Work Sharp 3000 Work Station

This is a very cool idea, and the cost is EXCELLENT!

cool. i hear these sharpeners are really good. What do you htink?

-- making sawdust....

I am very happy with this. I was amazed at how bad some of the factory grinds were on some of my chisels. This made them square and razor sharp in no time. The highest grit I have is 3600, but they also offer a 6000 and a leather hone kit for a really mirror like finish. The only real disadvantage is the 2” width limitation. I had to sharpen my #7 Plane blade on top by clamping a piece of wood to the blade and moving the blade across the tool rest, worked pretty good, though I am not sure how repeatable it is.

I have been looking at the Work Sharp for a couple months now. I like your idea for mobility and storage of all of the associated supplies.

NIce job on the station Dale.
Here's what I came up with to handle the wider #7 etc blades.

Great idea on this. I need to build one for my WS. I love the stop on the front and great idea with the dowel to hold the other glass plate.

Worksharp’s are great sharpeners!! That is a cool mount! I like the drawer, because there are lots of accessories to the Worksharp 3000!!

Very nice, I just got the WS3000 myself. I’m not sure how I got by without. I redid all my chisels and am amazed with the results.

I was just looking at these at Rockler. They have a deal for the leather hone for free right now. Nice to see what others are doing with this as well. I wish the knife sharpener would work with this and not just the 2000.

-- Have thy tools ready. God will find thee work.

Nice set up.

Thanks for the tips, I will probably build one of these.
