I just got a new standard hand plane, (well relitively new since it was in an antique shop it was in great condition), and after buying it I noticed something off about the blade edge. It is a diamond edge. And my questions for you are, can I sharpen a diamond edge on my whetstones and strap, do I ever actually have to sharpen it, what do I do with something like this?
Anubis Pup
9(.
@@anubispup4760 I've never even heard of that type of blade
@@katzmosestools So, Diamond Edge is the strictly brand apparently. However the blade for it was apparently replaced at some point and the edge was extremely hard and very difficult to sharpen, so for awhile I thought it was actually diamond edged like some tools I've used in the past.
Having mastered this, I no longer need to shave. I just plane my face....
I planed off a piece of my hand once, made a human version of a potato chip with the base of my thumb, lol.
@@atomicwinter31 no
@@pignewton9840 i didnt even have any adrenaline when it happened, i just felt a chip peel off, looked at my hand, and there was just blood pouring out.
@@atomicwinter31 no just no
Do NOT try this on your balls.
We recently lumbered a 36" maple, a 36" white ash, and a 32" pecan. After drying, we tried planing with a Rigid (Home Depot) 13" planer with 2 HSS knives czcams.com/users/postUgkxIzvvTi3_Qc8JnVdYYRJCvuoDC4QjTzeL . This job was clearly too much for that machine. The pecan was particularly difficult, due to heavy mineral deposits, and a sharp pair of HSS knives would be consumed by a mere 3 boards. We were also having lots of problems from chip bruising, due to poor dust collection. The shavings came off like straw and jammed in the 4" hose.We bought the DW735 simply to be able to run carbide blades, which worked brilliantly for the pecan. However, we found it to be a much, MUCH nicer machine. It was far more rigid than the "Rigid" planer, and far more accurate as well. But what I liked most about it was the dust feed. This machine has its own blower, which shreds the "straw" like shavings as they come off the cutting head and helps boost the shavings into the dust collection system. No more clogs! It's also nicely sealed so that the internals stay quite clean. This is just a well tempered machine that's a delight to use. It literally cut the labor in half. Just another example of getting what you pay for.
I absolutely love what you do bud!! I literally went from having no clue how to sharpen chisels and planer irons to basically using my planer iron as a mirror and shaving my face with my chissel. You literally make learning new skills effortless and super easy to understand and follow. Between binge watching tutorials from Matt Eslea and yourself, I really feel like in a few years time I will be close your level of expertise!! Sincerely from the bottom of my heart I really appreciate what you do pal!! Keep up the greatness!!
I really appreciate the kind words bud
checking in a few years later, any progress?
Ha ha ha! Funny. Chisel shaving, new concept. You can save a lot on razors now.
fyi CHISEL, not CHISSEL.
My old man, who was a boat builder said, "If you can shave your arm with the blade, it's sharp enough." Also, if there are no dings in it, stropping the blade often keeps it fresh.
Nice demonstration. Thanks Jonathan.
First time woodworker, and got a great result from this method!
Jon you are such an enjoyable person to watch/listen to......thanks for always sharing
Thank you for this! Wife walked in during a close up and wanted to know why I'm getting sharpening advice from Patton Oswald.
Best sharping video I’ve seen on CZcams hands down
Fantastic--super clear. All the stuff I sort of knew, but didn't really. Thx much!!
Excellent
Thank you for sharing
"I use my angle grinder..."
Said every woodworking psychopath out there
it gets through the rusty bits quicker
I just got an old Stanley no 2 wood plane that’s in really good shape but I am still soaking it in rust remover and getting everything in order before I use it
Wow, I’ve never put a micro-bevel on the back of a plane iron before. I’ve always tried to keep the back mirror bright and flat. Will give this a go.
Thank you Matt- love your quality tools and enthusiasm. I thought I knew about sharpening but ended up watching your video several times.
