I used to reference @ENCurtis videos on sharpening, judging by his comment, he's going to be referencing yours in future!
I always appreciate your candor! Kim is a wonderful human being and I’m so stoked to see you two together!
Fun to see my local peeps on the tube; one I‘ve met in person already, the other one someday, maybe 😎
There is no such thing as a Washita stone.
Same, I got the Jet sharpener and I can’t find information on how much water to use. The stone sucks it up , so do I keep pouring water in it or was the one time enough?
With both carving tools and turning tools, did you ask her about sharpening a V-tool?
If not, you have two chisels and a fine gouge at their meeting point. Think about this when sharpening this class of tools, including a corner chisel.😊
What are your thoughts on the Katz Moses jig?
Very interesting! Thanks!
I love experts helping experts! and we need to see more of this type of content.
a little off topic but did you ever produce a video on your chisel rack/holder?
I have similar stones and am slowly learning to use them. Your video is helpful. But i have older wrists that feel the effects of a longer session.
Can you contrast your method with using a Tormek. Thanks
