This is Why Your Tools Aren't Sharp

[@christopherroser1849]

Merry Christmas to you and your family. May your troubles be less and your blessings be more and nothing but happiness come through your door. 😊

[@Toms_Bright_Ideas]

I learned all about sharpening knives when I was in the Boy Scouts. Wouldn't you know it though I cut my thumb twice in one afternoon while whittling a neckerchief slide at summer camp.

[@Gef1804]

Sometimes I wonder what would happen if the world returned to the time of hunting and fishing, without the current comforts... because playing cabin is easy, but the hard part is having lived in that time without the comforts of today

[@Kaboom-0623]

keep a sandwich plate by your sharpening table ... a ceramic one ... the ring on the bottom is bare ceramic ... and works great for the final passes ... also holds paints for arrows and things ... or coffee mugs ... or sandwiches ... even candles and beer too ... ;)

Thank you.🤩🤩🤩🤩

Our deer season runs through the 22 of Dec, Don't really care for how close the hunters came to the back of the barn, though. I have stock. I have to have thyroid surgery on Dec. 20th. Yah, no Christmas turkey for me, but will fix Christmas dinner just the same. Maybe I will try the AG1 in the New Year. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

When I was a kid in the mid 70's we all had fold over Old Timer pocketknives. A friend of mines grandpa had this huge Tri wheeled leather belt machine he had made. We saw him using it one day and asked him to sharpen our pocketknives, he did then warned use to be careful because they were way sharper than we were used to. He wasn't lying, I cut my thumb just barely touching that blade! lol

[@pinetree5489]

Is that the first thing you did ... to check the sharpness?

[@tommychew6544]

@@pinetree5489 Yes, I was 9 or 10 years old when that happened. I really enjoyed the learning times of that time period so long ago. I truly didn't understand a right from a wrong decision back then. Learning was on the fly back then; I miss the innocence of the time period back then. It's hard to believe almost 50 years has passed since then, I almost remember it like it was yesterday. I don't understand how other people don't remember learning times of their past that are my age. I guess my plate was empty and I was all about learning how to fill it. That served me well for years to come, I forget the things that aren't worth remembering, I guess.

[@marygordon3032]

Thanks Shawn, I used to watch my Dad sharpen knives with that knife sharpener you were using and I didn’t understand the concept back then but I do now. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯

[@jimmyskiff9858]

Couldn’t always see angle of grinding as shot was off bottom of screen sometimes. Otherwise great info Jim Moran Liverpool UK 15:30

[@athollmcnicoll1028]

Good job you have a thick coat Cali as retreieving your toy in thick deep snow would soon freeze your belly and legs. My good friend Winter was a hunter and if he managed to shoot a deer, he'd hang it for three days then butcher it himself, as that was his job in civilian life. Good to see some traditions never die Shawn.

[@scottshultz8443]

Makes me appreciate my childhood. I give credit to my parents for the things I've learned. We were very self-sufficient. Hunted, fished, trapped and grew a huge garden. Processing deer was like running an assembly line. Miss those days.

[@zchully]

10 yrs ago you couldnt find a video on log cabin building now everybody shawn james !!!!!!

[@edwardmullendore2007]

Thanks this knife sharpening helps .I can get a good edge on straight blade but the curve nope

[@remystraub6990]

merci JAMES

[@cherylfrey7318]

I loved this video, EXCEPT I wish your camera was aimed lower. I think this was a very good explanation of sharpening tools, however we couldn’t see the pictures of what you were showing us. 😊

[@paulbird3235]

Afternoon Shawn.

[@AlWard-eo6yi]

Hi Shaun , I remember when I was Germany a German showed me how he sharpened a tow handed Scythe . I looked at the chisel end on the hammer and thought wanted to know what’s it for. He took off the scythe turned it upside down and started to hit the scythe on the blade he when the hole length and until razor .

[@louiswhitehead5938]

I’ve made dozens of drop point knives over the years for skinning knives . Most of them were made from old sawmill saw blades and tempered to where a new 8 inch file will just barely cut them . After I got them finished and sanded out I used a cloth wheel and jewelers rouge on an electric motor to polish the blades and finish the sharp edge . The blade would have a mirror finish on it . I sold many of them and gave some to friends and family . I’ve made some out of planer blades too and once you get them sharp and polished out you hardly ever have to sharpen them again . All you have to do if polish the edge again with the cloth wheel . I sure enjoy all your videos every week . We like deer meat here in Arkansas too .

[@pamelafeather6405]

AG 1 gives me gastrointestinal cleansing. I used to have issues with Chlorella years ago. I keep trying it in small amounts

[@bobstephens410]

Sure would be nice to be able to see what you are doing on the bench top

Merry Christmas

Love your show sir ShawnJames, watching from Wyoming usa!❤️🎉🇺🇸

[@SimonStormFrigon]

Does AG1 GROW on the land... Asking for a friend

[@PabloP169]

It is a while since I have seen much activity at the main cabin, with most at the workshop.

