Oneway Wolverine

[rglinks]

Any body using the wolverine sharpening system. I am really bad at sharpning my tool. Straight wood chisels no problem but gouges thats another story.. Just installed my oneway and still having problems .... Maybe just getting started and still need to learn how........ but for me it's not that easy.

can any body help....

Thanks
Ron....

Check the Oneway site for their video on how to use the Wolverine system.

my local Woodcraft store has a "sharpening for turners" class that I took and found to be very helpful. They used the wolverine system in class and it's what I have now. Might want to check it out if you have a store near you...

Got a basic Wolverine for Christmas and glad I did. The videos helped enourmously.

Ron, One important thing to remember. The tool's own weight does all the work! You just guide it. Don't lean on it at all.......[]

Ron, I just got one of these for my birthday! What a huge difference in my turning with properly sharpened tools! You'll LOVE it![8D]

I have one and like it a lot. I can sharpen a skew in less then one minute.

Definately go to the Oneway site and view the videos, they are worth as much as the tool itself,

You can make your own wolverine-type jig - there's some great units posted up on here.. If nothing else, it could at least tell you if the wolverine type jig is what you want. And take up a few hours' construction time.

To borrow from another post, here are some commercially availible systems:

Woodcut Tru-Grind: http://www.woodturnerscatalog.com/cgi-bin/shopper?search=action&keywords=woodcut-tru-grind

Kelton: http://www.woodturnerscatalog.com/cgi-bin/shopper?search=action&keywords=kelton-sharpening

Penn State clone: http://www.pennstateind.com/store/lcgrind4.html

The tru-grind is highly acclaimed for sharpening gouges

Grow your own, the videos will help you with any of these jigs also..
