Sharpening a Chisel with Waterstones

[Jason B.]

It's not often I sharpen a chisel, but when I do, I prefer waterstones

Awesome video. And this, folks, goes to show that sharpness is about a fully-apexed edge and a fully-removed burr, independent of the edge angle or geometry, which affect cutting performance but not sharpness. A very instructive vid. LOL, knifenut... but that guy is just gonna take the chisel and go hacking at wallpaper and nails again, right? He won't appreciate that edge.

When are the pocket knife vids coming out? Can't wait to see those.

His comment, "Man! I could just push it through wood, didn't even need my hammer"

But yeah, likely to be destroyed in a few days.

It's made, just gotta upload to YouTube. Probably do that today.

I work with wood and use diamond plates for roughing and water stones for final honing of my chisels and plane irons.
