How to sharpen your axe, (easy way)

yeah nice best freakin new yeah brand-new it's missing a couple that's a nice ask are you coming home normal time 32 but it's gonna end up at 31 right it's a bell now bluegrass oh yeah bluegrass yeah feels like the head feels light on there the handle is it's like yeah it's not as heavy as hickory but you can see oh well yeah check this up yeah you can see that's what I do I go right in there that hat that's actually a nice clean relax so what that access friends is um Colby when we were up seeing Colby he gave us that ax he gave me the he gave Hogan the head because Hogan was talking about the tree hatchery head you can't really see it because of the light right now tilt it back a bit there you see that little tree there right right there I was talking about that and Coby pulled one out look at that look at the mushrooming on it look at wheat like we just nailed a wedge in there it's a really nice little axe these German heads though they're and they'll burn and look at how freaking look at the green eyed or nothing almost beautiful highly freaking strong green in there it is that's that ash looking stuff pinstripes down it it's a beautiful axe but these German heads I'll tell you we havin trouble gettin getting the head on we thought it was crooked we realized that it is bottom of the blade right here they're notorious for its up goes off to the side or maybe somebody filed it too hard on one side so we were freaking out and thought our hang was all messed up I was getting a little frustrated there for a minute name is Colby product it is nice so I want to show you guys something guys gals women and children I want to show you a little something this is that big axe you guys just saw on that last video Becky we got your axe done I even while I even did a little bit of throwing and sweating with it so you'll see that doesn't excuse me so remember at the beginning of the last video of this Buttonwood where I drop the axe on the piece of wood in it and it didn't even stick in this big double bit it didn't didn't do that well there's a reason for that and it's this see they're both like that but you know what the cool thing is friends is that this is it's just what it's worn down perfect it's a beautiful piece of steel beautiful piece of steel but I want to show you a way to just change your bevel a little bit to get a little bit more of a bite just to get any initial entry to the fiber of the wood the Rings and kick it out this work gets played good but I felt that it could be a touch sharper and we're gonna go test it again and you will see the difference if it's sticking that means instantly that your penetrating wood better than you are with a blunt head so it actually is sticking a bit now just as after we got in to sharpen right see that that's a good thing yeah so there we go remember my dad's mauls Oh crazy see this I want to make sure it's focusing okay see the bevel I've just started filing it but look at I haven't even touched the edge yet you don't want to go out to your edge right away friends you don't want to do that or you're gonna start you're gonna you're gonna burn the edge for starters okay this is the this is just worn out piece of sandpaper watch this all this is hand-eye coordination friends that's all it is that's all it can be I don't have any jig set up for right and you don't want to heat it up heats not good so look let's look again okay this is good to see look we're just on the outskirts right up at the end which is what I want but look we're not even on the edge yet that focus yep that is good see Frank we're still not even on the edge that's good I don't want to be I could still do this I could still do it friends if that that's a good time it's a very good time because all we're doing is just yeah this is starting to look good look at this see if this will focus in on this we would be knighted Attwood there it is there's the other side see it on Sanford's so this is good very good I could touch it right after [Music] see this there's no there's no heat you're not taking any temper out of anything you can see what I've done I still don't have I'm nowhere near having a sharp edge see how shiny the shiny it is so you don't see the light shining off it that means dull you see so that's the way to start getting there it's looking good over and out all right okay everybody I just want to show you as a couple things in order to check your your sharpness on your axe if you're looking for something crazy sharp let's turn it like this let's see if it'll work on the beat kind that way we'll get light behind it yeah there we go yeah see there there we are right there oh this is deadly friends it grabbed it now as I turn look for the shiny parts on the on the blade there ain't gonna be many I'll tell you that because it's sharp you'll see it it's a boat see it there see the shiny part you can just see it it's right there almost at the bottom not quite though like in the middle almost see the shiny part right oh I'm going all over right there right next to the to the right of the police sticker there's a little shine there see it because I'm holding it with my leg there it is look at how shiny that is right there friends that's it the rest is completely sharp that's funny I gotta figure that out anyway it's not a big deal so friends I'm not joking yet listen I've tried all kinds of files this is the straight goods and you'd only know this you would only know this is it if you use flat files all time for power saw I'll tell you something right now these flat files another thing you'll be proud of me of leather gloves I was I'm done I'm not I'm not doing it anymore I'm not I'm not being stupid anymore I'm starting to get this thing now here's a I think I know what I paid it's a bastard file Nicholson good quality garbage well it's not guard but friends it like listen I'll show you listen I want you to listen to this this is what I do I'll show you something listen take that up okay check it out see what you guys got for visual sorry friends okay there we go if you're right on their watch what's this listen to it listen to this instantly hear that it's pulling steel listen to this oh I got a glasses on that's what I gotta do there oh there we go listen to it look at this throw the steel you can probably see