  • This guy has 30 years experience sharpening tools. I'll take his advice over you nubs any day.

  • You have to get the temperature much past 200degrees celcius to ruin the temper, and if it was that hot, there would be steam when he dipped the axe in water, and it would be too hot for him to hold.

    There are many ways to sharpen an axe, I prefer to use a belt grinder to sharpen an axe, and it is kept cool, you just have to dip it into a bucket of water often.

  • @jcoll83 Amen, brother.

    Most city-folk can't even wash 'emselves properly, tie their shoelaces, and a good sum of them just generally look scruffy, act scruffy, and have a scruffy attitude. I don't se many of them looking after themselves OR their gear properly. Tut tut tut! Give me rolling hills and green fields any day!

    My knives are sharp, my boots are always polished, I'm clean, shaven, and generally know how to take care of myself and my property! I enjoy the craftsmanship in my property!

  • sharpening a axe on a bench grinder no thanks, but nice video.

  • @jcoll83

    Living in the city hardly equals pampered. It's a different way of life, not an easier one. if it were easier, more people would do it.

  • If only these videos came with a free grinding wheel :P

  • he dipped it in water so he could hold it shitdicks so it wouldn't have got hot enough to boil the water yet
