Good refresher Mike, you always hit the key points we need to remember.
I try. Thanks.
Good refresher. Thanks, very helpful
Glad you enjoyed it, Mark!
A boat load of great information Mike! Thanks for sharing. Take care, Dave
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for these detailed explanations, Mike.
You are welcome, Lewis!
Good video. Great presentation.
Thank you kindly!
Great lessons Mike.
Thanks!
Thank You!!!
Welcome!
Great stuff. Terminology and "sub-skills" like sharpening are key to getting better for rookies like me. I really appreciate these kinds of videos. As I type this, I realize that I really appreciate all your videos. Thanks so much.
Glad to help, Jim!
My rule is, when any thought of sharpening enters my head, it's time to sharpen.
Indeed.
I have made 13 tool handles out of PVC and 1 inch wooden dowel. They fit my hands perfectly, I can make them any weight and length and they cost about 2 dollars to make, ok maybe 3 with the epoxy. You started me down this path a couple of years ago. Thanks very much, I have saved a LOT of money which I have re-invested in more tools of course!!
Sounds great!
Very good demo Mike. Excellent sharpening tips. Especially good point about using a mask while sharpening.👍👍 Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe. 🙂 PS Be looking for you at AAW.
Look forward to meeting you, Glen.
mike, as always, love your videos. could you give the name of that flexible angle finder you demonstrated at the grinder. also i really love the pvc trick. getting too many lines marked on my vari grind
Are you talking bout this? www.ptreeusa.com/turn_accessories_angle_checkers.html
I am always confused about on the Oneway jig at what position does one set the angle. It has notches from the bottom to the top so from the bottom are you up 2 notches as shown in your video. Please advise because I ground a spindle gouge too shallow. I get mixed info from videos about the distance from the Oneway gauge to the tip of the gouge. I really over ground my old spindle gouge. Thanks for the great video. I enjoyed your presentation
Good question! I answer this in a video I provided a link to in the video but the links do not show up when watching on some devices, I provide an explanation here kzhead.info/sun/jchsibV-lppopXA/bejne.html
Sharpening is as big a challenge as turning in my case. One tip I might share with those who use a sharpening system like Wolverine or Kodiak - try sharpening gouges with the handles removed. I have a few tools with very long (for me) handles. I bought a couple of metal, hollow handles that use grub screws to hold the bit in place. If I take the handle off to sharpen the edge I don't have a "cow's tail" in my way. Another thing I learned is that jigs that index the tool at the end of the handle depend on the handle and bit being perfectly aligned. I sighted down a few of my wood handled tools and found that many are misaligned. Hope that helps somebody.
Thanks for sharing, Brad.
Hey Mike. I’ve got an older grinder inherited from my father which is a Grizzley with a larger slow turning wet wheel with a reservoir for water. Also it has a 5” high speed wheel. Do you think it’s worth trying to make this work or get diamond two wheel grinder? I’m thinking the water wheel might be too slow for HSS or harder? The 5” wheel may not be big enough esp for a jig but might be able to make it work.
Hard to say. If it has turning tool sharpening jigs I would say give it a try. Lots of folks love a Tormek. And many dislike the messy water bath and buy a 10" CBN wheel. Otherwise check out WoodturnersWonders.com for their sharpening system/accessories.
Oh, one other reason not to hold the jig on the bottom: if the tool slips off the wheel (not that such a thing would ever happen 😬) the wheel can grab and slam the tool down. You don’t want your hand in the way if that happens.
I agree. I saw one noted woodturner suggesting holding from the bottom but I just could not see that being a good way.
Good info as always. I see you're wearing what appears to be a fitbit (or similar) on your wrist. You have to be careful with those things. I wore one once and the damned thing called the coroner and reported me dead.
How handy is that? Glad it was not accurate, Ron.
@@MikePeaceWoodturning Me too. My understanding is that most people don't recover from autopsies. LOL
