j. pierce Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 I've been using the "scary sharp" method to sharpen my tools for a while now. I picked up some glass plate to use, mostly because it was larger than the various flat surfaces I had been using, so I can tack all my sandpaper pieces on it at once. Regardless, I don't like my hands being next to sharp glass edges - (I had a bad experience replacing a window once) Best way to take that "edge" off the glass, anyone?

Mattia Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Sandblasting? Honestly, though it's probably easiest to make a 'frame' the thickness of the glass and mount it around it, methinks. Maybe even caulk the edges? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tirapop Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 How thick is this glass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapbarstrat Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Cheap diamond hones from Harbor Freight (around $6.00 when on half price sale- I wouldn't pay full price for their stuff). Then there's also the various little diamond dremel bits (HF also sells some). Anyway, the diamond abrasive sands glass like regular sandpaper sands hardwood. I've done it a lot.

ryanb Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Use a belt sander with silicon carbide paper. You might want a little water too. That's a poor-man's version of the way they do real polished edges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
