Anyone near me that can sharpen my tools?

I find that using a jig make the grind much more repeatable which is good i also you loss less metal

You lot don't 'arf waffle on.

If you spent as much time doing woodworking as you do debating woodworking techniques the gallery on here would be rammed with fine woodworking exhibits.
Instead, it's full of cobwebs.

Get a grip!

But why are people turning anyway?

Because they like shaping WOOD, if they liked shaping metal they'd be metal workers.

You've really made your point here quite clear Jacob, you just become a bore by dragging out so much.

How has this dragged out so long

In the end its about choice isn't it. This myth that there is ONE correct way is what causes all the trouble. The different options exist so people can find the approach that works for them. No-one needs to stress about dogma. We're lucky enough to live in a very tolerant society in which there is stacks of room for those who value traditional approaches but also those who enjoy all the cutting edge (apologies for the pun) that technology can offer.

It's not right or wrong...left or right...just choice. Like sharpening, this debate is not dualistic....I don't really understand why people stress so much about a particular viewpoint.

Why can’t someone near him just sharpen his tools

Well said!
It's a pity there is no club nearby to help Him out with the grinding/sharpening. I must say.
Interesting video, simples! I didn't go much on the ladies chinese safety boots in the video nor the blue colour that the gouge was sporting, first sign of burning the temper from the steel, wheel going too fast for a 120 grit, i guess.
Nobody seems to use water to cool the steel any more, that's what the little trough is for on the front of our grinder.

Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; show him how to catch fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.

Bit like going into a new pub for a drink, and you find all the regulars
are having a shouting match, and a couple of them take time out
from shouting at each other to tell you you're drinking the wrong beer...

Not a pub you'll bother going back to.
