    My very long Worksharp / Henry Taylor paring chisel video review

    My Henry Taylors came today. I decided to do a video review of the Taylors coupled with the Worksharp because I've had so much interest from people that are curious about both products. Here it is. It's long but it's pretty thorough and should pretty much cover most of it.

    One thing: towards the end in the video, it sounds like the chisel paring is tearing the pine. It's not. It's all actually very quiet, in fact. My laptop microphone is very sensitive at certain frequencies, and very insensitive at other....not a flat response at all.

    Anyhow, here it is. Hopefully I'm doing both products justice.

    Never mind that link. Photobucket cut it off at 10 minutes. I'm splitting it up and will repost shortly.

    I thought the video ended rather abruptly, I wasn't going to say anything.

    I've decided to publish it as an article instead. It's ready to go. I just need someone to get back to me and let me know what the next step is. Sorry for the delay. Hopefully it will be soon.

    Here are the videos, at any rate. The article will publish when it publishes. Now that I started this thread, I figure I should follow through and at least post these now.

    John,
    Great video. Lord willing and home depot follows through, I should be getting a WS 3000 within a couple of weeks. I'll add the leather hone and felt polishing accessories.
    Thanks,
    Gary

    John great review. I would like to see more like this. One question, who is the blond in the green outfit climbing up your shelving unit?
    Thanks,

    That's my wife's old barbie doll. She's been hanging out with me in the shop for about 7 years now. She's a bit of an airhead, but she's a good listener and doesn't spend much.

    John - Thanks for the time spent on the videos and the PM traffic. Provides an avenue for fast, accurate, repeatable, quality sharpening of most of my chisels + irons.

    I will suspend my search for the Elder Wand of sharpening when my WS3k arrives tomorrow, and get back to spending more time making stuff v. getting ready to make stuff.
    When I started woodworking, I didn't know squat. I have progressed in 30 years - now I do know squat.

    Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Very well done and very informative!

    I too like the leather stropping wheel but had not seen the buffing disk. Looks like a great addition.

    Nice video. Looks like you need to break out the x-country skiis.
    I'd be interested in hearing about the edge retension of the Henry Taylor chisels and how they hold up in various woods.

    John - I'm looking for paring chisels whose blades are thin. That is, the top to back thickness 1/8" or less.
    How thick is that HT?
