I first saw the scary sharp method in either Wood magazine or in American Wood Worker magazine back when it was produced by Rodale. Maybe it was Wood Smith. One of those the system works. I’ve never used the paper you used but I have used wet/dry sand paper on glass sheets that came out of an old storm door. I’m going to get this paper and give it a shot. Thank you!!!
The float glass link comes up 404.
Just received the sharpening system from Taylor Tools. To say this system is absolutely perfect is an understatement. I have never gotten my chisels this sharp. thanks for sharing this
the white sheet feels like the backing paper from a shipping label!
As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement czcams.com/users/postUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!
I used to use this paper when I worked in semiconductors years ago. My boss was an avid woodworker and would bring in his chisels for some side projects for me. 😆 We had ways of going higher than 60,000, but it was getting silly at that point.
This is amazing!!!
Stay tuned! On the next video, Jonathan will teach you how to stitch your own wound and use a tourniquet.
Something I am very knowledgable on hahaha
Can't wait to try this sharpening system. Thanks for another great video.
No video about how to get something scary sharp would be complete without the guy doing the video having at least one Band-Aid on a finger :-)
When I gift one of my carvings, I can literally say it was made with "blood, sweat and tears!"
He really should have a beard though! How can you take a wood man seriously without one?
@Nickvec 🤢
@@billywillis47 but with razor sharp chisels, i would expect to see patchy facial hair rather than a full beard. I hone and register mine with wet stones and shaving my arms is how i test them first lol
When I got my first tormek I didn't understand why they sent me a box of bandaids without any comment in any of the package literature. I certainly understood within a week!
I found this method on a shaving forum, for sharpening my cut throat razor, a few years back and it revolutionised things for me
finaly a channel that explains things that a novice can understand...thank you for the great videos
He does it again... another awesome & informative video! Thanks Jonathan!
I've been on that very set on Amazon for a couple of weeks now. In conjunction with my diamond stones, I would have a pretty good setup. Thanks for demonstrating this product.
Thanks for this! Self taught and learning lots. Your videos are a pleasure to watch.
Jonathan, your content is always so helpful, thank you for posting such good videos. I for one, really appreciate you teaching this beginner woodworker the trade.
I saw this in Amazon when I searched for float glass and your video confirmed how good I thought this was! Thanks!!! definitely wish I knew about this before.
I took a class on sharpening at Highland Hardware in Atlanta and I always had the sharpest chisels on a job site.
Wow great video! Totally ordering these now...I have a set of Narex that have gotten pretty beat up, I've never sharpened chisels before. Pretty confusing and expensive with the diamond/water stones. I did get a honing guide, so I just need the glass and paper. Awesome!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. Great demo video.
I have been looking for a reasonably priced sharpening option. Jonathan Katz-Moses for the win. Like always.
I have used this system for about a year now. I works great. I have been looking where to buy these sheets. Thanks for you information. I enjoy watching your videos and I always learn something new each one.
Thanks for the new sharpening video. Didn’t want to commit to Waterstones. Just ordered this set up.
Just received my set yesterday. Thanks much, Johnny K.
So cool to find an affordable easy sharpening solution. I have been looking at stones the last few days trying to figure out how I'm going to fit it into the budget. This is right on time.
Dear Jonathan. Thank you for all your work. I mean it, you have provided us with so many ways to improve and learn and just when I watch your video on sharpening with waterstones and start to decide whether or not I'm going to buy myself those expensive diamond whetstones or not, you upload this video. I wish you the best and have a nice day!
Great video and attitude, as always. Cheers!
Wish I had seen this video before buying new stones then getting a whole new sharpening system. Always seemed like I needed a special PHD to sharpen irons and chisels. Thanks for the video.
When I first started, I fell into the trap of obsessing over sharpening. I appreciate you emphasizing that it doesn't have to be perfect as long as it works.
I was sharpening a plane iron yesterday, getting frustrated at my crummy system while doing so. After watching this video, I have just placed an order for the paper you used. I already have the glass, and can't wait to try this new paper. Wish me luck.
Just got all this stuff and man it’s so amazing how easy it is
This is a great! I had been researching arkansas, water and diamond stones but what you have shared will work in minimal space (garage workshop where I still need to park my car). I was getting ready to sell my guitar and amp to buy a sharpening stone system! Crisis averted!
I bought the Scary Sharp system when I first started woodworking a few years back and it has been great, however, I do wish this video had been around then. I love the water advice on how to attach the paper without bubbles, very helpful. And the number of times I have cut the paper going back and forth hahaha. I will learn one day. Great video :) Thank a lot
Thanks for laying this out so clear
Been looking for something just like this. Already picked it up. Thanks!
The cheapest chisels money can buy are now scary sharp. You da' man!
You are crazy Sharp!! Always like your videos!
Enjoyed it Jonathan,good vid!
Jonathan, this is an excellent video with amazing information! Thanks!!! I’m going to get me a set-up with third-sheet glass 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great video, I have been using this system for years.
