Hey, I came across this video out of the blue, and I have to say, it's pretty impressive! The quality is top-notch, and I'm surprised the creators don't have a huge subscriber base. The explanations are clear and helpful, and the video angles are on point. Oh, and that dog in the video is just amazing! Keep up the great work, looking forward to your future content!
I've been looking for exactly this! Can you recommend me the best one of your videos to understand what you're doing to weigh the blade to measure thickness? I'm not clear on what's going on there. Great video; you've gained a sub!
This video is all about the Edge-on-Up. ua-cam.com/video/VarLwvHw2q4/v-deo.html It's measuring, in grams, the force it takes to cut a little wire. The lower the score, the sharper the edge.
Great content. I've been sharpening my axes very similarly, I even strop the same way. The difference is that I use 400/1000 grit diamond stones. Would you recommend going higher in grits?
Thanks. You should ask yourself if you're happy with the results you're getting. If you are, there's no need to change what you're doing. For how I use my axe, having a refined edge is great for leaving a smooth surface on the wood, which might be different from your needs. If you are carving, I would recommend trying a higher grit stone, but you might be just fine with your strop.
@@SharpeningSupplies That's what I wanted to hear. I wouldn't think that higher grit finish would leave a smoother surface after cutting. Will definitely try that out!

Thanks for the kind words. I'll let Charlie (the dog) know he was appreciated.
Great video, you’d be able to raise a burr faster and remove less metal if you apply pressure to the stroke away and less on the return.
Thanks for the tip!
