How To Sharpen Mower Blades

http://www.ericthecarguy.com/
When it comes that time of year to start cutting the grass this is a good place to start along with an oil change on your lawn equipment. There are lots of different ways to do this but this is one that works for me.

Stay dirty

what in the wide world of sports are you mowing , a rock garden ? that old blade was chipped all to hell !  perhaps a nice run with a file on it after you put the sanding disk to it might help even out the blade

i'd probably do it like this now, if i had a lawn mower. but i moved to the city 6 years ago and live in an apartment. but when i was younger i used to but i did it with a hand file, thats hard work, especiallly when there are those small chunks out of the cutting edge. knew a guy that welded in a big chunk after a rock hit it, filed it smooth, went for 5 more years till the engine seized. forgot to change the oil every year.
