Hi!
I have recently started my adventure with sculpting. So far I am creating wooden monstrosities, good thing Halloween is upon us. Anyways after some intense work, sculpting got a little bit more difficult and that was when I realized that I might have dull my chisel. And then it dawned on me! I have no idea what to do now? Do I sharpen it or do I buy a new one? How do you sharpen chisels. What equipment is needed for this? How is it done?
...
I will let myself out.
Youtube is your friend, simple wet stone or go hog wild..
There are multiple technologies. They all work. They all have tradeoffs. Try some.
If you don't have stones to sharpen those chisels on (and i don't recommend a grinder unless you have a slow-speed one), you can always fall back to the flat surface and multiple grades of sandpaper (prefer wet-dry paper).
welcome to the forums! :smiley:
Hello,, Rick. Welcome to Tool Talk!! What type of chisels/gouges do you use? Photos would help !! Regards, Lou
Hello,
I believe hat You Tube is your best reference, Paul Sellers has an excellent video there on chisel sharpening as well as care and sharpening of other tools.
