Its never smart to cut toward yourself. If the knife catches, the force of the backing hand can suddenly drive it home into whatever happens to be in the knife's path (your hand: 0:35-0:40). The belt sander-grinding technique is another thing to watch - never turn the edge against the belt, even if its only at an angle. Just my $0.02 and, yeah, you didn't ask me. I'm more concerned about the unwary weekend fix-it guy out there who may not know any better by watching your vid.
@DatBluesGuy And so tools like scorps, inshaves, draw knives, adzes, joining axes which all work by cutting towards the craftsman are too unsafe to use in your world. So I guess no chip carving tools either? No whittling with a pocket knife?
@DatBluesGuy I guess you are really going to have a fit when you see me grind lathe tools on a 10" bench grinder. The edge could maybe possibly perhaps catch.
Amazing result. Thanks for showing this. At about 3:26 the camera position changes a little and it appears that you changed the sanding band. Did you? Do the bands wear out that quickly?
In renovation work chisels get gouged easily, due to nails, screws, metal anchors, pins, armoring iron, cement, brick and hardstone that is inside or just beside wood you work on. I work on window frames in monumental houses over a century old. You never know what you find in what seems to be painted wood.
@materiasacra No was just adjusting the camera. I used that belt the whole time and it had some life left in for some other grinding as well. I like portable belt sanders because they cut really fast and the belts are not expensive. I almost always use that Bosch upside down. It is so heavy and powerful it is hard to control. Write me at akswoodman @ gmail and I will send you pics of clamping setups for the beltsander.
@wdworking You will see in the later videos just how good it is. I was shocked during the demo portion how well it cut. I am using it on a regular basis I am so pleased with it.
Wow! Guess you really showed me!

0:35-0:40 That knife just about bit your hand. You wouldn't be pulling that little stunt in my shop...!

@DatBluesGuy Watched the referenced portion. Just don't see it. And why would I be in your shop?

Turned out pretty good for construction grade chisel? Do you think the steel in that chisel is the same as a quality wood workers chisel?
