billy bell smart people don’t break the law
@@beek2930 well, smart people dont use a home security system that can be bypassed with a single button press by a 2$ amazon device.
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
@@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.

I've been wanting a second grinder set up for wire wheels. Now I need a third for this purpose. Cool! :)
Love the video Cody! I have a 5 year old daughter and this Video has taken me back! She is so precious there is truly nothing like a daughter's love for her Papa! Time is precious they don't stay little long which know doubt you and Mama already know! Cheers Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family and most of all God Bless!
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!
That’s an awesome technique I’ll have to invest in a setup like that!!
Worth every second of my time to watch this. Quality content!
2:55 "your blade... will not cut"
10:16 "It will keeeel"
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
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.
"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.
@@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
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?
Don't mind if anyone says something negative about havning any sort of product endorsements. you would be one of the very few I'd trust to take something and tell it like it is. If somethings bad then it's bad.
I second that. I only trust Mr. W and that's why, for a while now, that I only use brand *X* for everything.
That's pretty cool to do, I've always sharpened things with those little 3M scotch wheels you use on a die grinder. Quick and easy and inexpensive too. I stumbled upon it on accident lol. Great video!
I’m glad you turned the motor around that first video was a little scary. Before it snows can you take your drone out to the trees you’ve planted. I would like to see how there doing please. Good job Cody!
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.
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.
@@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.
Everyone can sharpen aluminum when no one is watching
@@jonathanschubert9052 there are plenty of videos on youtube to verify if you don't believe me.
stones & files all the way for me.
Amazing, thank you for sharpening the axe. I was one of the people wanting to see that. I think I see where my next pickup for the shop is going.
Love all your videos and have found tons of great information on them. I have taken some of the tips and put them into use with that being said and i may have missed it. I know you are a bit of an axe connoisseur and was wondering if you have ever reviewed the Picard brand axes? If you have I would love to see the video if you can put a link in the comments.
Watched one of your videos and bought a lansky stone, shaving sharp axe the first time. It may have taken me an hour or so but it worked and I'll keep doing it that way.
Neat. I still use belt sander technique you showed for lawn mower blades to keep flat edge. It's the best I've had my mower blades.
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 KZhead 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.
Watching your videos is so calming for me, keeep up your great work!
You making the handle for that axe for Jack is one of the first videos of yours I've watched and been hooked ever since! Lol
ive seen this before its great glad yo have reminded me im gonna make one with jigsaw mdf cut it round lath it round then compound
Hi, After seeing this video, I ordered this wheel set and tried it out on my cheapo Home Depot axe. It worked quickly. But the grinder wheel needed more grit added by the time I tried to sharpen a second axe. Did you have the same experience? Wondering if I'm doing something wrong. Thank you for so many helpful videos!!
I still like traditional freehand sharpening. The process is nice and relaxing, makes my day better every time.
It's the best, my friend has this setup and does amazing.
Thanks for recommending the trail boss. I have been very pleased with its form factor and edge retention.
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..
I'm in your shop.. we stop for a coffee break.. now in the kitchen.. I make a comment about the key pad on the wall.. you explain the security system. We finish coffee break... return to shop knowing a bit more about security options for my home.. Pretty much the same ad any rral life interaction. If you can take the time and resourses to post informative info, more power to you. If it helps pay some of the bills then morr power to you. Thanks for sharing. Best to you and yours.
Did you add a link for the MDF wheels? I don't see it. Many Thanks!!!
You can make them yourself too
Stop bragging about your weather. I just got in my truck to go to work and it’s 103. 🥵
Kenneth Brown I know it’s hotter than satans nutsack down here

You need to move, that's horrible
Over here in the summer it gets to 112°F heat index because of humidity easily in the summer.
Picked up the same set of wheels a couple months ago. Love them! You can also sharpen serrated knives on them, like bread and carving knives, by running the curved serrated parts of the blade over the edge/corner of the wheels.
What is the set called? Thank you!

