I actually sharpened an axe before and put the final polish on the edge using a small piece of red hollow brick (made from essentially the same material as terracotta) and it worked a treat! So this video was certainly entertaining, I forgot how really functional this stuff was as it's been years since I did that axe sharpening
Now that is interesting! I did not think that would work so well! It's obvious that your technique is also playing a huge part in it, great skills Scott!
Around the back of your shed (Just kidding, I don't know where you live). These days it is most commonly used for flower pots (from what I can see). But it used to be used for a lot more things. It used to be used for roof tiles, pipes, outlets etc. If you have a salvage and demolition place near you. They might have some from an old house they knocked down. The pipe thing that I had people often like using for wine racks and things so they may hold onto them if they find them. Otherwise I usually only see it used for flower pots these days. I got lucky because there were a couple pieces like this along my parents fence line on the neighbors side. That have been there since we got there. That was about 20 years ago lol. He said I can have them all if I want them.
You might get in trouble pulling it apart though. One of my friends said terracotta roof tiles used to be a big thing in France. So they might also be an option if you can find some old ones.
@@scottshobbyz5416 ha ha yeah it's my dad's wine rack in our cellar so I definitely can't take it apart Yes red tiles are pretty common here, but the one I have are curved
Maybe you could use the edge or the end of it. I assume you aren't going to use it for everyday sharpening. But just for fun/practice/survival skills etc. So it could be a fun challenge. If you want one you can edc, put in a pack or in the car. You could make a small one from it. Break or cut some off. Flatten it on a big paver with sand if needed. Like i did on the sandstone video. Then condition the surface with some sandpaper on glass. Depends on how many impurities your tile has. Mine had small stones in it I had to dodge ortherwise it would be bad for the knife edge.

Thanks again. I was surprised it came out so well. Little slow cutting the steel but it did a good job. Just keep practicing and you will get there.

Grab a piece of aluminium and try that for your next video. I’m sure Anthony has a suitable piece.
