Needless to say earthly grooming with sharp metal objects is dizzying and as a rule I was consider if I pick up a tool I will be working for the duration of the job with it as a self inflcited injury(ies) of the worst kind.
As far as blade care goes I did some blade care todayas far as sharpening and lubricating. I also tightened up thse tools a bit after painstakingly arranging my wrenches. Just prepping from tommorrow as I am sick today from the work I did yesterday as it was massive amounts of grass. I was sharpening this withsmall stones I found or on other pieces of flat iron or bricks or hollow blocks. Today I used a dremel I have that rarely ever gets any use.
Sparks flew and I had some good edges. I decided to do some prepping on some pruning shear for the overhanging tree branches out front. I should have taken these apart to sharpen them, but it might look like some ninja weapon. Ne need.
Some spray lube and sunshine and I have rabbit, horse, and rooster signs. Also moons for capricorn. These tools still remember the same grip I first picked them up with as a child. I am not going to do anymore work with tools for today.
I can do other work around the house and with my computer.
Workaholism is a my main concern.
The thing about work, tools, and grip is that once you really own one you have dominion over so many others. Kind of like facets of a gem, they can give light to work, multiply its benefits, or just make it impossibly hard even to look at.
Your surroundings are very depressing.
Yes I have a mess I am not fully showing. That’s because I am working on it and making progress with this pandemic time off.
Mark, that Dremmel is a great tool but using it for blade sharpening really isn’t a good plan. There are some amazing youtube videos on blade sharpening out there, even for very old and corroded blades. I suggest you take a look at a few of them. I had no idea how easy it is to sharpen a blade correctly.
I was going to post pictures of various pizza slices but I thought the grass clippers would be less harmful to you. The smaller knife you have is better for your goiter.
Do you own a pizza cutter?
No. I don’t eat pizza. I love pizza, I just love being healthy more.
I have a pizza cutter. The problem with pizza is I want to eat 2 slices and I’m done. So it’s a waste. Unless you are having a party. I use my pizza cutter to cut fudge. Which is probably worse for you than pizza. I can’t eat a ton of cheese. Been into rice bowls lately. No knife needed. At least not the eating part.
I wish I had that problem. My problem is I can eat a large pizza in one sitting so I don’t have pizza at all and instead am fasting all day. We are trying fasting one day per week. I think it’s a nice tradition to build. We chose Thursdays because when we’re in Canada, the weekends usually have activities that involve food and we don’t want to just say “oh, we can’t fast this week because of ____”.
Sounds like a great idea. I skip dinner twice a week. That’s as close as I get.
I am going to try to sharpen my pizza cutters with a kitchen sharpening stone. They don’t really cut well unless the pizza is braced, like in a box. You do notice they wait to cut the pizza until after it is placed in thebox if you ever order to go.
Getting a lot of cardboard from shipping deliveries?
That is if you like a brittle metal edge. The only concern is that the heat from any high rpm grinding stone will affect it. But that metal is soft and not so delicate. Doesn’t mean it isn’t dense, it is just not brittle. Brittle can be sharp.
Isn’t the pizza already cut before they deliver it?
I was going to review frozen pizzas. Yes it is cut, sometimes I request square cut over triangular slices. Or wedges if you do the really really deep dish, which I haven’t ever really done.
I go to costco once a month. People rave about the cheap pizza. It looks awful. Very greek looking.
