This is the final tip on Sharpening Woodworking Blades from master wooden hand plane maker, Phil Edwards. Here he shows us how to sharpen a chisel but it’s also Phil’s method for sharpening his plane blades. The objective is to get the blade sharp quickly and efficiently so that the woodworker is back to the workbench in minimal time.

Phil’s woodworking workshop is located in Dorset, England. He makes and sells wooden hand planes. Check out his website: http://www.phillyplanes.co.uk

In this quick tip from master wooden hand plane maker, Phil Edwards, we learn how to setup a wooden hand plane for use. This simple task is often shied away from by woodworkers. Phil shows how easy it can be with little practice.

This video was filmed in Dorset, England at Phil’s woodworking workshop. http://www.phillyplanes.co.uk

I recently had the pleasure of spending the day with Phil Edwards. As well as helping us out as a moderator on The Wood Haven forums, Phil is the country’s only full time wooden hand plane maker. He talks about how he got started in making wooden hand planes and tells us some of the virtues of using them. We shot the interview at his workshop down in Dorset in the south west of England. As well as the interview, we also shot a few short videos of Phil’s top woodworkng tips. I will post these next week.

Please let me know if you like the video, I always welcome comments.
