Good video, you've really simplified everything into short clip. Comments below are so very limited and as with all detractors, so negative; I wish people would be less literal with their interpretations. (92d is not acute, but 88 is...other way of looking at it ), (flatness: he didn't check with his file, he just flattened it;simple vid, showing technique).
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears as though your file is 'in-line' with your edge direction instead of 'against the grain'......meaning nothing is actually getting filed/sharpened. My edge tool only allows the file to be inserted in such a way as to be at a 45 going against the edge direction and resulting in the desired slivers/shavings coming off. Shouldn't your file actually be rotated 90 degrees so as to cut? Any comments welcome!
Just grab median nylon brush, they are good for evrything. I would highly recommend one for structuring the wax if you hot wax. I personally reccomend a Toko nylon but go for what ever is more apealing to you
Hi there Dan.

Thanks again Dan, nice shop!

@dougkon this is called draw filing..you actually get a smoother more uniform cut

I just stopped watching at .35 seconds! Check ski flatness with a FILE? True bar only.
Files like he used are not strong enough to take base away. Get a base tool!

@heyfisherman usually u use a brass brush to remove some wax after you scrape and then you use a horsehair to polish it up
