My brother has been nagging at me for not keeping my blades sharp. I oughtta listen and keep my brain sharp, thanks for the help Jarl.

Or just use a vice

You are a very wise man, thanks for imparting your wisdom Sir !

Awesome work my mate! Thank you for this knowledge 🙏🏼🤙🏽

Great video and that's not a comment I give out very much

I like that your advice is straight forward and simple. Also, you know what you are doing. I like this approach as well because I use wet sharpening stones for my axes and knives too. No fancy equipment. 😊

Yes, so true, very good conversation. Technology is a sort of double-edged sword, with both good and bad effects. You are right that manual labor helps keep us rooted in the real world. I burned oil for heat for many years and never really thought a lot about how much work it was to heat with wood until I started doing it. It makes you reflect about the connection between work and comfort a lot more. As long as God gives me strength, I wouldn't go back.

Aye! Work is it's own reward.

Thank you for the clip.

Cool! Thank you! You can put the 3 videos in just one maybe. I almost lost the 3rd video, which was what I was looking for, because I think the tutorial ends on 1rst...

Awesome!

Thank you

This was great, very informative!!

Yeah it worked fine for me, took time but what an edge.

Excellent explanation. From Iowa, US.

Great video series-- my hatchet is extremely sharp! Unfortunately I have now lost an eye.

Very easy way of gardening. For my part, I use bark instead of cardboard. It works well. Thanks for another great video.

I have enjoyed the pace as well as the information in your presentation. Thanks, I have just got an allotment and I shall follow your system.

Great fun seeing the different techniques

Once lost a part of my fingertip trying to split wood while Holding it. I was extremely lucky.

Great to see you. This is such a good lesson as an Axeman and woodsman myself manual labour is just part of my life. I will share this channel whenever I can, you have a good thing here, please do NOT stop

Nice to see you again, bro. You hit the nail on the head. 👍👍

We’ve heated our house with wood exclusively for past 10 years. It’s a family affair cutting down tree turning limbs into bio char hauling splitting and stacking

Garlic is very toxic. They used to rub raw garlic onto their bullets in WW1 to make them even more deadly/destructive.

Good to see your still at it!

Happy to see you are back my man! Looks like some good projects you got going. And that doggo Logan :)

Good to see you again and good to hear you are doing well. I look forward to your future videos. Best regards.👍

Good to see you 😉

It's been a long time since I've seen you here now. Is all well with you and yours? I like your videos and hope to see more soon. 👍

thank you .

This was a great video series. Very helpful. Thanks.

Exactly what I was looking for! thank you so much. You didn't over-complicate it and made it both lightweight and practical for use. THIS is what a home-baker needs in the kitchen. I love the stopper in the front. I can do this... Thank you!

Thanks for this video. Just what I was looking for.

Work is interesting. On a base level-like _you're_ doing-work is GOOD. It provides for you and your family, and then to your friends and your tribe. The work you do, the servitude that you are enveloped in, is directly beneficial to _nature_ and to your closest friends and kin, like nature meant it to be. In other words, you directly affect your surroundings. And as long as your work provides survival, then you are also totally free within the bounds of nature. You know, I'm not so sure I'd call that work. Instead I'd use a different word: FREEDOM. But in the modern system, work _isn't_ something you do out of your own volition, within the bounds of nature. Instead you're kept well within those limits for a different purpose. And it isn't strictly something that is directly beneficial to your tribe either. Instead it's beneficial to your _leaders_ and the state, whoever they are. In this system, you are no longer completely free. Instead you are forced to do work through various incentives that invariably benefit _them._ How they benefit them is also very subtle. They've carefully constructed your jail so that you won't notice the bars, or see your lack of freedom. And so you fret about not being able to afford a big enough apartment, or that you're always completely worn out after coming home from your job. But it doesn't occur to you (or most modern workers) that the reason for that tiredness is because they've bought into their own jail as "freedom." It's their _"choice,"_ except what they've actually done is to choose _less_ freedom and trading it for more immediate comfort. But when they've got all that comfort, and are still tired, does it really mean anything? Because what is comfort without freedom to enjoy it? Sure, the common workers is not completely chained, but he is culled, and he is limited by abuse of power, for instance by laws or rules that they claim that you've agreed to, and not nature. It is a complete lie that you've accepted their laws, but sure, they're all ushered in by this system they claim is democracy. Except you've never personally agreed to them, like you would have in ancient Greece. Instead they're legacy tokens, ushered in mostly by lobbyists through the efforts of the elite. In essence you had no say in it, and now just have to abide by it or suffer the consequences. And so the democracy you live in is nothing but an illusion. Instead most of the time these "laws" only serve to wear you out, so you use all your time working for them instead of yourself, your family, friends or tribe. And it's very, very hard to break out of that jail too, because most simply don't know how. Here's an example: The only breaks you get under that system are on _their_ terms, and not your own. You don't get to decide when you have a break. They do. It is thus not governed by nature, but instead by them. Under most circumstances, I'd call that abuse of power, but these people are so indebted and so deeply afraid of losing the "benefits" their captors "award" them, that they keep on doing it. Because better the devil you know, I guess. And as a consequence of this abuse of power most modern or Western peoples postpone having children, because they have to "work" in order to afford a bigger child-friendly apartment. (Contrast this with all the migrants who still come from free and agrarian societies, and thus still have a lot of children. The elites need these to cull the West further, to pressure wages and to prop up real estate.) Most can't do that unless they input a _tremendous_ amount of servitude in this great and modern system. Yet they tell you that it's much better and safer than the life you're living now. Well, I'm not so sure... They do this by letting you have "freedom" only within their bounds, meaning that they won't let you have access to your own earth to till, or your own property to beautify and grow. Instead they only give you access to deeper servitude. The "property" you get access to in their system will never be enough for subsistence, nor would you know how. Because why would they teach you to be independent? That would go directly against their own self-interest. So instead they focus on indebting you, by avoiding at all cost to tell you how you can become independent, and through minimizing your available opportunities, and by telling you that modern amenities are the only thing you need. But if you cross them, they will take it all away from you. Well, does that sound like freedom to you? Does that sound like your only obligation is to NATURE? No! It's servitude! It's forced indebtedness. And so under this system, you're nothing but a slave. Sure, you've got far better conditions than the slaves of yore, and you get access to a reasonably good life with modern amenities, but most people under this system are anything but free.

Most “tutorials” out there leave me thinking I need $2000 dollars worth of equipment to sharpen a $50 axe thank you for not leaving the viewer confused

It must be Fall in Australia 🇦🇺

Laborare est Orare

Your Leather-Work is great. ❤ Greetings from Spain 🙂

Knowledgeable. But the axe shouldn't have to different bevels on the edge. The bevel should be somewhere around 25 degrees all the way across

wonderful, thanks!! 🥰

I'm doing my part and letting other video providers I had to go through to come to this truelly short and concisely presented the key basics of what I have been struggling with a video I believe is an example of true thought out care of the viewer. Thanks

Nice tip friend 👍🇬🇧

Like # 273

Thank you for your instruction. I enjoyed your tutorial very much and will follow your methods the next time I sharpen my axes here at home. New subscriber as of now.

Great tutorials, i followed every step. Thank you for this sir. Greetings from Sweden.

Excellent videos with minimum talk and maximum practical tips!

Thanks, down to the basics, no nonsense.

My grandfather was a lumberjack when they used still used buck saws , swede saws and axes to limb the fallen trees. This is how he use to sharpen his axe and then finish it off with a huge round stone that ran in trough of water and was rotated by a set of crank pedals. You sir know what you're doing.

amazing song! where do you live?
