I have some skills that allow me to restore tools (Japanese speak for I am actually pretty good) and not developing wood working skills. This is my channel where I share all my tool related videos. Here you can learn some tips on sharpening everything from chisels, razors, knives to axes. I'm about using tools not just making them look good. Translate: don't expect a mirror shine, beard shaving sharp is my standard. I like starting woodworking projects with a log so you will get to see my axes, ripping saws and sometime my mill at work before we move on to nomi and ryoba. "Chestnut_nag" is my handle on Ebay. Every month I bring in at least one box of tools from Japan. Some I add to my tool kit others I sell on Ebay, Facebook or directly to people who have asked me to track down something special. www.ebay.com.au/usr/chestnut_nag
