o so you mean draw file? ----- Original Message ----- From: Dale Leavens To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, April 12, 2010 5:52 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] advice pleas Hi Carl, I have an axe file I usually use to begin with. I sharpen a bevel from the trailing side of the hoe fairly steep about 45 degrees so the edge will be thicker. I have been known to use my belt sander if I need to take a log of material to clear chips from the edge of a spade or square nose chisel which usually results in burning holes in the dust collecting bag. I also have a length of Whetstone to finish the edge. When using a file to sharpen something like an axe or hoe stroke it sideways, that is, don't run the teeth up and down but slide the file sideways along the edge more like you would stroke a knife blade with a knife steel. This takes the steel down fairly fast and remarkably evenly. It does leave a burr so I use the stone to finish that off. Hope that is helpful. If I was Han Solo I'd probably pet my wookie ----- Original Message ----- From: Carl To: [email protected] ; [email protected] Sent: Monday, April 12, 2010 12:31 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] advice pleas how can i sharpen a hoe? for getting rid of the grass that groes up between the paveing slabs?
