@TheRealGunGuyTV 3 года назад

Thank you, Felix. I have never before learned this wonderful trick. I like to do things with my hands rather than with machines. Maybe it is that I'm 63 years old. I remember when doing things manually was the norm. I'll use this trick often. Thank you again. You taught me a valuable life skill today.

@garysmith9818 3 года назад

@GunGuyTV : Ha, I was thinking the same thing, and I'm also 63, lol. Maybe it's a generational thing? But then, we did grow up in a time when it was common to see a person grab a hand tool to go do something. Anyway, I think this video proves that there is always something new out there, and that you are never too old to learn. 👍

@combatreadypappy 3 года назад

What a pertinent comment. I'm 51 years old, i sometimes feel stupid asking friends to show me skills that I should already know, but soon realized how few people have even my level of skill.. After retiring at 48 y/o and have been cutting down trees to clear land for my new home. Well, the home is here, but I realized that I've wasted soooo many great pine trees by just letting them sit (doesn't take long for them to get bug-eaten and rot here in the Georgia swamps). So now I get the bark off as soon as the tree is down and set the entire log up off the ground so I can cut it up how I want when I want. Entirely by trial and error, I've developed rudimentary skills, but I have to say that this video applies so much to things I've been trying to learn on my own, I feel compelled to subscribe and watch all the other videos. Felix, if you ever find yourself in Southern Georgia, I'd love to have you over for a barbecue . . .

@southern_pride0 Месяц назад

Thank you Mister Immler. My father didn’t teach me a thing about tools and my Grandfather died before I was old enough to learn anything he would’ve taught me, because of that almost everything I know about tools I’ve learned through trail, error, and helpful men like you. God bless you and your family. Stay safe.

@valencearden559 Месяц назад

So many people when "teaching" others to do something, use concepts that are imprecise, based upon their subconscious interpretation of "muscle memory". You have given a measurable, repeatable & fully explained process that is a comfort to witness. Thank you. Ok the final polishing isn't as laid out, but hey, learning to rough convex a blade with the rag is a game changer.

@throngcleaver 3 года назад

I drilled through the moving jaw of my vise on one side, and then tapped the hole. For holding something in the 2" to 3" range, I just screw a bolt into the tapped hole, from the face of the vise jaw, so the head of the bolt is between the jaws. If I need to grip something much longer, I use a piece of all-thread, (threaded rod) from the outside of the moving jaw. Once I lightly grip the item in the jaws, just enough to hold it, I screw the bolt or threaded rod out, until it touches the face of the fixed jaw, and tighten up the vise. Having it adjustable, keeps me from having to cut a piece of something to the right size when I need to hold something on one side of the jaws. I did the same thing on the fixed jaw of my horizontal bandsaw.

Hi Felix, this was great! I've seen similar methods in principal, but this was a very simple method using inexpensive, common items for most folks. I use the "Rooster Method" of maintaining my axe which is to put wet/dry sandpaper on automotive bodywork sanding blocks and using a sort of "J-stroke". It works very very well, but is not ideal for setting up a new grind on a store bought axe, certainly not as quick as your method. Thank you, I have 3 axes to restore and I will be using your method to set the grind on each! As for more axe videos, yes please! Actually, any woodsman, bushcraft videos would be great since you find such wonderful and innovative ways to do things, plus can explain them in a clear and fun way.

Great trick with amazing results! It's amazing how much basic common sense we have lost due to machinery and tooling taking over "menial" tasks. Things use to be 100% hand made with a very limited number of tools. This is definitely a whole lot of work per modern standards, but one could easily just make some series of wedges (from cloth, leather, wood, flattened dead frogs, whatever) and standardize grinding angles that way. Come to think of it, making these types of standard tools is probably how we forgot that we can improvise wedges out of rags in the first place...