[@MrMilwaukee]

Just a FYI. AG1 is quite expensive. May be a good product but it will cost you

[@20x20Ghost]

Shot a Doe with my Bow dont ya know . Shawn I cant wait to show you the shelves that you inspired me to create the tall one with the bark on to your left rear if your sitting in your red chair they look like they are 76 inches tall maybe 36 in wide and 15 in deep perhaps putting on the finish tomorrow thanks for all your knowledge and lessons

[@sacredstonecards9051]

Hi Shawn and Cali. Merry Christmas ❤😊😊🎉🎉

[@calholli]

I have that same little wood stove.. I put it out in the shed though.. and now I'm using a 55 gallon drum kit.. I like it a lot better; Much more room. I welded in some cross bars and put in heavy sheet metal in the top so that it traps all the heat and has a good burn before it just escapes straight out of the flue. I liked that little stove though; My house is just too big for it.

[@LiveAlohaOhana]

Aloha Shawn " 🌴 great to see what you been up too! As a retired Chef de Cuisine ,my knives were my main tools and the quality of the blades steel is everything! From my Japanese Takamura Sashimi to my German Wüsthof amici ' the durability and strength through quality is everything through keeping an edge! Saying goes a cheap knife 🔪 is a dangerous knife ! A reliable knife is a safe and efficient and effective knife! Aloha Calli 🐕 🛷 Great show again! Mahalo nui loa Shawn ! 🐻 🦌 🫎

[@magdavanstraten3587]

I am watching your shows for quet a while now. Just love the ways you are doing this and the way you live. You don't have regular video's now and you don't show the work you do on your sister's place any more. Wondered about why. Any case enjoy your cold days, it is super hot here at the moment. May you and your family have a wonderful Christmas😢 together.

[@RobertPirtle-q9g]

I thought you stopped the AG1

[@janinewelle4429]

Loved the video Shawn 👍❤️💕🥰💖🇺🇸🙏

[@engineerandreev1974]

You know, James, you changed, forest changes you, extract the old version and exchange it for a new one, I know what I'm saying.👍

[@lindapetersen1800]

SHAWN & OUR CALI !!! How about doing a video on bone broth from the deer doe ??? Am thinking it would be great to use all that you can from the Doe !!! Just a Idea from me Shawn I can't remember if we did bone broth from our deer's that we all got at hunting season !!! I know we had 7 deer for me to butcher plus a cow & 1 pig for me also !!! Some deer have more fat on them so it would be a great Idea for bone broth !!! I have a wet stone plus a knife sharper that I do my knifes with & scissors with !!! Works well for me !!!

[@downeastprimitiveskills7688]

AG1 yes it keeps you Sharp. Fun to see the deer move into and out of an area. In the Fall we see them around the farm, I put a small buck in my freezer, recently I have not seen a track in our lite snow cover for almost 2 weeks. I've go the same strop and one of my boys cleaned it with break clean or something for some reason and the glue came undone, strop is key to a nice edge. 50 strokes per side and you get to see the wire work off the edge, usually.

[@KathleenNell]

We are using AG1, if a YOU had not approved it not sure I would have tried it. I feel better and more energetic now ! Thank you.

[@Kaboom-0623]

pity 80Bucks US almost ... 10 pouches to see what it is like would be nice ... around 20 or 30 bucks ... but at the exchange rate to Cdn thats a bit much .... even with the glowing reviews of Shawn's .... still a good sponsor ... I looked because every time you talk about them you are always enthusiastic about them ... even Emily is when she had them as a sponsor too ... Honest reactions to their product ... but the cost is out of my fixed income league

[@elizabethjohnson475]

That's why you must buy your vitamins and minerals in the form of organic food.

[@lyndiebright8508]

​@@elizabethjohnson475Sorry, cannot buy organic nor the AG1. Fixed income. I do get some minerals and vitamins.

Sponsoring is OK... But don't buy ore use this terrible AG 1.., It is only for stiel your money... Please take care...

[@monapace9673]

@@Rosty-ke6pd It's obvious that you have never tried AG1. Shawn has been using it for one year whereas myself, I have be drinking this for 3+ years and will continue to drink it as it definitely gives me energy and improves my digestive health. You, on the other hand, don't seem to care about your health and if you DO, then give this a try. Of course if you live in Canada, you'll going to have to wait until the Canada Post strike is over, as this product comes from the US and is delivered by Canada Post.

[@Rosty-ke6pd]

@@monapace9673 In case I don't need Canada post, because in Germany we have test labor in special to test, improve food... and the result is..... Expensive green powder with no health use.... But best formula to earn money for nothing... Throw your money out of the windows if you fell better...