Here in much of Wisconsin our Dairy Queens and many ice cream places stay open. I've gone through the drive-thru at -5°F to get ice fream.
We were at 33-degrees this morning, near Olympia, WA. (9/30/2019)
I’d love to hear how it does with your kitchen knives and if the blades hold up decently over time.
Thank you for this great sharpening solution. Can you do a video on using these wheels with a plane blade? I'm curious if they would do as good a job.
I have one of those cold steel trail boss axes. I also have the Gfb small forest axe. And The Scandinavian. Point being the trail boss axe can compete with the high dollar axe sometimes I find myself going for the trail boss before I go for my top quality axe. Best axe for the price everybody needs one.
Nice. Thanks for sharing. Always looking for a better way to sharpen my axes
I bought the wheels from Grizzly and the motor from Harbor Freight about a year ago and did what you did turning the motor around. It works great.
This system looks really effective and efficient, thanks!
I like how smoothly you integrated the product endorsement. I wish every channel could do it that seamlessly.
Boring story
About the add. " They are on it but not intrusive." I love it
Do you have an affiliate link for the MDF wheel?
I made a wheel out of pine and used buffing compound. Worked great.
I was planning out a custom desk in my office.i am thinking about hand planning some reclaimed pallet wood and making a nice design with it on the desktop. What size and type hand plain would you recommend
Looks really great. Have an amazing week, Andreas 🇸🇪
Hey I know it's late in the season but can you do a video on the budget chainsaw? Not the cheapest one but like somewhere in the middle. I saw your video on the cheapest on Amazon but I figured there was a slightly better one than that, that costs a little more out there. I heard the poulan pros are pretty good and they are Owned by Huskvarna. Please let us know and thank you.
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. 👌
I have the simplisafe doorbell and interior camera. For the price and only $5 each per month for monitoring, I love them. The audio output on the camera is horrible if I want to talk to someone through it, but it's a great deal and peace of mind.
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.
Good job on the commercial. Typically I can’t stand commercials because they are so fake and ridiculous.... BUT, I enjoyed yours. Genuine. Good stuff.
you will have to do a vid on how to charge the left wheel with the grinding grit. I sure like to finish with a buffing wheel with rouges (sp)
Would you recommend sharpening a Gränsfors??
The world according to sweetloaf these endings are brilliant 👍
Snowing up here already... think we are going to have a real winter this year!
Good video, good system. Thanks for sharing, take care.
Would love to see you review the H&B forged belt axe
Ms. W really loves you, you can tell. Love your videos, just subbed recently.
Glad to see that you switched the wheels around it looked awkward I was thinking if that would help
Great video! I can’t wait to hear people complaining that you had a sponsor for this video!
I am gonna look into that simple safe, thank you very much :)
Subscribed, great work on this channel, thank you.
I bought an mdf wheel at the dollar store yesterday. Ineed to find the center somehow and drill a hole to try this. Its only a 5 or 6 inch but il put it o n a slow bench grinder.
Way cool man!!! I use a old flapper wheel on a grinder, work good but man thats sharp!!!
What happened to the review on the Liam Hoffman ax
bucking billy had a video where a belt sander can sharpen just as good. And being sandpaper it doesnt heat up the steel ruining the temper. Thats a option for the guys that cant afford the mdf.Inteesting concept with the mdf though.
Belt sander works for me.
What are your thoughts on sharpening with a 4 1/2 inch angle grinder with a flapper disc - it works for me
I guess that I’m not the only one who would love a new watch update video! Love it
Could we drag and drop some of our weather to you and vice versa? We will be close to 100 for most of the week! Great vid!!
It’s only 96 in Bowling Green, KY right now
I have a favor to ask of you too do if u would please will you make a video on the difference between a regular chainsaw chain semi chisel chain and a full chisel chain
So a year ago or so I watched a your video about Harbor freight axes and every time I m in the area of harbor freight I stop by to see if I can get a axe for wen I go camping. Well the dam thing is no were to be found and I been to three different stores for a year now and nothing (were is this Invisible axe) you were talking about??, but today I went to ace hardware store and they have a 2 1/4lb Collins axe with 28 inch handle and that's wen realize I know dirtily squad about axes. So my question to you is what is the wright length and weight for a camp axe.? Thank you.
I love seeing the whole family in these videos!
Great information, thank you. And you created an angel, she’s going to help dad in the shop. 😇
Dang, that's so easy even us East Coast guys can do it!😊
Haven’t talked about watches in a while brah.. you got the bug bad. Nice Explorer
The micro doses of the Sweetloaf make my day. Takes me back to when my girls were that age.
Got the wheels yesterday and sharpened every knife I could find: kitchen, shop, pocket, etc., razor sharp. about 12 knifes in about 15 minutes. Cheers, Mark
dont you get concave edge with that? even more after several sharpenings? For axes convex is much more preffered i think.

Yes great way to ruin the temper
Wow that’s great sharpening in so little time Stay safe y’all from Toronto covid-19 🪓
I've been doing something similar, polishing my axe edges with a cotton wheel in my DeWalt 12v, takes longer for sure. Someday I'll get a bench grinder again, someday I'll have a place to stay where my things won't get stolen or sold. Family problems and drug problems, alot of people are trying to hold things together, personally I'm trying to start a lawncare business so I can take care of things myself and be left alone to do it.
Props to you sir I hope you reach your goal. Top job👍

@@racerx9223 I have a playlist I use most days to get my head ready to attack the day give it a listen I hope it helps 👍
I had to use a bench grinder on a cheap axe my dad gave me because he couldn't chop with it, It was such an awful state from new I had to invest a fair bit of time just to get it to split, my preference of axe has been a Husqvarna hatchet and small forest axe. not brilliantly sharp out of the box but I used some silicon carbide paper and elbow grease to get it very sharp :)
there is defiantly a knack to doing this. most important is to be slow and gentle, you dont need to press on hard or take lots off
where did you get the storage bins that you store under your work bench
I may have to make or buy an mdf wheel then. Good to know.
It's getting pretty cold down here in portland too.
Could you go over how to true grinding wheels ?
Holding the right angle on one of these types of spinning sharpening devices DEFNITELY takes some skill (albeit your title claim.....). Many guys that are too inpatient with a stone are going to really mess up a good blade with something like this... I've been using a Smith's handheld sharpener with the long handle to touch up machete and axe blades for 5 years now, takes 2 minutes and does a decent job refinishing an edge, Anything beyond that, chips/dings, and using an angle grinder first and the Smith's sharpener has worked just fine and doesn't take long at all.... I've learned even more patience in my machining schooling and could hand grind these tools at this point, but there is not much need with a simple pull-through 2 stage sharpener. Now do I use or need to sharpen things nearly as often as you?? HIGHLY doubtful lol
Can you please put a link to the MDF wheels? I would like to buy them Thank you!
