It’s great to see the old sharpening station back in business.

@Isaac_5.56x45 Ай бұрын

East Coast men sharpen our tools with the calluses on our hands because we don't have soft skin like west coast fancy boys!!!

@handofblood409 Ай бұрын

The good ol’ east coast hand strop😂

@aaronbosen6743 Ай бұрын

So that's why you can't cut anything worth a damn.

@TUCOtheratt Ай бұрын

Men on the east and west coast are pretty soft these days.

@sociopathmercenary Ай бұрын

Us Midwesterners think that men on both coasts are a little salty.

Quite the interior designer you are. I wish I had that ability to be so neat and tidy

@PROJECTBEAST. Ай бұрын

Now that is a nice lable stencil maker. A little over the top for the average joe like me but the type of thing you'd love to find on a flea market for a good price. Nice.

@barryhoneycutt3894 Ай бұрын

Another great video Brother :) Learned some stuff. I noticed, when your working on something, whatever doesn't matter what, you have everything neat clean and ready to use, easy to find, cleaned and prepared before storing and ready to go when needed. That impressed this 71+ yr old. I am going back and organize all my stuff, easy to get lazy and stop doing what needs to be done. You said something the other day, my dad, grandpa always believed in and did. "If something is worth doing, it is worth doing right" thanks WBC :) 🙏❤💯🙏

@Monaco-BuilditFixitDriveitEver Ай бұрын

It’s pretty hard to be that clean.

@lostworldvideogames Ай бұрын

The East Coast version of this cabinet would have been refinished with old wood paneling left over from a basement remodel.

@heatshield Ай бұрын

That’s really nice. I’m in the middle of a whole lot of storage and organization. I would probably put some cup hooks on the outside to hang a brush. That way when you put your tools back you’ll always have a quick way to tidy up the bench of stone or file dust. That particular brush is allowed to get oils and sharp nastys on it unlike other shop brushes meant for cleaner things.

Dilute some sulfuric acid to about 10-20% and soak your files anywhere between 10 and 24 hours and it brings them back to life. Another good sharpening tool.

Organized, Mentor! My small Ingersoll Rand air compressor comes in handy before I paint or clean my tools. It really cleans those pores out! Sleep well, and remember your dreams, Sir!

@tylersmith6334 Ай бұрын

Great project, keep all your sharpening tools in one place. The Worksharp belt sharpener is fantastic, puts a edge on my knives like they just came from the factory. So glad you chose East Coast Man Green as the color to paint the cabinet. See some of us have things in common with West Coast man. The best part was the stencil letter maker, I didn't know they existed in a small form factor like yours, will have to look for one to purchase. Over-all this was a great informative video. Thanks for sharing.

I hope this means we are going to get back to wood shop content soon. I've really missed watching you make wood projects with your hand tools.

@josh857 Ай бұрын

It always amazes me that people get mad at Cody for having tools and land. That’s his job! To teach us things and show us what can be done. He’s an almost old enough to think about retirement and has had multiple successful businesses this being one of those. We get All his knowledge from those jobs and years of experience and he gets to buy nice, quality tools to teach with. Sounds like a win win to me.
