My grandad used to get me to sharpen his chisels when I was growing up. I can get most of them sharp enough to shave with now. It’s a skill all in its self, and one that’s overlooked these days.

The King KDS 1000/6000 stone you seem to be using is the other way around: brownish is the 1000 grit, and the white part a 6000 grit. So, you should be going from your diamond plate (380), to brown (1000), to white (6000) and then to your strop (roughly 12000)... The white part does get mushy when soaked too long. Best practice is to soak the brown part up to the plastic divider (about 20 minutes), and the white (or the complete stone next) just a few minutes (like 5 minutes).

I’ve had my set of bared chisels for about a year and a half. Really happy with them. Didn’t need too much flattening but definitely needed work to get them properly sharp. They keep their cutting edge well. Not for “dirty” work and never strike them with my claw hammer!

Sharpening chisels is about posture and body movement pattern. Put left foot forwards, and hold chisel jig in both hands pivot your upper body about hips, back and forth. Keep arms straight and stiff. It’s like a robotic movement pattern, strange at first, but with practice can stabilise the chisel angle precisely.

I just recently bought 3 Hand Planes from Ebay... you can still get some good bargains out there... I paid £30 plus change for the Stanley No. 4 - it came with it's cardboard box, instructions and bevel guage! It's a well used tool, but still in great condition considering... I also got a Stanley 4 1/2 for £51 - no box and gubbings but a used tool that had been looked after, these aren't so numerous, hence the higher price... and lastly a Record 5 1/2 for £42 - again, managed to get my hands on a well used but also well looked after example... the trouble these days is that you're up against Collectors for these items... I intend to use mine, so was less concernedf about the wear and tear on the item... although none of them broke the bank... My housemate has a pair of Stanley No.5's in case you're wondering about the gap... and they ARE in need of some heavy restoration... the idea was that I would sharpen 1 of each size of blade as a Scrub Plane and the other in the pair as a Finishing Plane... and just swap and change the blade & Chip breaker between the different bodies depending on what was needed... One of the blades (No 4 1/2 ?) has been sharpened on the skew, so that will take a bit of getting back to square, but the rest just appear to need a touch up to get to ideal sharpness... Talking of which, that's the reason I watched this vid... I am going to need to get a Sharpening kit together and have been watching a shed ton of videos from Scary Sharp to the likes of Rob Cosman and all points in between... you give advice very similar to Paul Sellers... which is a bonus in my books... :o) So I'll be following your advice (and Paul's), with one exception... the little Sharpening Jig... I used to do a lot of woodworking when I was in my early 20's, working on Microlight flying surfaces for a fixed wing style aircraft that used Spruce and Aluminium tubing for the wings and tail section, similar in construction to the balsa wood kits you can get.... and used a No. 4 plane and chisels to work the structure... I used one of those little jigs and found I wobbled while using it, I didn't find the wheel wide enough to support the job during the process and could easily tilt the blade... I am looking at a Narex version that has a wider brass roller to give me the stability for the wider Plane blades, they're about a Tenner more expensive than the one you showed... Great Video though... thanks!! :o) Link for the Narex Sharpening Guide - www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0049NN61E?tag=duc08-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1

I think they pay less for their equipment than we do, to be fair... when you look up recommended items like Sharpening Stones, we in the UK seem to pay half as much again as they do over there... I said I'd used a No. 4 when I was in my 20's - and have recently bought one... it still grieves me that mine went missing on one of my numerous moves in the (30+) years in between... but such is life! :o)

The polishing compound is so you don't have to use the 400 and 1000 to often, it keeps the edge sharp by maintenance and then you only need the diamond stone if you damage the edge, buy a new chisel or leave to long between honing.