Thank you. This channel is such a great resource!
Cheers my friend!
Yes, I think this is thee best way to sharpen. Thanks for your fine video/s, and all the links that you supply. Very well done sir
This is actually a really good find! i have some good stones but will deff give this a shot!
This is the method that I use, and it was the first time I ever had that nice zip sound that a sharp plane blade gives you, it's also the first time that I got excited to use a chisel!
Personally, I used my table saw surface since it is nice and flat, and I just make sure to keep it waxed so that I don't get it all rusty.
Excellent video. Nice to see someone who has a gregarious larger than life attitude with a big heart. Going to try this method on my next day off. Very nice ideas.
Thank you thank you thank you! I have needed a video like this. Something cheap that works will make me very happy. You are a gentleman and a scholar!
It's a great way to break into the sharpening game
Thank you for bring this idea to my life....the wife gave this to me for xmas. I just finished sharpening my first chisel and I was blown away....stupid easy w stupid sharp results👍
Tried to order these as soon as the vid came out and they were all sold out! Just got some yesterday, along with a few combo/dual squares. Love the site. Great sharpening method.... that 60 grit 👌🏻👌🏻💎
Those end grain shavings are legit! That's impressive. Found my new sharpening system.
Was sharpening my drill bits with a cheap plastic jig and this sandpaper for the last 20 odd years. Works incredibly well. Although I used MDF and not glass because, well, glass...
Thank you for demoing this system
Thanks! Nice job explaining.
So, I followed your advice, and bought the Taylor Toolworks sharpening set, and it really works extremely well ! got my chisels really sharp, also the planer blades.. Had no idea my amazon planer could work so well !
Thanks just ordered this
Just got my set in the mail after watching this day of release. I am already amazed by the results! Thank you, much appreciated!
Felix garcia I ordered mine. Sandpaper doesn’t stick to the glass at all. Biggest waste of money.
Have you figured out why the paper won’t stick? I’m really interested. Any comment from the company?
Thanks Jonathan. Finally a sharpening system that doesn't require a young fortune to own. Great video! Thanks
Got system works outstanding, never got my tools that sharp before. Supper easy. Crazy sharp, in fact I used chisel and sliced finger and did not even know it. Besides cutting finger love it.
Just did this with a chisel i had laying around. It worked amazingly well. A sharp chisel is pretty neat compared to when it was dull
great system I was using water stones but I think this is probably the way to go.Thanks
Hey, thanks for this great video! And... The music you played as you showed the set-up of this system was great instead of the usual. 😎 I plan to get the materials for this and get going with it. Thanks again.
Perfect vid thank you
my "scary sharp" kit just arrived and I was able to get a grizzly number 4 and and cheapie home depot block plane to plane like a charm after properly setting them up and using the methods above... I never knew planing could be fun.. thank you for this!!!
I've been using various types of paper/ Emory cloth mounted on display shelf glass with success but I think this is better, thanks.
Based on this video alone I ordered the set with the (3) pieces of glass as well as the guide. Thanx!
Sweet!! You just saved me over $100! Thanks!!
I started sharpening my chisels using a method that Robin Lewis showed on his channel. It was easy and inexpensive too, but since I don't use or need to sharpen them very often, I've misplaced almost everything involved. Not to mention my belt sander is inoperative at the moment, so I'm going to buy into this system and make sure I don't l misplace anything. No belt sander needed!
Great video tutorial. Thanks for making it.
Thank you so much for this video. I have probably spent around $100 on only 2 stones and some lubricant additive and I still have trouble getting my backside flat at times. This system was the answer to everything I have been researching the last couple days in hopes to hone in my chisel/ plane blades. I have been a big follower of William Douglas for a while now and found your page through one of his videos when you visited his new shop a while back. You both are my first go to wealths of woodworking information anytime I start researching. Point in case… this very video. Thanks again!
This is great! Thank you for this vid!!
Cheers bud!
One hell of a video! Great work Bub :) Subscribed! thank you for that 👍🤟👍
I did the same thing with pieces of granite and sandpaper from car paint supplier. Worked out great
I just searched them, and they are also available and also cheap in Germany. I will order them directly thank you very much!
Thank you!💜
I am new to woodworking. I have been looking up ways to sharpen. I think this is the system I will go with. Thanks for the video.
It's a great way to get started for sure
Thanks for the info! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Got my scary sharp system all set up and ready to go. Just waiting on my new LN rabbet block plane and veritas honing guide in the mail. I can’t wait! So far I’ve been trying to keep my edges star sharp using the wet stones I sharpen my clipper blades with. 😂
Great video. TY
Thanks mate, from a chippy in Australia...subbed!
Welp, I ordered the honing guide, the glass and sand paper. I’ve be been in the market now for a while for a sharpening system. Was going to go with the diamond plates, but didn’t wanna spend the money. It looks like this system will work well. And for 70 bucks, it’s right where I wanna be.
