Matt, your videos on sharpening and setting a plane blade have taught me I've been doing it wrong for 55 years. That you are right is absolutely clear from the results I've immediately gotten. I've spent the evening sharpening all seven planes. Easy - and Spectacular -- thanks.
Single best and most comprehensive lapping and sharpening video or lesson I have ever seen.
Hey Matt, I'm just a woodworking apprentice at the moment... but man you show me once again why this craft is the best in the world. Thanks for the motivation again and again and again. Looking forward to your next video.
Ah man, that’s nice. Good luck with you’re woodworking career bro ✌️
This is the legit method. Everyone else is full of it. Do this if you want to do it right.
Oh please, it's not magic and not the only way to sharpen a plane blade.
@@buckhorncortez there's always two ways to do everything. The right way and all of the other ways. This here is the right way. Although I would beg to differ with his honing choices. But on hollow ground tools it's a minor quibble. Being as you have to hone so little anyways. And you're right it isn't magic. You use the right techniques and you get the correct results. Everything else is just faffing about.
What an OUTSTANDING presentation. Video and audio quality is excellent. Matt, you speak clearly, and your carefully explained processes are so helpful. One of the best presentations I have heard in years. I have learnt much and very grateful to you. Well done and thank you.
I've seen around 50 vids on sharpening, but the small sketch you did for the primary and secondary bevels and when to actually flatten the whole thing again to ~25, was the extra mile. Congrats man!
This video has by far been the best at explaining the what, why, and how to getting a proper camber on a planing iron/blade. Many thanks for this very insightful video - and for the many others that keep us "sharp!"
Again Matt, you do such a good job at making all the knowledge easy to grasp and apply. Love your teaching method.
By far the best plane sharpening instruction I've found. My planes are next level now thanks to following your instruction. I had made a mess of them trying to sharpen without a honing guide. Thanks so much, great stuff!
Love the start. You're killing me with the hammer thing. And so nice to get back to instructional videos. Really liked your other stuff, but knowledge transfer from you is worth gold.
I'm only half way into this video and I can honestly say that it's the best video on this topic out there. I've watched countless, and none got this done so well. Saved and subscribed. Well done.
Brilliant video mate wood working was my first profession i then went on to military service and now im a lori driver and am looking to get back into wood working and videos like this are exactly what i was looking for as a refresher...cheers
My 15 year old son has recently shown an interest in woodwork. I have never really had a clue and my dad unfortunately died 3 years before Jack was born so we haven't got the master to teach us. Recently helped my mum go through the garage and sort out some of dad's old tool hoard. I have the whetstones and planes and this video is really going to help us sharpen everything. Thank you despite the fact that it's a 2 year old video. Liked and subscribed
Is there any rule of thumb to tell me what these 3 stones are? Colour, finger roughness etc?
Must be in the blood!
@@Beamish32 just get an oil stone. yes the king wet stone will get a stupid finish to the blade its not necessary and a waste of time. if you can ... like he says, get the tip of the blade polished and your are 90%
I love the smell of fresh content at 3:00am in the morning. Smells like... insomnia!
As a beginner, these videos are second to none. Good job man.
This is a video i would have loved when i was starting out. You have a gift for teaching and you do so in a quick and concise way.
Dude: you humble me. I have been sharpening edges for years for all kinds of tasks, and you not only taught me something new; but, you reminded me of things I had forgotten. I don't think English has a word for that. Thank you so much.
Hi Matt - I'm really glad (and lucky) to have found you and your videos. Thank you so much for taking the time to teach us the right way to do things. You are seriously appreciated.
Followed video and I’ve never had my plane perform like this ever before. Thank you. The camber part was 🙌 godsend
As a hobbyist knife maker, seeing you hammer the edge just sent shivers along my spine. Great video on sharpening!
I really like your thorough teaching of each specific part. Thank You.
Matt, I really like your teaching style. I’m new to woodworking and am looking for a way into this beautiful craft. I really feel as though I have learned a lot from each of your videos, thank you.
