WorkSharp WS2000 sharpening system - video review

Thanks for the video JC. I’ve been contemplating the purchase of one of these and have wanted to see one in action.

-- I've cut that board three times and it's still too short!

Thanx JC…Good review. I’m thinkin’ of adding one of these to my wish list.

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

I have the 3000. I would suggest the extra investment.

Nice review. The video really adds complete knowledge of the use and functionality of the machine. I’ve seen several sharpening devices on the market but always decide that, being a hobbyist rather than a “in business” woodworker, I decide I can better spend my money on some rough-cut cherry or maple boards for projects. My blades and drill bits only seem to get dull after about 5 years so by then taking them to a sharpening service or a new one is a better option for me and my chisels are 6 years old and still really sharp. This policy also helps me keep up with advances in technology, etc., etc.

-- I think of Jack Nicholson as the Joker in Batman when he says "Where does he get those wonderful toys" and ask WHERE DO U GUYS GET ALL THAT WONDERFUL WOOD?

Thanks for the review.

thanks for the review the only suggestion i would make is keeping a cup of water near to cool the tools off a bit quicker. I know that water and electricity don’t mix but just a dip in the water is good ( with the chisels or plane blades) this is what i do for mine on my bench grinder. You did help me to make up my mind to go ahead and get though. ;)

Thought you may like to see my video of the Upgrades I made to the Work Sharp including one that allows you to use Tormek jigs AND how to use cheap buffing compound instead of sandpaper instead of diamond wheels and compounds:
