  • One Question, How do you sharpen it? I purchased a 3/8" and 1/2" But I am reluctant to use until I figure out how to or the proper method. Care to share please?

  • @Aharndts Sharpening it is a bit tricky the first time, you sharpen it face down, on the grinder and go back and forth, being careful to NOT over heat the thin part. Then use a diamond hone to sharpen that face.

    NEVER sharpen the back flat side of the bedan, you can touch it up to make sure the corners are square with a diamond stone I use a #400. it should be SHARP, like slice paper sharp!

    Cheers!

  • Hey Stu, I'm just wondering, did you have several catches in the begining of your video?

  • At the beginning when the wood stops?

    No, I'm using a "Safety Center" type of drive, it has a very small surface to drive the wood, so I had to increase the pressure on the tailstock until the wood was being driven enough to NOT stop like that.

    Cheers!

  • It is called a "Bedan"

    Cheers!

  • @SerSeriana if you sharpen the Bedan carefully and use a diamond hone to put the final edge on the tool, using it regular like the 1st inch of the tool from the sharp point back towards the handle should last you a very, very long time, so what I did was round over the corners of the tool from that point back towards the handle, as I too was having the corners dig into my tool rest.

    Cheers!

  • nice shirt, and the end of the video wasn't blindingly bright either.
