Sharpening metalworking workshop cutters, Videos
I have now completed the series showing workshop cutters being sharpened whilst using one of my Grinding Rests. The complete list is shown below.
However I have made many other videos showing aspects of the workshop tooling for which I have published the designs. A full list of these ( though there are more to come) can be found on my website here. Harold Halls Videos, index
Now for the videos showing my grinding rests being used.

Advanced grinding rest and a cautionary tale
Thanks Harold,
These videos are a great help. I for one appreciate the effort you have put in. I made one of these some years ago and find it useful. It may interest you to know that it was in my (detached) garage when I had a very destructive fire in there in 2010 and it endured the attentions of three fire crews with their hoses and chemicals, and then several weeks of summer rain until I could rescue it along with other treasured items.
I have since refurbished it and I still have it. It was not possible to return it to it's original condition but I rather like it as it is and prefer it's less than pristine condition as it reminds me of a very black day. I now have to make the jigs for milling cutter and drill grinding, By the way, I love your work and have several of your books and have used the advice and guidance in my projects.