You are confident about giving advice without ever coming across as arrogant, quite the opposite. You know, and say, if there is something you are not experienced at/with.
😊😊😊👍
Best woodworking tutorials on CZcams! Thank you Matt!
Matt be back on the YT grind :^)
Hello friend
Hi Matt, use your videos to support our learners. Always good to show that we all have slightly different methods. Full of content. I have a personal grind (Pun) with the figure 8 as I was taught by old old traditional carpenter joiners who indoctrinated that figure 8s for gouges only, and this habit differentiated the craft from the prolatariate. Flat grinding flat stone. Mind you they had many stones for many cutting blades. Same with hand strop. Very old joiners would have a leather, however their hands were much tougher because they did more work than these day with hand tools.
Thanks Matt. I still remember the moment I had the ahh ha moment and discovered what sharp really felt like. It really is that moment when everything becomes far more enjoyable. I recently sold my L-N No° 5 for my L-N No° 5-1/2; so now the No° 4 and 5-1/2 are my only bevel down planes; LAG, Shooting, and Jointer, etc are all bevel up. Finding what sharp really is, is probably the first moment where one can make genuine strides towards what ‘forever’ tools they’re going to settle on.
Thank for the content and I’m looking forward to the next woodworking school project 👍
Great Video. The best explanation i have found and went straight out to the shed and for the first time managed to get the blade sharp and then take proper shavings. Thank you. 👍
great diagrams. Better than Rob's descriptions. Earned a subscription from me for this! Thanks!
I've watched many sharpening videos over the years and improved my technique and results gradually, but stropping by hand never worked for me till I watched this video. My honing compound always crumbled on the strop and I used to get poor results. Just a few drops of 3 in 1 oil was all I've been missing, and nobody else mentioned that. Thanks Matt!
Best sharpening video yet. Thanks you explained everything.
10/10 video. Dense, fact-based, very well presented.
I want to thank you. I took shop class starting in 8th grade thru 12th. my shop teachers never showed anything about the plane. I didn't know the parts let alone how to use or sharpen. Their way of teaching was here is the plane there's the wood. Oh yeah, I'm 77years old. Thanks again.
I love your tutorials on sharping you explain it so well.And by following you method my planes and chisels are razor sharp so thanks heaps
You're a phenomenal teacher, man.
you have the best woodworking videos on YT. TY.
Again - super informative and educational that is easily digestible :-) thank you for helping me get my sharpening to the next level!!
Hey Matt, I'm IT world member, who sometime like to do an work at woodworking by my hands. Your tips is the best and very understandable from what I have ever seen ever. Huge Thanks!
I was literally looking for something to put on while I regrind and touch up an old plane I'm restoring... Remarkably good timing
Wow that’s great timing lucky you!!
Great video Matt, I always pick up something new from your videos. The ruler trick is very handy to know and also your doing a great job explaining it simple for us common folk.
🙏🤝🤝🤝
Fantastically clear explanation of how to sharpen a chisel or plane blade. Thanks.
Brilliant. I have watched a few videos on this subject - and this is by far the best.
I'm so happy your back to the instructional videos! Keep them coming.
Hello sir 🙏🤝🤝🤝
Great stuff! Youve already got an incredible leg up on the world having accrued such a solid knowledge base at such a fresh young age, no truly wise older person would ever hold something like that against you unless of course he was just incredibly jealous!
You give a thoroughly good presentation. Your explanations and demos are great and your knowledge on the subject matter is outstanding. Thanks very much for an invaluable and enjoyable video,
the camber on the plane…that’s next level and left out of a LOT of tutorials. next level stuff as always!
Hi Matt. I just need to tell you that I have finally managed to sharpen my no4 plane and have made shavings!!! Have watched your tutorials at least 5 times! Thank you.
Loved the video, very informative, especially on the camber on plane blade. Thank you soo much.
Awesome demonstration I learned a lot can’t wait to try it out
Fantastic, Matt! Thanks a bunch! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Excellent video, thank you Matt.
I was taught by a Master Joiner in 1963, 7 year apprenticeship so I know a little about wood, however, your sharpening method is 2nd to none, loved watching it.
Ps . Karma story was a cracker lol , you never stop learning in this game however long you've been in the trade, well done and thanks
Brilliantly done. Thank you very much. Very well presented video.
Another awesome tutorial. Thanks Matt
A video jam-packed with good stuff. Great job.
So thorough you are very good at explaining in detail I have not used a plane so far but I feel very confident to do so well done mate
Thank you I have always been confused about planes thank you for sharing your knowledge. Very much appreciated
Excellent and thorough video
Gonna put this on tonight while sharpening my new wooden planes and one Rapier 400.
Great video Matt, everything you need to know.
Great video! Thank you!
Excellent video - I watch these types of videos and your presentation is very good.
That plane is just beautiful!
Great video. Randomly popped up on my feed but found it really informative. Thanks!
Superb instructions thanks
Cheers fella, as a 35yr old who is getting back into woodworking after not doing much since my apprenticeship, this is very useful!!
Excellent and very helpful!
this is a super good video a sharpening. Everything you did cached my attention. Bravo
Man! Thank you so much for making all your video, I learned so much from watching just a few! live for 100 years!
I finally understand this plane stuff! Thank you!
wow! thank you for the excellent demo
Matt, thanks for such great explanation and demo. Every day is a school day.
I just bought 2 planes in great shape at an antique store for $10. I dont really know how to use them but I have a big project that requires I learn fast. You answered a lot of questions in this video alone. I now understand backlash, setup, and sharpening much better.
This guy just earned a subscription
Best general explanation!
Excellent demo
Excellent. Super good. Thanks. Appreciated.
very nice video, clever explanations , congratulations !!!
Keep making videos. You are good at this.
Thank you! That is a good tutorial. I saw quite a lot videos about this and I found my own way but... Now I see I was really doing some mistakes... This will make my sharpening better and faster! Thanks, Tomas
Great video!
Nice I really like your video. Value able information.
Wow, what a great video....thanks learned heaps
You are very easy to listen to.
Absolutely fantastic video. Incredibly info-dense, while also being entirely accessible and digestible. Not to mention genuinely funny ("Oh that didn't w-" _JUMP CUT_ ).
As a newbie, to be reassured about the things that don't matter is incredibly freeing, allowing me to concern myself only with the things that _do_ (such as "NEVER ADD A BACK-BEVEL TO YOUR CHISELS", which I _may well_ have done had I not been told otherwise at exactly this point).
And to not only be given some clarity around the terminology (eg. the distinctions between sharpening/lapping/honing/grinding/polishing) but also have it explained that these terms are not even strictly defined, really helps with information-overload and the "analysis paralysis" that afflicts so many of us beginners.
Thank you so much.
Awesome video Matt
Amazing - thx very much for this!!
This is a bloody good video, well produced, well edited, good script, subbed
brilliant video - I learned so much 🙂
It's great to see you go back to your roots of these tutorials. of course you're other content is also good.
Thank you!
Thank you Sir.🎉
Pura vida Matt great explanation thanks this videos help me a lot in order to improve my sharpening techniques.pura vida Matt and guys
Camber. brilliant...I can do scary sharp plane blades but the tip on the camber was one I haven't heard yet (yet makes perfect sense). Thanks!
Thanks Matt another really helpful video. Cheers Dave
English humor! Fantastic and addictive! LOL.
This is really informative, great tips that would take years to learn. Loved the intro, nice bit of humour😂.
Excellent
Brilliant as usual Matt. Best explanation I’ve heard. And a Lost Art Press book on the shelf behind you. Feckin genius.
He is a teacher at woodworking school. So that explains why he can explain things so understandable.
thanks for sharing!
Beautiful
