is very small at the moment thank you again Mark

Awesome

Magic demo Glenn i will be giving your system a lot of thought. I also like the bevels you use on your tools. Super stuff. Alex from. N. IRELAND.

Thanks, Glenn. I can buy a tablesaw now because I'm going to make my own sharpening jig.

Many thanks Glenn & Liza for sharing your very interesting video. Greetings from us in Holland 🌷🌷😉

Love your wooden tooling - it does the job.!! I was fortunate enough to get the same grinder and a TruGrind set up like your red tool you showed us. Everything was set up so just screwed the board onto my bench and away i went. Not used the tool gringer as yet cos still only learning with my carbides. But I will got the normal type tools sharpened sometime. I also have a Scheppach 10" wet stone grinder for knives and tools etc. and have used it for some tools for a friend and seemed to be a good grind he said.

shaving the boys omg so funny

Glenn-Liza bonjour. J'adhère à cent pour cent pour cette fabrication maison peut onéreuse ,effectivement. Petit budget ,on s'y retrouve. Merci beaucoup ,tout est là, très bien expliqué .Je m'y colle dés aujourd'hui. 👍

Glenn and Liza Smashing information mate that is so great info for new turners, wish id known that two years ago before I took a mortgage out on sharpening systems lol. anyway great stuff.

Thanks for this system. I've been gonna build it but just haven't had time. But, your grinder looks an awful lot like my grinder. It vibrated the same way. I turned some end plate washers on my metal lathe to replace the stamped metal washers that came on the grinder. Trued up the wheels and had no vibration. Before that, it would vibrate the lid of a craftsman tool box shut.

Great camera work !

Hi Glenn and liza Great demo that will solve one of my problems, I am new to this but realy enjoying it, will that but larger work for my roughing gouge. thanks .

I have subscribed to your channel

A thumb screw, 1/4 by 20, works very well. Add the wood insert, three quid in total.

Brilliant ❤❤❤

hi both, what do you think to Tomislavs way of sharping ? No jigs, learn your skills and free hand and save money , i know you like the save money bit 😊

instead of a screw you could drill a hole that intercepts the very top of the flute in the tool holder and use a small wedge to hold it in place

Love this jig, but I only have 3" wheel so should i halve the other measurments please?

Hi Glenn, how long should the pivoting dowel be? Thanks.

Instead of turning a handle some 12/15/18mm dowel would work
