Looking for videos on sharpening

[atgcpaul]

So I've got a lathe setup and I need to learn how to sharpen my lathe chisels.

I have a variety of lathe chisels (roughing gouge, skew, scraper, etc) and a slow speed grinder with 60 grit and 120 grit wheels. Someone also gave me a Wolverine-like jig but I haven't tried adding that yet.

I'd appreciate any YouTube links for chisel sharpening. I see a bunch but don't know who the trusted sources are.

I plan on doing some spindles first like the kind used in Windsor chairs.

Thanks,
Paul

Paul,
These links are to a two-part video by Wolverine via Woodcraft, worth a look.

There are many decent videos, watching multiple may help to see different methods.

Alan Lacer has some decent articles about sharpening on his web site (click the Articles button): http://woodturninglearn.net

And check out the American Association of Woodturners site and search for a local chapter (Maryland appears to have 5):

Woodturners usually are pretty social, and having someone show you beats a video anytime!

I'm a pretty big fan of Cap'n Eddie Castelin for turning advice. He has tons of videos on YouTube incudling several on sharpening.
