Another sharpening video

This video looks interesting. With some modifications it could be quite useful. As it is there would be excesive wear in one place. Perhaps a slower speed and longer stroke.plus the ability to keep the angle while moving from side to side.

Deeply fascinating!
I sharpen a chisel in much the same way but instead of mechanically moving the stone I move the chisel itself !!! by hand, in much the same way, to and fro, on a fixed stone.
I'm surprised he hadn't thought of that before he went to all that trouble!
I also move the chisel all over the stone to even out wear.
Maybe a Heath Robinson fan?
Makes you wonder what other simple things he's mechanised instead of doing it by hand!

The drill chuck probably won’t last long in this application, and the stone will likely need significant re-flattening after each session. However, it looks tempting to reproduce using an old corded drill and a cheap diamond plate, increasing the wheel size to make each stroke longer. Add a carriage on top of the angled part to securely move the blade laterally while the stone moves back and forth...

Perhaps also 3D print most of the parts... very tempting...

Lol, at least doing it by hand does not rely on battery power

Thank goodness for that - someone's posted another sharpening video.