Thank you. Fantastic video. I bought waterstones but haven't had the confidence to get them out and have a go. Now I do :)
Great video. I'm restoring a 1920s Stanley #3 and this def just answered alot of questions I had about sharpening and how it works
wow thats wicked sharp. i was just gonna hit ut with the bench grinder 😅thanks for sharing !!
A great video! Superbly explained and with crystal clear visuals. So deeply appreciate this. Thank you, Jonathan! 🙏
A huge thank you too, for NO MUSIC!!! What joy. I needed to hear the sharpening sounds too, that was educational.🥰❤
Learned a lot of things I didn't know I didn't know.
I learned, I learned that I learned a lot
Thank you, I appreciate your valuable information
Jonathan Katz-Moses : THANK YOU SIR FOR YOUR TIME AND SHARING YOUR TALENTS .
I bought a cheap horrible genetic branded no.4 a few years back when getting into working on the house and woodworking. Put me off hand planes. But then one day I came across a couple of old Stanley's now I've got a small collection. Sharpening then right was such a big part of the enjoyment of using them.
Great video thank for sharing.
Very helpful. Thank you for sharing.
Great video.
I inherited a set of really nice hand planes and now I know how to keep them sharp, thank you!
Some people have to climb a mountain & speak to a wise man to make sense of this world, I just need to watch tools being cared for and I find inner peace. Cheers from a shed in England. (Well I'm not a shed, that would be really weird, but you know)
here in my shed, sharpening my lovely tools..... its a sad story...
This works, sharpened 6 planes yesterday, thank you.
Holy cow am I grateful I can freehand sharpen
Awesome, thanks
Very educational
Autentic work wonderfull good job🙋👍
I learned a lot thank you.
Always absolutely blown away by the detail you show in your how to vids. Great tips here.
Thanks. Now i can make an old plane work again.
He the smartest tool in that shed!!
Jonathon, I've been an educator at the university level for more than 35 years. Your presentation/teaching style exemplifies among the best that I've seen in all my career. Your teaching is clear, easy to follow, and quite thorough. Bravo to you and your channel. I can see why you have over 475K subscribers. Keep doing what you do so well!
Happy Passover from Chicago ❤️
Mazel!
Hi!
I really like your videos, because your tips are really simple.
Also I like that your videos are 4k quality, so that we can really see all the details and thats very important for me.
Cheers from Slovenija.
Excellent
Thank you
I enjoy to sharpen my tools and take my time to do it. In the beginning I spent a lot of time to restore the blades of old tools, later I spent a lot of time to correct my mistakes, because the stones I used weren’t flat. So keep your stones flat and enjoy the process of sharpening. First improve your results than the speed.
I did the same... ahahahahahah ;-)
That upside down writing just earned you a subscriber! Thank you sir!
Thanks
"Just the tip..." "GENTLEMEN....." There. Fixed it.
Just the tip.... but I lied.
Excellent video Jonathan. I was wondering how sharp the blade would be before the strop? Does the strop really give the edge the best sharpness?
I'm a fan of Matt Estlea and by you mentioning him positively in your video talks a lot about your great ethics my friend, thanks for your great video and I'm happily subscribing to your channel
Thanks for the info Jonathan! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Good sharpening is not about good luck. It is about the right tools & know-how.
hey love your video, at the 8:27 you said about checking that it's still square, if it's not how and what would be the best way to square it off again before you carry on sharpening?
If you are sharpening routinely, how do you store your stones? My understanding is that storing whetstones in water long term isn't great for them. But, I find myself not good at timing my sharpening needs and knowing when to fill the bin with water to start the soak.
Hi Jonathan, great video. I cant seem to achieve anywhere near this with a double sided oil stone. I must be doing something wrong lol! I will keep trying though
A sharp tutorial haha thanks Katz.
Very punny
@@katzmosestools thanks for noticing Junior ;0)
I've been doing it all wrong. Thanks for the lesson
Thanks for the videos. Is it possible to use a blade bevel-down on a low-plane block? So as to get a cutting angle of only 12 degrees? I get that you'd have to grind the blade down, so maybe that would weaken it too much?
Something I did not see you do on the video but I figure you do it anyway. When you wipe off the blade between grits wipe off the roller, too. Just as you can transfer larger pieces of grit from the coarse stones to the finer stones via the blade you can transfer even more on the roller. Second point is locking your wrists. I lock them against my stomach and strop the blade while moving my entire body sideways. Of course the strop is oriented sideways, also.
Just the tip!!!!
Hi there great video. I am about to buy some water stones to sharpen my block stanley no 4 plane. What stone grades did you say use for this purpose? Thank you in advance, Chris
Is it just me, or did anyone else twitch and bristle every time he gestures with his hands within inches of a razor sharp blade?
Wow. I so regret taking my brand new plane and attacking my 'scraping on my kitchen floor', door now. I guess it gives me the chance to practice my ninja blade sharpening technique. Just getting into working with wood. You make me realise how far there is to go. Great vid, mate.
Please tell me the brand of the wet stone . Having trouble finding a similar one here in Australia. Great tutorial.
Finally got scary sharp thanks to this video - BTW, you link for the polishing compound is the same as the link for the stones.
The David Charlesworth ruler trick :)
Give credit where it is due!
Incredibly useful video
I'll be honest mine is not as beautiful especially without guide, and I still stuggle to set up the hand planer. BUT I progressed a lot in a short time thanks to this channel 😄
Johnathan what would happen if you could sharpen a chistle/plane blade by concaving it like a ski jump would it cut even better !
Do you push the iron down on the stone while I using it away from you or pulling it back towards you? Thanknyou.
Great video, thank you for sharing
I'd like to ask, can I use a sharpening stone from Harbor Freight? It's the price range I need. Will it suffice?
Not really exploring the potential of bevel ups. The whole point is, they are effectively "variable angle" planes and most useful when deployed on difficult woods at 60 degrees or higher.
Legend has it that Jonathon Katz-Moses's tools are so scared of losing social media feuds that the come alive like they're in Toy Story and sharpen themselves...
Hahaha yep
Hullo young man. Now when I watched the first video I gained super knowledge to hone (get it) my skills especially using the jig you have. I was the other type. Now I said at the time that the cost of all the sharpening equipment that you were using was for us in the UK was very expensive. now I am not one to repeat myself, I say repeat myself, but are you not repeating yourself. Read this out in your voice.
I am having a plane blade with carbide tip. Having tough time to put it for first use. Only diamond stones are able to remove material from the plane. I don’t yet have whetstones higher than 170 grit. I will be getting 400 and 1000 grit diamond whetstones which may help to get better finish than now. But I seriously doubt if I will be able to successfully strop this carbide tip plane. I would really appreciate a guidance on carbide tipped plane.
So I’m knew to all this and I have a kobalt trimming plane. All I’m doing is shaving some small 1 in branches to make them have a little bit of a flat side. Anyways I can’t seem to get this thing set right and I’m not real sure how to sharpen it. Would I sharpen it like one in this video.
One thing I learned from Paul Sellers is to be sure I don't lift up on the back end of the blade throughout the strop stroke.
Great advice
Why not?
@@RQFLS because not maintaining the angle while stropping can dull the edge that we worked so hard for. Even if on a minuscule level.
@@RQFLS edited the original content to clarify a little more.
Very true. For me I find the pressure JKM is using is more than needed. Maybe it’s the strop, or leather, as I make my strops.
That video delivered only and exactly what I wanted to see and info I was looking for, edited nicely, and to the point (couldn't avoid that pun, sorry). Well done. Gonna go sharpen with this technique rather than read the idiot commenters who disagree with this. Go do something.
do ou have a link to the veratas jig?
I was thinking wouldn’t a magnetic honing guide be much easier to use and work well? Maybe a product you could work your Katz Magic
Thoughts on using abrasive sheets on float glass such as the scary sharp technique from Matthew Platt at Workshop Heaven?
