Post by: CarlKlefbom on April 27, 2020, 06:58:26 PM
Hello guys,

FYI:
We will go live on Wednesday 3:30 PM, Swedish time.

This time we go through chisels, plane blades and our different grinding wheels.

Hope you're joining us!  :)

I am looking forward to it!
I hope you will pay special attention to getting square edges with chisels; that seems to be a perennial problem. Also, please cover the usage differences in the various grinding wheels.

Ken

Yes, please cover this topic if possible. Also, squaring the bevel on the side of the diamond wheel. Thank you.

Maybe I put this post in the wrong spot...

Sebastien, I really appreciate the class! I am a new T-8 owner and I've watched both classes live, engaged in asking questions (rod wolfy) and plan on watching the one tomorrow morning (6:30 AM, my time).

It would be nice if you guys could continue to have classes once you're done with the basics on a slightly more indepth basis.

For example, I have the hand tool kit and the knife jigs, but I destroyed my wife's Santoku knife over the last couple of weeks practicing on it. The outside roll (Convex) shape of the blade was made concave thru the belly. When I ground near the hilt, it was rubbing on the handle and when grinding near the tip, the handle was hitting the leather wheel. I have reviewed several explanations on the forum; however, a video showing the method would help significantly.

Thanks again for the videos and I look forward to putting a better finish on my chisels and plane blades (please cover making a slighly cambered edge on a planer blade, as it helps when doing rough hand planing)!

Looking forward to this one.  I hope you go over getting a slight radius on plane blades. I cannot attend live, or I'd submit the question then.
Thanks for doing these, the Tormek is much more useful therefore the cost of the machine makes more sense when you know how to use it at it's full potential.

I think this is the square that was shown to make the plane blade setting square:
