Great sharpening set up

I've been using a variation on this set up for years - which I first saw on Youtube in another Japanese video.

Worth watching the whole thing - its the best solution I've found for narrow chisels and plane blades. And no, the jig does not make your blades curved.

A great system - and a simply beautiful instructional video. Very impressive. Thanks for sharing it Nigel.

Really nice doing things by hand, great sense of saitisfaction.

I am just too lazy, i use machines to sharpen

Satisfaction be dammed. The machine is on the bucket list, but until then, one of those jigs looks easy to make and use. Thanks for the video.
I was planing some recycled rimu and found a old nail.
Took me 1/2 the night to hone out resulting divot - a drum sander is also on that bucket list.

Sweet. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks. Another for the to do list. I have a look at a couple of other videos from the same guy. Quite interesting. The homemade cyclone caught my eye.

Question: So would all edges have the radius of the arm on them and if so, does it matter?

Do you mean "would this make the blades edge curved?" No, it doesn't. They come out flat.
