Thread: Experimenting with some jointing techniques

Does not mean, that it does not work. I don’t like peas, but don’t think that, no-one should eat them…

Alex is a very accomplished honer, Jnat stone expert and dealer. He is constantly pushing the envelope, searching out new methods, reviving old ones, and has posted many, useful YouTube videos and postings.

And as with the post you listed, has nothing to do with the original post, but thank you for your input…

Just this once, try being civil.

I, like you, have the right to post my opinions on this forum. Anyone has the right to disagree. Ideally they should remain respectful while doing so. You have continued to push joining/jointing constantly and, for the most part, I have left it be because you have the right to declare your opinion as often as you wish.

I disagree with the efficacy of joining/jointing. So what?

In case you did not notice, the topic of this post is about joining/jointing and I once again responded to what was posted. I have continued to stay on topic and you continue the personal attacks. Here is a novel idea for you...

For once, if you disagree with me, have the decency to declare why. Rather than criticizing me for my point of view, try figuring out a way to actually come up with a counterargument.

For some reason, you never do that and the reason why is obvious. The ridiculous thing is that you actually agree with me about the fact that Iwasaki was NOT talking about jointing and was in fact describing side honing, yet you continue to propagate is falsehood. Do you remember THIS thread? You wrote the following...

Yes, I too now believe, Side Honing or Vibration technique is what Iwasaki was describing, based on the amount of time described in the process and that there was no mention of re-honing, as one would do after Jointing as Utopian posted in the original thread.

Do you notice that you gave EXACTLY the same reasons that I have continued to use to explain why the common interpretation of that section of Iwasaki's treatise is wrong? Despite this, you have continued to push Iwasaki as the reason why you originally tried this method that you have been pushing for so long. Regardless, some people, including you, believe that there is some benefit to joining/jointing and I have absolutely no problem with that; but that does not mean anyone should be lead to believe that anything Iwasaki wrote is the basis for it.

Who came up with the term 'Jointing' for this, anyway? Curious?

This is the part 2 of the pair...

Excellent video that does explain many things for me. Thank you for posting. Seems it is another tool in the ole box.
