[@beek2930]

darmstadtKrö367 well most burglars wont have that specific transponder on them. If they do they can open the door without setting off alarm. But thats why you have motion detector and cameras. And if your door is locked they’d have to break a window and most likely the transponder wont work against the glass break sensor due to the distance from the sensor. A system like this a more of a deterrent. Look at the stats a simple lawn sign saying you have home security is quite powerful

[@darmstadtKrö367]

@@beek2930 that is something i can agree with a bit more. its just that your first sentence, 'smart people dont break the law' is arguably wrong since a lot of really smart people have broken the law and got away with it. i wouldnt use a lawn sign of the company of which you're using the security system, thats basically telling burglars what tools they have to use. and having a system that is bypassed in seconds still doesnt seem very secure, especially by something that blocks all signals, but i guess a deterrent is still better than nothing.

[@TokyoCraftsman]

I made my own out of MDF, it works great! I really works great on carving tools, and you can make one out of MDF that you can add concave and convex surfaces too for sharpening spoon gouges and other carving tools. Cheers from Tokyo!

[@hunt_trap_fish]

This is pretty awesome. Couple thoughts: 1) if you need to really re-shape the axe blade, using the wheel is a great place to start / finish, but people need to be careful not to get the head too hot or the temper can be affected. 2) The wheel gives you a very acute angle, and a concave angle can help the edge endure a bit longer, which can be accomplished with a strop after the wheel! 3) I would not sharpen a pocket knife on the wheel. I wouldn't want to remove that much material from a small EDC knife blade

[@jimbusmaximus4624]

This is all true. I stay away from the wheel unless I need to completely reshape an edge, and it's more work than a file will handle. Never use a bench grinder on a knife or thin blade. You'll likely remove too much metal and ruin any tempering it may have.

[@Xogroroth666]

"3) I would not sharpen a pocket knife on the wheel. I wouldn't want to remove that much material from a small EDC knife blade" Use far less pressure on the blade to the wheel. :S Done it plenty a time with pocketknife type stuff like small scissors.

[@hunt_trap_fish]

@@Xogroroth666 I have my nonni’s old grinding wheel and the guides are long, long gone. So I basically have to eyeball all my angles and trying to do that with a pocketknife and keep the pressure super light… idk if I could do that lol. I also wouldn’t recommend trying this as a person just learning to sharpen

[@robotstonka7118]

I saw on youtube that some people cut a wheel out of cardboard!!! Then the edge is suer sharp without remowing too much of steel. I really want to put that method to the test because results look VERY impressive. Has anybody tried that yet?

[@xTheDeadRabbitx]

About the add. " They are on it but not intrusive." I love it

[@rwstubbz]

My friend, when you use a powered wheel for too long, you overheat your edge (you see it smoking after the sharpening) and it becomes softer. Any heat treat is null. We could go into the formation of martensite and austenite the change in density, the change in crystal structure, and the ability of the edge to maintain the geometry, but it's not the place. Please be careful with your edges, but if you like it and it works for you, I guess do it, but a little information never hurt anyone. Shaving at this point does no good if it goes dull even 20% sooner that's 2 less swings per ten. I'd say go back to stones, but that's just me.

[@jonathanschubert9052]

I was sharpening my buddy's with a Smith's stone. It wouldn't take an edge no matter how long I worked at it. I knew what it was before he told me. Someone else sharpened it with a grinder.

[@RicoDuroska]

@@jonathanschubert9052 You can make a piece of aluminum razor sharp, it just wont hold an edge. If you couldn't get an edge at ALL it was likely your method rather than soft steel.

[@rickprice407]

MDF is a lifesaver for my lathe chisels. Faster and more forgiving than stone wheels and I can choose how sharp. I also built some MDF wheels for my Worksharp 3000 and use a .5 micron (15,000 grit waterstone) diamond paste and one with a 1 micron DMT diamond paste for plane and chisel edges. I'll be building some of these for the axes and machetes with black and white compounds on them.