Bought the paper and glass…. Worked awesome. Thanks
We have been honing straight razors on lapping films for years. Works great.
Just got mine in the mail today. Can’t wait!
So, how is it?
Thanks for your sharing friend
Great information.
Ordered! I've Struggled with effective sharpening so hopefully this will be the thing that gets me there!
Hooked Workshop hopefully worked better for you then for me. My sandpaper doesn’t stick to the glass at all.
So guys, 10 months later, how are you getting on with this?
Is this really cheaper than stones long term?
How's it been?
These are great sheets, I use them on wicked edge glass platens
Haha, had autoplay on without realizing. Was watching a different channel when this video queued up...thought...sounds like katz-moses. Turns out it's you. Nice video. I tried making this myself. Works amazing.
Good and valuable video. Thanks. Only thing I do differently is put a hollow bevel on first but I'm not sure that even matters.
Just wanted to stop by show some love and positive energy.
Got mine today. Incredible bargain!
Just used the scary sharp system for the first time, and holy cow. Razor sharp tools in a fraction of the time. Had to take one of my chisels to a 220 diamond stone to fix a big booger of a mark on the edge, then 4 minutes on the 3m paper and it is like a barbershop razor. Thanks for sharing this!
I read about the scary sharp system years ago on rec.woodworking, but didn't know about the 3M paper you used. Very nice, indeed! I'll be getting some of that to replace what I currently use, which is nowhere near the grits available here. I also use polished marble tiles for my backers, which works great.
I haven't *really* thought about Scary Sharp in years, though I've used it for decades, shortly after Stephen LaMantia wrote that rec.woodworking post. For these interested, it is well worth reading. groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!topic/rec.woodworking/rGAGAPR-6ks
Going to get a set of those papers right now and see if I can make my crappy chisels usable. Thanks for sharing!
I can't begin to tally the number of stones and sharpening systems I've bought over the years. I tried this system following Jonathan's instructions and it works down to the mirror finish where I can see myself on bevel of the chisel (I thought he was kidding). Thank you!!!
that is a great system for anyone. I have whetstones and diamond plates and wet dry paper and all have pros and cons. but this system is the best of all the worlds, but at a fraction of the cost of the diamond plates or whetstones!! Might need to change up systems!
OUtstanding. Thanks for the info. I was looking at stones and the prices are just crazy, and of course the extra step of flattening the stones again. I am definitely going to need to get this.
Absolutely. That is why I have really started to love this system
@@katzmosestools Just ordered it in fact
Awesome video. I sharpen my pocket knifes with the lanskey to 2000 grit. After that I strop it with 1.0 micron paste and next 0,5 micron. It gives a razer sharp mirror edge!
Believe this. Saw it a while back and tried it. I make guitars, so I need very sharp chisels but they don't get much in the way of hard treatment. I've had the same papers on for 6 months used with Trend lapping fluid and they are still good. Don't usually bother with the honing guide any more. It's also scary cheap.
When I first got into woodworking as a hobby I didn’t understand why anyone would want to use hand tools. Fast forward two years, and I have tons of frustrations that are easily solved with hand tools and have started moving in theta direction. Think this sharpening system is on my Xmas list this year.
Just ordered
This is great. I've been using my King water stones for a very long time. They work great on chisels (finest grit 6000), but with my venture into handplaning, I need better as the stones are getting pretty thin. Was looking at Shapton glass backed stones and just haven't been able to pull the trigger. This is a superbly viable option. I get 3/8" float glass from a friend as remnants. Fist-bumps, hugs, high fives @ you. :-)
Thank you!
Just ordered! Thanks for all the links. Shipping to Canada is super reasonable too
I take back the comment about shipping to Canada. Their website has a glitch and does not show the right Canadian shipping cost. Ugh.
@@furthernorthfab Lee Valley carries the 3m film in Canada.
I really wish I'd known about this two years ago, Jonathan. When I first started, I found it to be a very confusing subject, which has resulted in me going down the rabbit hole of water stones and diamond stones. As much as I like the two variations that I now own, as a mature student, it would have helped me learn faster and gain good technique if I'd have found this method first. I dread to think how much I've spent... money I really could have done with saving and put into other tools I needed. Great video and I just know this system will help a lot of people.
I wouldnt dismiss those other accessories, as they both have their own benefits. Diamond cuts faster than anything and waterstones develop a slurry, both can act to one's advantage.
@@BRENDANTHERED. Didn’t even see this.
Please, understand that I haven’t dismissed those other choices, only that this system works very well and gives great results. In my experience, water stones are very messy and diamond stones are a hell of a lot of of money, again, in comparison to the Scary Sharp System. If you haven’t used it, it actually cuts very well (especially the 100 micron film) and leaves a beautiful mirror finish with the 1 micron film. It’s a great system at a very affordable price and having used it more since I made the original comment, I’m more convinced than ever.
I liked the sandpaper system, is very very cheap. For my country only one cost around 1 PEN (1dollar -> 3.7 or 3.5 PEN)
