  “Never underestimate how bad an injury you can get doing that.” Personal experience on my part proves this. I was sharpening a machete with a file and the edge didn’t stop until it hit the bone in my thumb. Be safe ladies and gents

  Glad to see more axe content from you! I’m tired of the same old generic unboxing videos, where they hack at a half rotten sapling for 45 minutes and rave about how great their new found prize is. I have an old Kelly true temper that needs exactly what you’ve covered in this video. I believe I’ll give it a try.

  The echo down the valley of your chopping was wonderful.

  I rewatched this again last night, and I think it's one of the best and most useful videos you've made.  Maybe not the most exciting, but thorough, well reasoned, and complete.  My hat is off to you, as usual.

  It's not too often that I click like on a video after 10 seconds, but that beer comment pretty much impossible not to...

  Your vids always make so much sense to me. Ben Scott is great too and very willing to give advice.<br>I like both your clear rational calm approach to this subject. I&apos;m just new to getting into axe work and never realized how much goes into it. It&apos;s fascinating and exciting for me to start working on my own axe acquisitions. cheers.

  I like your file technic. &nbsp;Makes sense to me, &nbsp;and like you, I dont worry about what people think. &nbsp;It&apos;s what works for me. Thanks for the great video.

  Respectively speaking or not depends on who you are...I laughed out loud.

  The occasional chicken squawks in the background crack me up, I love it. It’s a strange but surprisingly welcome contrast to an otherwise detailed discussion.

  It&apos;s rare that agree with someone so much. I&apos;ve done this exact thing to an old collins homestead axe I bought for like, $20 on on ebay. I think modifying ones tools to suit their preference is something completely lost on my generation and the newer generations, but I find that not only does it give one a tool they&apos;re very satisfied with, it gives one a since of satisfaction and person achievement as well as gaining knowledge, confidence and experience. very well done video. Thank you.

  Love your videos! Woke up with a strong urge to work with and learn more about axes the other day, and stumbled upon your channel. Especially enjoy the amount of thought/reflection going on, it&apos;s refreshing. Btw, dragging on the backstroke makes it much easier to keep a consistent angle in my opinion.