[@GeeWhizRS]

I have these razorsharp wheels and they are the business. If you are looking at picking some of these up the best advice I can give is to add a little more pressure to the finer wheel than you initially think necessary in order to remove the fine burr. Tickling it doesn’t do much. They are well worth the purchase. 👌

[@100vg]

Thank you for the follow up and for using the Razor Sharp Edgemaking System on an Axe. This is really what I'd want it for, but it will also be great for sharpening knives, and about anything else that needs a sharp edge. I just subscribed to your channel and clicked the bell because of this video. I looked through your channel videos and didn't see it by the way I searched for it (I guess because you forgot the name of it) and I found it in a KZbin search for "axe sharpener." I'll keep my dedicated grinder and Razor Sharp wheels on it stored in the house to protect it. Thank you again!!! By the way, I bought a *very extensive* SimpliSafe system about three years ago and the biggest weaknesses are the Video Doorbell and the SimpliCams. I have a Video Doorbell and 8 SimpliCams, with one in the living room (with the shutter closed through the App so I can walk by it without a Push Notification in the App) and 6 mounted around the house (so far, 1 left), with one watching the shed, one watching the car and carport and one at all 4 corners. I still need to add the 8th one watching the back from the other corner. The SimpliCams they sent me are only 720p resolution (and your likely are, too), even though they have 1080p SimpliCams that I can't see for sale anywhere, but what's horrible about all those outside, including the Video Doorbell, is that the Night Vision is practically useless. Night Vision was an important feature to have for me, but it works no where near as good as anticipated. It's probably because the little Infrared LED isn't strong enough. I had to have electrical run around the house in conduit with outlets installed (all under the eaves) to power the Video Doorbell and the SimpliCams (because this house didn't have a doorbell) and I had the whole system wired so that everything can run from an Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) if the power goes out. City Power runs everything until the lights go out (like from a hurricane or bad storm) and the UPS is then needed. The UPS was rated for the system as it was, but now I have to add Motion-Sensor Lights for all of them so they can see anything at all at night with a chance of actually recognizing what's happening in the App with any clarity. This will mean that the UPS can no longer run the system as long, even with low-power LED Spot/Flood Lights. Plus the added expense and hassle of having the buy them and install them. And now, because the night vision is so poor, I may need buy another SimpliCam and Motion-Sensor Light for the center front of the house to watch the living room window and front door from the side since the Video Doorbell is facing forward to the the street. The system can handle 10 SimpliCams, so with the Video Doorbell, that would be the 10th. The Video Doorbell is touted as, "Sees people approaching, not vehicles and traffic." I'm here to tell you that mine sees every vehicle that passes on the street and gives me a Push Notice about it, but sometimes misses vehicles in the driveway. I know it's traffic because I can hear them passing, so why does it miss vehicles in the driveway? And the video Doorbell and SimpliCams will alert you to bugs flying close to the lens at night. I guess any system would do this, but it's aggravating. They can see bugs at night, but they don't give a clear image of much of anything with the Night Vision. The Night Vision range drops out of clarity at about 3-4 feet, so you'd need one for every window. I *hope* to increase that range with Motion-Sensor Lights and LED Spot/Flood Lights. Maybe I should start with only one to see how well it works. I thought I was buying the Ultimate Dream Security System, but it's really not even close to that. Then there's the fact that the Push Notifications from the SimpliCams have taken up to 16 minutes to arrive in the App. I know because the App says it happened 16 minutes ago when it arrives. In 16 minutes, a break in could happen and by the time I know about it and the Police (in my case, the Sheriff's Office) are even called by Monitoring and the Police/Deputy arrives, the thief could already be gone and I'd be stuck with the damage caused and the loss of whatever was stolen. The whole point of all the SimpliCams outside was to be able to see what's happening and call the Sheriff's Office myself before the Monitoring People even knew anything was happening. Had I known all of this, I would have bought a system with much better resolution wired cams, but I'm stuck with SimpliSafe, so I have to make it all work as it should have in the first place. SimpliSafe is not everything you think it is with a system as simple as yours. Your indoor SimpliCam won't show you much at night without a good light being on, and without that, being indoors, mine get more light from street lamps (and sometimes the Moon) than yours will, so just know that to protect yourselves and leave a light on for it when you're away. This is my true and honest review of SimpliSafe from an Extensive System perspective.

Cody, that MDF wheel is unlike the homemade ones. That disk you have has some type of carbide or something taking that metal down. The plain MDF with jeweler rouge is great for stropping or honing after sharpening. I have always sharpened my lawn mower blades with a delta table grinder and it works great. Quick like too..

[@Aubreykun]

You know, I think the concern about the grinding dust starting an electrical fire may have been due to the camera lens and shot angle in prior videos. It seemed like everything was closer together before, but in this one it's easy to see Cody has PLENTY of room there. I think it's important to be mindful of the camera being an imperfect tool - and no tool is truly perfect - taking video which is then being viewed by each person's imperfect perception. Viewers are missing something by not being there, and Cody may not easily be able or have the time to see what it looks like from a limited perspective.
