It's a common enough question, people
want to know how to sharpen their
gauge, I'm going to show you the
method that I use that has worked for me
throughout my working life, I use
regular flat stones
I've got a couple gouges here, doesn't
matter which size a gouge big one small
one they all use the same technique same
method so I'm going to put fluid this
just
auto glass cleaner on here just to
lubricate the stone to make sure that
particles have grit, the steel, the grit
from the diamonds float off and what I'm
going to do is I'm going to show you two
methods one is just the role method
where we take the gauge on to the
plate here this is the coarse medium and
superfine so I've got 250 600 and 1200
here so I go on here and I just
literally roll the gouge along its bevel
so I'm working on the bevel as well as
the cutting edge and I work back and
forth along here so I start here, roll
and come to the out cut there, back
roll back so you can see I'm rolling in
both directions and then the operation
speeds up because you can go quite fast
with this then you flip to this next stone
you work the hole of the bevel, now most
gauges the bevel is going to be slightly
convex sometimes it's dead flat this
depends on the curve but I want to get
right to this cutting-edge so I start up
here roll it around 30 degrees and then
I dropped my hands here so I'm lower
down here so this cutting-edge is not
catching so I am catching the whole bevel
This his maintenance mode same on this one
so I start at my 30 and then drop now
that bevel can change it depends on what
you're carving carving gouges are very
different than regular chisels so here
I've got most of the bevel I'm
happy with what I have got I've got a
slight burr on the inside of here and
I'm going to go from here
to a strop, now you can use the
flat strop, you don't need a hollow but
you can create a hollow if you want to
take a gouge out here out here and then
work along here and create a gouge to
hollow in there but on this width of a
gouge I can go on here so I charge this
with buffing compound just like this
this is an abrasive suspended in wax and
I pull this and I roll to catch the
whole of the bevel and I might do this
30 40 times to get the whole of the
bevel polished out, work from one side to
the other like this
now you'll notice that the inside of
this gauge is highly polished out this
just happens to be this maker, here is another
one it's not wholly polished up but
it's still very very smooth just not
shiny right here you may be able to see
a very crisp right line right behind the
cutting edge, I'll show you how we get that in
a minute but we still have a burr on
this inside edge here we're polishing the
bevel here so we're getting this so keep
going until you feel like you've got an
equal shine across the whole of the
bevel that means you've got an equal
surface cutting along the bevel too,
polish out and then we get to the inside
the burr is still on the inside, you
can use what we call slips and what's
slips do
yeah, there's a slip this is a slips down
and this just rubs on the inside but
if you don't have a slip which most of
you won't have just take a piece of wood
like this drop a piece of leather on to
hear polish it I mean coat it with the
abrasive like this and then
grip the two
in the vise and I just happen to have a
piece of leather off cut that I can use
and so you'll find a piece of a coach
or anything that will work and then
pull this up so that it stretches the
leather onto the surface cinch it tight, make
sure you've got abrasive over the whole
of the surface and then press it drop it
right into here and that's removing the
burr, it's also polishing that inside edge so
now I have a gouge that's fully sharpened
let's see what we've got
that's how I would do I would use a
broom handle or anything that's round and
you can also make a hollow around
whatever you want so here and see
fastest way I know of how to carve a spoon
hollow, this can go across the grain with
it and that's how I would sharpen out
a gouge, large, small it's all pretty much
the same so that works well I've got a
strop
hold it here just a piece of wood I can
wrap this on here and you can do many
sizes the radius doesn't have to be the
exact same size here's a narrower radius
you can go even small once you get to
this size you may want to go with a
broom handle if that works so here's a
broom-handle that fits the radii
just fine so you could wrap it around a
broom handle a rolling pin anything you
want that work
another method that I used extensively I
probably use this more than maybe the
side method of rolling here I might do a
figure-of-eight this works very well for
me I practice it for a long time and it
goes very quickly and this is where we
start with the corner of the the gouge
on the stone here and we move across
here and we're rolling it like this
into this figure of eight and this is called a
figure-of-eight sharpening and as you
practice this you can gain speed you can
see the bubble show the figure of eight
and work the whole bevel so we start at
this higher point here and then drop
drop drop now you might want a long
slender one which means you have to take
a lot of steel off this heel once you
get the rhythm going
it works so well go to the next one so
start like this, work across you
don't have to go as much on that second
level and the third level either you
just keep going, this is taking out the
abrasive levels to a polished level here
and that's it and I have a burr across
the whole of the inside of here I'm
going to polish out as I did before on
there now let me do this one with the
hollow in here then you can see that one
as well
now obviously the hollow is hard to get
the leather down into but you don't have
to get the leather down into it, just pull
it tight like that and then drop your
bevel in here
work it around that hollow when you're
polishing out the bevel again it's
coming nicely you can flip over leather
onto this side into the vise full it so it
pinches and pull it up if it will pull
like this and again you've got your
level your bevel is polished now we're
on the inside and we just basically
removing the burr from this inside that
works perfectly,
that may transfer as it did in
this case no burr on the inside
transferred it to the outside you may
want to go back to the strop but usually
with gauges as soon as you start to
create a scallop that burr will break
off here very fast effective of course
there are many actions with challenges
that using carving that may not be as
easy as this one but that's basically my
spoon carve and that's how i would
sharpen it goes one of those two methods
works great
