For years I have struggled with hand sharpening but I am getting better. I have always been amazed when I hear that someone can put a razor sharp edge on a chisel in 60 seconds. These days, unless I have let a chisel or plane iron go too long, I can come pretty close to that. Paul Seller's sharpening DVD (on Amazon) and he is also on YouTube, helped me to finally master this.
Along the way, I have always appreciated being able to look at some of the edges I am working on, to check for progress or when having some problem. I picked up this technique from The Complete Book on Sharpening (Lee Valley Tools) and from Ian Kirby's book Sharpening Planes and Chisels: a Sharp Edge in 60 Seconds. Ian used water stones, which I have moved away from, replacing them with DMT diamond sharpening plates. This Aiernuo Loupes 20x Diamond Loupe/ magnifier has worked well with all of my hand sharpening and has a valued place in my sharpening arsenal.
It is small, and has a solid cover, that moves easily out of the way, although I have to occasionally tighten the screw, when it loosens. For convenience I have also attached this magnifier to a thin neck strap I got with a name badge when attending some woodworking show or conference. I now easily hang it around my neck and tuck it into the top pocket of a shirt or work apron, to keep it close at hand. The 20x magnifier is a real plus and I would be at a loss without it. It’s size and power (with a good cover on both sides of the lenses) is more practical and easier to use than many larger hand held magnifies that I have used.
Excellent quality for the price. Came well packaged and in a nice little case. It folds up beautifully and even has a little loop on the end, in case you want to wear it around your neck on a chain. The optics are excellent and I would definitely purchase this again.
Good quality, good clarity.
Works great, seems to be sturdy construction.
