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.

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.

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.

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 . . .

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...

I THANK YOU FOR A KEWL TRICK. I've sharpened semi-professionally for over 50 years, have seen and experienced many kewl tricks from all nationalities, but this is the first time I've seen Radial Draw-filing done with a shop-rag as an angle pivot bearing! The rag protects the side finish of the steel as well as giving a uniform cross-angle spanning the entire side surface. It is a perfect solution to an age-old problem! I applaud you, sir!!! An addition to your rig, a tip from me to you; cut off one finger of an old glove and slip onto the tip section of your file, to cushion your palm from the sharpness of your file teeth. This way you don't have to loose the FEEL of your file. THANK YOU FOR POSTING !!! Bill from Tn. 🇺🇸

@@FelixImmler For information, I have a friend that has an old and rusty axe. I don't have enough tool to transform it in carving one, but I will try to sharpen/reprofile a convex edge. So thanks to your video, I have the opportunity to try it.

Pure genius. That turns a simple splitting axe into an actual tool. (Along with the lightening up and response you get from the bearding.) Eager to do this to my own red-bladed whatever hatchet. Thanks for the very useful video!
