  1. Just found a YouTube video from Lie-Nielsen...

    Just found a YouTube video from Lie-Nielsen simply called Chisel Sharpening which, well, is about Chisel Sharpening :-)

    In that video Deneb from LN flattens his water stones (4000 + 8000 grit)...

    So the Narex chisels arrived.

    I've read good reviews all around and they were easy to flatten and sharpen using only a 5 micron paper.
    I didn't bother going any lower (in micron which equates to...
  3. I'm looking at water stones that are splash and...

    I'm looking at water stones that are splash and go and after reading reviews etc. it seems possible to have very little mess.
    Perhaps I'm mistaken...



    How much effort is neeed to flatten an...

    While not trying to startup sharpening thread number 99999999, would you care to elaborate?

    I've been using camelia oil on my Scary Sharp setup and it doesn't make me more positive about it....

    I should have specified that the paper I have on stock (and plenty of it, one wouldn't want to ever run dry...*sigh*) is with adhesive backing, so I doubt your method would work properly.

    I think...

    No news yet - waiting for shipment of some Narex 8116 chisels so I can compare.
    They are certainly not the worlds most expensive chisels, but have received good reviews when price is taken into the...

    I bought a couple of Narex 8116 chisels.
    Nowhere near the quality of the PM-V11s but based on reviews very good value for the money.
    Having read reviews of the PM-V11s just now however they really...

    Hi Lasse,

    I live just outside Roskilde.

    Thanks for the kind offer, but I've actually just ordered some other chisels to try out to rule out the Bergs.

    If I were to try your PMV-11 I would...
  9. I used a single flat bevel for the 25 degrees,...

    I used a single flat bevel for the 25 degrees, then a microbevel or even a second bevel at 30 degrees.

    I'm not dismissing the chisels yet as I'm now trying to grind/sharpen the chisel all over...
  10. How can I verify if the edge is smooth or not?...

    How can I verify if the edge is smooth or not?
    The edge is sharpened with finer and finer grits until it has a mirror finish, but I don't have a magnifying glass so perhaps it's not smooth enough.
    ...
  11. Alright, applied a file to the already dull...

    Alright, applied a file to the already dull chisels and it slid across the steel, so it seems they are not that soft.

    I will try again with 30 degrees and softer wood. Let's see what happens:-)
  12. As I wrote earlier I've tried two different 10mm...

    As I wrote earlier I've tried two different 10mm chisels albeit both E.A. Bergs.

    I have other chisels, but would it matter if the width is not the same?
    I assume a chisel of smaller width would...

    I kindly ask you to elaborate on how to perform such a test :-)

    I suspect that you mean that the chisel should be hardened in such a way that it takes some effort to file away material from the...
  14. I'm not sure I follow you. The sandpaper I'm...

    I'm not sure I follow you. The sandpaper I'm using is not "normal" sandpaper, but abrasive made for polishing fiber cabling.
    The final grit is 0.3 micron which as far as I can tell equates to...
  15. Ok, so tried a 30 degree bevel angle - 2 taps and...

    Ok, so tried a 30 degree bevel angle - 2 taps and the chisel was dead.
    Tried another chisel also at 30 degrees - same story.

    I agree shedua is tough, but should it really be so hard on my chisels...
  16. These are old, used chisels so I'm confident that...

    These are old, used chisels so I'm confident that whatever steel wasn't hardened has been ground off earlier in the chisels life.
  17. I'll try that and see if it helps any. Thanks!

    I'll try that and see if it helps any.

    Thanks!
  18. E.A. Berg chisels dull extremely quickly - what am I doing wrong?

    So I'm trying my best cutting dovetails in 12mm (~1/2") shedua.

    I remove most of the waste with my fret saw so there's only 1-2mm waste left for the chisel.

    Using a 10mm E.A. Berg chisel and a...

    I have not tried the LV version, so cannot say either good or bad about it.
    However I have bought the David Barron's guide only after stumbling on one of his excellent how-to videos on YouTube,...

    Metal milling machine for woodworking?

    Sometimes when I need to rout something I can't help thinking that it would be so much easier if I could guide the wood past the bit with a x-y-table.

    Would it be possible to use a metal milling...

    That's just what I was looking for!

    Thanks!

    Thanks Frank.

    The problem is I don't know anyone apart from a pro, that would have a horizontal slot mortiser.

    I could buy one myself, but what I've seen so far, I think it'd run into the same...

    Thanks Joe, but after having read your post three times I'm still unsure exactly what your jig looks like :o

    Do you by any chance have a picture?

    Again - I'm not sure I understand it correctly...
  25. Thanks for the suggestion. I was thinking...

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    I was thinking along those lines but according to their specifications it won't work for this exact task:

    Maximum Mortise Width = 1/2"
    Maximum Mortise Length =...
