Chisels
Paddy Duncan
Hi All,
I have donated a set of 12 carving chisels which are hanging on the tool rack…
Please do not sharpen them; I will attack them with my waterstones over the next few days hopefully (and the existing ones, 1 done today).

That's it. We're not messing around anymore, we're buying a bigger

for wood-carving only, and a proper mallet assigned to them. Because
someone will use them on other materials, while smacking them with a
claw hammer.
Hopefully I'm just being over-cautious (my grandfathers rosewood-handled
chisels got destroyed that way). Still maybe it's another subject
suitable for a primer in?

Btw I can leave a set of diamond sharpening things too so if Russ has not
yet bought some he need not. I'm not all that brave either, none of these
things were particularly expensive; but then no proper sharpening work has
been invested yet....
Thanks for volunteering to help Tim :)

Nice one Paddy, when are you planning on sharpening them, I never did
get the hang of sharpening carving chisels...
i.e would you show me how sometime ?

I have already got some, but they're still at home and I keep
forgetting to bring them in.

Tangental enquiry: does anyone have any experience sharpening ceramic knives? What do you use to do so, is it even possible?
My friend picked up a slightly nicked and blunted (but otherwise rather expensive ceramic chefs knife) I'd love if there was some way to salvage this pricey blade and there would be a great deal of satisfaction in it.
Initiate flaming sequence now! :)

rough, more suited to removing loads of metal but not real sharpening.

Only diamond will do, and finer than mine; if the grain size of the stone is too big it breaks chips off the edge rather than cutting.
Ideally a powered diamond wheel of 1000grit+ then finer paste by hand..?
Btw I’ve always wanted one, I can’t stand brown-edged lettuce.

for the initial sharpening and then a fine for the extra zing sharpness
(when working with hardwood's) that allowed for really nice injuries,
the stones were diamond and very expensive at the time and I cannot
offhand recall what grit size specified medium and fine.
If I was feeling extra spiffy I then used a Japanese whetstone for final
polish of the edge, but that's overkill and unnecessary IMHO. My old
boss used to occasionally use a leather strop impregnated with jewellers
rouge, show off.
anyway happy to volunteer for a bit of sharpening duty... ;)
