Video on Sharpening Hand Gravers

Hello,

I put together a video demonstrating how to sharpen 2 basic gravers for use on the watchmakers lathet. I'm going to follow up with more watchmakers lathe tutorials, I do hope it does help someone

Thanks Dean! Very nice. I like the tip about the petroleum jelly, I've resorted to using diamond hones instead of india stones mostly due to this problem.

Here is a video dealing with how to sharpen hand gravers without using a graver sharpening fixture:

Thanks Karl, yes, it was a problem when I first started, and a mentor of mine let me in on the trick.

Thanks for the link I am familiar with that video, those guys produce great content.
