How To Sharpen Gouges - with a bit of a twist at the end.

Video Description

Welcome to Crimson Guitars https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonCustomGuitars?sub_confirmation=1 At http://www.crimsonguitars.com we build custom guitars and we use many different hand tools. Now there is nothing better than a properly sharp gouge, chisel, or plane blade but getting it there is an art and takes practice and a little knowledge too. This is where we come in, this video tutorial shows several ways to sharpen a chisel using traditional stones (water or oil stones will do) we then move on to a trick I was taught while learning to build baroque violins. This trick makes all the difference.