Whatever works but sandpaper wears pretty quickly when wet and without moisture it would get clogged quickly
Works great. Use mylar backed abrasive such as used for polishing the ends of fiber optic cable. The abrasive lasts a long time, and using a little water keeps it clear. Use diamond stones for coarse work. My sheet abrasives start at 25um and go down to 0.3um, no stropping required.
That last step doing the back; could stropping take care of that burr the same way?
I don't even own an plane, only came here because I find this do therapeutic 😌
What is the strop doing to the iron exactly?
I use it to shave hairs off my arm to know if it’s really shard wonderfull lesson I have problems with sharpening my carving Chizels they are very tricky because most of them are concave or v shape have any lesson on those?
Yes, go back to school and learn how to spell you dickwad.
Am I to understand that on a low angle plane you would put a primary bevel of 20 and a micro of 25?
I saw rob cosman do the same back bevel. He calls it the will walker ruler trick..... guy must be good 😝
No he doesn't! He calls it correctly the David Charlesworth ruler trick 😃
Robert Amsbury shoosh! 😉😝
Sir my question is my blade is easy gone the sharp what kind of blade are you using it my is stanley 2" wide but easy remove the sharpness what can do
Whats the strawp for? Or does
I cannot emphasize enough....just the tip!
So trying to build a workbench to make stuff; need a plane tool to get the surface, need a angle jig and grindstone to sharpen the plane tool to make a bench to make stuff; roger!
Some of the links (water stones, polishing compound, and leather strop) are either not working or the item is “unavailable.” Do you have some alternative links or alternative item suggestions for those?
Woodcraft.com
You make it look so easy but it’s not for a beginner, too complicated
That Veritas jig must be the most uncomfortable and cumbersome one out there. Their parallel jaw offering is way better, more so than the LN if I may say so. I've tried every method of sharpening under the sun and always gone back to a jig for repeatability and precision. Just don't push it forward (rounds the edge) or strop (rounds the edge). Start on diamond stone(s) and finish on a fine water stone with a small micro bevel up another couple of degrees. Keep the iron dead flat or use the Charlesworth ruler trick. Job done.
I've been reluctant to buy a decent hand plane other than a $10 one from the big box store. I can't afford to epically mess up during the sharpening process. But your videos lately have been very educational in that area. Not ready to pull the trigger yet but I'm getting there. :) Thanks for all your help.
Mr Harrison says hello, Jonathan Katz-Moses.
Is this for minor repair because my blades need to at least start at 220 grit due to chips in the steal. Usually this is from me planning only two sides of a board. Watching everyone makes me feel I need better blades.
The easiest way to get scary sharp blades is to throw them against the wall, then send them to Jonathan Katz-Moses and ask “why video no work for me?”
Hahahaha yep
I'd like to see how that blade does on pine endgrain.
Why is that? I’m a newb and I just got my first hand plane. Pine is pretty soft no?
@@assnapkined9295 It is, and that's the issue. It will crush before it cuts if the iron isn't sharp enough.
For me as a metal person it is very interesting to see these planes. Honestly I have never seen a "standard" low angle plane" before. I did not even know they existed. I actually never held a plane made from steel in my hands. It really seems as if german carpentership is somewhat behind in that field. All I am used to is those nasty wooden planes that no one expect a zen master can set up right.
My great grandfather and grandfather both were farmers and part time black smith. My father remember that at home there was about 30 different home made plane, every one for different job. Now one router bit = one plane.
Thank you for the informartions. What plane i should buy as a beginner. Low angle or standard ?
check out this playlist czcams.com/video/JBFfFhQzkhY/video.html
Would you feather the edges on a block plane as well?
Sure.
All planes except maybe some specialty ones
Jonathan Katz-Moses thanks
Any reason you don't use the micro-bevel option on the Veritas jig?
I think mine doesn't work right and I think even if it did it only lifts one side so it skews the blade
@@katzmosestools Most likely operator error. Mine works fine.
@@davidshaper5146 if that's the case let's switch. I'll pay for postage ;-)
You'd be surprised how many plane owners install the blade upside down after 'sharpening'. It works better if it's installed as designed.
