This is my first forum post.I have had the PP2 for a couple years now. Have followed and learned from the forum throughout that time. I enjoy your weekly post, Tuffy. Your earlier posts included some video of you clamping and sharpening your stuff: knives, lopers, serrated blades, etc… . I’ve learned some good technique from those videos. Hope you do more of that in the future. If it’s not a business secret I’d like to see how you sharpen some of the non-knife blade items.

first of all Dee – welcome to the WE forum – and good luck sharpening.
i do a video of all the knife fairs i work, but kinda got away from the actual sharpening part. there are countless numbers of videos on WE sharpening……same goes for belt sharpening.
that is what i use on almost all yard blades and many of the kitchen knives i now bring home to sharpen. i try and save my diamond paddles for the fairs alone.
i used a 1 x 42″ kalamazoo belt grinder with a whole set of belts from 160 grit to 4,000 and then leather belts. i may even purchase yet another grinder soon, probably a Veil from Lee Valley and i hope to have a Twice as Sharp scissor sharpening soon……..MAYBE…….I was lucky not long ago and found a twice as sharp scissor arm on ebay for 50 bucks and i sent it to South Dakota to have a bracket made for it just for scissors so i can use the “Kally”……attached is a pic. of one kinda like mine with the attachment.
many say it works really good on scissors……. 😉 i hope to find out really soon. 50 bucks is much nicer than spending 350 bucks for twice as sharp.
stand by………..if u go to you tube and type in sharpening lopers, trimmers, etc……u can find many many videos on how to.
