- I explain how to setup your sharpening jig for quick repeatable results. I also discuss some simple tools to help make things easier. I explain how to easily sharpen a bowl gouge and a detail spindle gouge.
Very good job explaining something that had me confused for years. Thank you!
Awesome! I’m really glad it was helpful to you.
Great advice. Love the videos..... Thanks!
Thank you!
Great training video!
Thanks Dave! I like the username. You might like the fishing lure video I made last fall on my channel.
I really like your sharpening videos. I would like it if you could do one on how to take a spindle gouge and make a detail spindle gouge.
I’ll see what I can do. I have some old school swallow spindle gouges and I have a detail spindle gouge. I may not have a normal spindle gouge but I could do a video on the differences and how they would be sharpened. Stay tuned and thanks for the suggestion!
This was a nice explanation, BUT in a few places he got confused between “concave” and “convex” especially when he was describing the shape of the wings.
I described it correctly with hand motions but my dumb brain kept saying concave! Arg…
Very nice good information
Thank you!
Nice video for beginning turners. If you dig back into Captain Eddie Castellin videos, he has some dimensions he recommended too, along with some sharpening tips.
Captain Eddie helped me a lot when I was just getting started!
What do you think of non-Wolverine sharpening systems? Would be cool to see you compare a few. The Pro-Grind from Peachtree, for example, is half the cost of Wolverine. But is it as good? Trying to decide which to buy
I could contact them and see if they might send me one to review. These systems really are not that complicated. So as long as there is a platform, a sliding arm to receive a jig, and a jig to hold a gouge at a certain stick out; it should be fine. Maybe the Wolverine system is higher quality but if you need to save money I’m sure the pro-grind would do just fine. Some people actually make their own sharpening jigs out of wood or metal. I think how secure the platform locks into a certain angle would be the only thing that low quality might cause issues with. So I would read reviews specific to the platform. The other components are just so superficial that even low quality should be fine in my opinion. Probably not the educated answer you need but my best attempt without one in my hands.
@@woodworkingmcdanielstyle thanks! Good tips. Would be cool to see you review one
I’ll try!
How do you find angle on grinder with digital angle finder
Not sure I understand the question entirely but will try to answer. First I put the angle gauge on the Oneway jig base and zero it out. Then I put it on the platform and it shows what angle the platform is at in reference to the base. If the grinding wheels were not round then the angle on the turning tools would match this platform angle. But the wheels are round and slightly angled away from the platform. That’s why a 40 degree platform angle doesn’t produce a 40 degree angle on the tool. Hopefully that makes sense and helps. If that didn’t answer, please reword the question and I’ll try again.
@@woodworkingmcdanielstyle So what degree for platform to produce a 45 degree angle on tool
@glendanicol 32-33 degrees
