Hi Toby
I agree, the circular motion works nicely and it feels easier to keep the correct angle that way too.
I'm going to make myself a sanding puck for this axe for my brother and hopefully he then won't have an excuse lol. I'm sure he'll be well pleased when I give it back to him with an edge. Thanks for coming by and your comment, I appreciate it.
Sharp cutting tools are important! I hope he appreciates the work you have done. Some people don't like to sharpen things, so I hope he learns.
Dull tools are dangerous.
👍🤠💙💸🥦🌿😁💗
I concur with blunt being dangerous, perhaps when I tell him that I spent a gruelling hour plus sharpening it, he'll be quicker to take out the grinder next time 🤣
Thanks for your comments Toby, much appreciated. I'm glad you're getting all your prepping sorted, you can never be too prepared. Have a great day/night.
The only thing I do differently is my file for an axe has a brass ring ahead of the handle. If I slip, it acts like a guard! It also means that my sharpening file doesn't get used elsewhere.
Liked your post, keep after it!
👍🤠💙💗🤕😆😁🙏
Hi Toby
That is genius! What a clever safety function! I like it. Thank you so much for the tip, I think I'll get one of those made for sure.
Thank you, I'm glad it read well, I'm trying out loads of these little things because I do believe that one day I'll need them. It might be a while but if I can practice these things before hand, I have an advantage that many others won't have at their beck and call when the time comes.
Have a wonderful day.
Practice feeds competence, so you have a great idea! Concocting a home made tool, is closer to real life than anything else. Excellent practice.
👍🤠💗🙏🌿🥦😋🤕😳