it falling off there the technology to do this I think we can do it let's do it let's put you right here and let's see is that focused in or not that is you can't tell me that's not right yeah yeah it is check this out friends see these see the metal Oh am I ever excited about this this is a new angle for watch watch what happens find your angle see it change look at it now that's the beautiful thing about these doing this by hand with a file you can see alright to get the edges right away wow this is going to and you don't have to go wild man like me so where's that okay there we go take a minute take a look at where your files are right I can guarantee ya yeah I don't see any shine there maybe a little bit here this is freaking sharp I mean sharp friends it's gonna be look I get excited because I don't do this all the time I'm just gonna try and keep this cuz we got light on here watch just what happens now see if you can see any shine I don't think we look older does mind this guy damn it oh yeah look see what a beautiful example look at that that is crazy right there a little bit here and down here that's it you want to talk you can go like that right lay I you try and do that here you'll cut your finger deep that is is that cool or what friends I love it actually what do you wanna know what that is that is that on friends is that focused yeah it is I like it let's use this Balkans using gloves he's getting smarter telling you you guys would be happy look at these leather gloves they're deadly deadly not just deadly but deadly deadly so now I can see and it'll cut your freakin fingers there's no glare none and you know what there's a teeny little bird sorry friends look at look at that no shine watch when I flip the axe over oh my dear girl oh my watch see that instantly right there right there I got to get that overnight well I tell you that is I love doing that friends if it's it's so satisfying not brain science friends oh I'll just show you what I do come on over and this is very time-consuming so it's not something I make a habit of doing friends I'm just telling you this right now III don't do it a lot it to me it you know I mean it's not something I get into doing but this is it this is what I do to get the bird right friends and that is like the finest you can get it I don't even know what it is but I started wearing gloves because I've been taking shortcuts and taking risks for far too long and when you get injured it slows you down you got to wait to work and I just figured why not just start to be a little smarter you see so but that's all a guy really does friends he just like I stayed now he's now he goes to the other side you can either you know do this and just just keep going let's just just move it you know just a little loop get it down on the on the blade and away I go how's that still in the target zone yeah that's good I tried to make the edge harder friends doing this that's that which this is what makes an edge harder because if you leave a little bird on there it's gonna fall over instantly right exactly so I don't get much more carried away than I just did right there and then it's sharp where's the eye on this guy oh I dropped the eye in the sky last night do you guys remember that I freaking dropped it I think friends there it is right there oh my goodness gracious dropped it again gosh that would have been helped by a loss that forgot about that let's stop let's look at that smile today friends really mild so Dewayne rest in peace Doane I was excited to be on the show with them I was hoping to meet Dwayne actually I was hoping that the Axman show you know I was hoping I was going to get the opportunity to go down to meet Dwayne but it didn't happen he passed away we'll see you see you next time doing okay we're gonna do something here I'm going to show you this edge now it's basically done takes time friends it just freakin takes time we're gonna switch you guys around because the light works better this way much much better let's do this who's it friends let's see if we can maintain it I think it's gonna disappear as soon as they turn to the edge nope it held on look at that no shiny bits tells you a lot you're on this side okay good enough let's do this we all know what's gonna happen here now I'm gonna hold this eye in the sky like I do like this I'm gonna bring this in there it is look at it then I in this cage nuts yeah like this so there's our edge what fingers are right there okay like this can you see that you can't look at it so I had a shine on one side no not this one but look at that friends okay well maybe they're a little bit right there yeah but I'll tell you something this is sharp we're gonna go outside okay we're here do you guys remember so what I've done is that Broughton it's a it's it's winter for starters it's like the seventh of December and it's mild it is mild I wouldn't be out here in shorts these if it wasn't it's not it's not warm but it's mild I'm not chilly Becky I'm surprised excuse me I am I'm surprised you look at this and you think huh well it's you know what it's not a massive splitting Pro profile but these cheeks these little bevels they did work they did work it was a good design it was a good thought process this thing's surprising it's very surprising here let's get you guys back a bit very nice good I'm happy about that so that's good that's that's nice and sharp now we spent a lot of time on that friend so what are the benefits right there's got to be benefits or yeah see this is just a nice hard edge we've got no damage to some nice axe friends really nice I'm glad I didn't go all crazy on it you see it's it's nice we just spent a good bit of time over there splitting before I came over here it's

outside breathin expelling physical energy getting a sweat on getting your heart pumping in the blood moving through your veins instead of stagnating you're just gonna have less complications I know it's hard sometimes when you've been sitting for a long time I remember when I was injured and happened to get moving again it was like climbing out of a hole it was awful but I did it and I want to maintain what I got right now I'm 50 so I'm far from done France far from done so I get out as much as I can me and the wife we're gonna start walking she talked about it the other day she wants to go
