Thanks a lot for the tips. Should teach like that in schools to help youngsters(and many adults) to maintain and reuse stuff 👍
There is something about his delivery that reminded me of the wonderfully laconic Jack Hargreaves ...
I just watched Paul sharpen scissors/shears for the last 25+ minutes (2 different videos), with not a lapse in attention. Outstanding material. Thank you again, sir, for sharing your wealth of knowledge.
"Get rid of the rust, just get rid of it. Rust is always a sign of neglect." 1:42 That's pure poetry! Amazing video, thank you!

@@glhoelscher I think you rounded the edge.
I have no immediate need for this, but it's always calming somehow to watch Paul work.

Neither did I when I first watched but I do now! Straight edges, double bevels and very rusty with wooden handles. Challenge accepted.
Having watched this ive just brought 2 pairs of shears back to life, great vid, thanks very much.
This video is excellent Shows the easy and best way of sharpening Thank you😊😊😊
Thanks for this. I think I'll go, umm, redo my garden shear sharpening of last week.
This is probably the best video on how to sharpen yard tools. Other videos digress on how to clean your tools. Thank you Sir Paul.
I watched this with a glass of wine in hand. Very relaxing. The gardening can wait.....

He was great in The Jam too! Sorry, just a joke. No sarcasm intended.
Thank you Paul! I came in from gardening with a rusty set of shears that were not cutting properly. They looked just like yours - complete with rust. I did everything you suggested including the oil and went back to the garden. Better than new for cutting!
Thank you so much, Paul! I've now sharpened all my clippers thanks to your help. Best wishes!
Thank you for sharing the info about sharpening shears. I've been worried about doing it wrong, but you have given me the confidence to give it a go.
I have a lot of work to do this week between the hedge clippers and old scissors. Great videos. Thanks
Excellent, thanks for a very lovely tutorial and for your gentle voice!
I've tried it. Now it's a pleasure to use my garden shears. Thanks for the video.
Wonderful video..clear, good visuals, great explanations. A joy to learn from.
That was a treat. Thank you Paul. You are a great teacher 👍
Fascinating, helpful and restful. Oh for a long bench and a vice! Thank you.

Maintenance of loppers
Thanks for your video. Really helpful, particularly the way you made it clear which part of the blades to file. I now have a pair of sharpened shears, ready for action
Keith Peters "I have no immediate need for this, but it's always calming somehow to watch Paul work." Agreed. Good video. Nicely and steadily presented. I wish there were more like this. Subbed and saved..
My shears have been given a new lease of life thanks to this video. Thank you!
Thank you. Very clearly explained and helpful.
I enjoyed this and I learned something thank you. You saved my old shears :)
Thank you Paul for the tutorial. Pace and clarity of your delivery was perfect. Normally I would skip through a 9 min video, HOWEVER this was really engaging. Had to subscribe 👌
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Your expertise is obvious and the videos to the point and enjoyable.
THANKS Paul, I have two pairs of garden shears that need this re-sharpening care.
Excellent video Paul. I've had a pair of garden shears I've wanted to sharpen for a friend but didn't have the information and the confidence. Your tutorial has provided me with both. Many thanks
Great, not a wasted word. Thank you, I learned so much.
Excellent video - addresses a very practical problem and shows that the solution is rather simple. Thanks
Thank you for the tips on how to sharpen it will save me time and money now I know how to sharpen them no more trips to the shops thank you again it's so easy when you see it done
I'm a long time follower both here on YT and on WWMC, and I've never seen this video, while I've browsed the channel many many times. This weekend I'm planning to do some garden work and I knew I'd have to sharpen my shears but wasn't completely sure how. And here comes KZread's algorithm to recommend this video, which is, as always, so informative it leaves me without questions and completely confident. Thank you, Paul.
I discovered the wonderful resource that is Mr. Paul Sellers through this video - it honestly changed my life! For 40 years, I knew woodworking with hand tools could be done - our ancestors did that for centuries. I couldn't find a resource like Mr. Sellers anywhere in the US. Thankfully the internet has introduced him to the world, I have never seen one individual with so much common sense. I needed a refresher today - thanks for all you and your people do, and keep up the good work!!
so simple and yet so effective thanks for sharing your skills
Thanks very Much.. I've just bought an Old scythe ...and now need to use my Old Shears...
That was a great instructional video. Your style is very easy to listen to. Cheers!
This is great. I'm going to do this right now. Love this channel.
Man, you look very professional at what you’re doing, good job mate 👍
Great presentation. Gives me confidence to do the job and save 15 dollars from paying someone else to do it. Bravo Paul
I tried your method of sharpening scissors that I was ready to throw out and I must say that I'm glad I watched you video. The scissors came out sharper than when I bought them Thank you for your videos and please keep making them
Exactly how I do. I was going to make a video on shear sharpening, I don't need to now after seeing yours, lovely voice too. As stated in comments below just like Jack Hargreaves. Well done.
About as clear and ‘Can do’ as anyone could make it . Thanks👍👍
Thank you Paul, enjoyable and informative. I have no excuse now!
Brilliant and completely the opposite of what I was thinking of doing using a grinder! Thankyou
Just enjoy seeing you sharpening this garden scissors
Love a sharp tool! Enjoyed the video! Chris
Thank you: excellent tutorial!
Ok let's get sharpening. I came to watch this video because I wanted to see how it's done, I didn't expect this to be that easy, or maybe it is because it is explained by legendary Paul Sellers!
Brilliant as ever Paul!
I would love to see Paul sharpen a kitchen knife! Great video as always gentleman.
thank you as always Paul!
Good instruction. Thank you, especially for the details.
Excellent video. Watching from Michigan, USA.
Nicely presented - very helpful
Thank you for a great, informative and well explained video Sam

Great technique!
Very informative and helpful, thank you.
Thanks, Paul! Great video.
I wish I could give a double thumbs up! Great video. Thanks
Another good one. Thanks Paul.
I've watched this - even though I know how to sharpen shears, just because I love Paul's presentation style. Personally, I'd use a 1/2 round file on the wavy edge - to each his own.
Thank you, all makes sense and very informative.
Thank's for helping me learn to sharpen our garden shears. I can do this now! yvonne :)
I enjoyed it so much. thank you sir!
I found an old, rusted pair of Corona hand clippers in an overgrown garden that I was weeding. They must have been out in the rain and elements for years, but I’m confident that I can use this method and restore them. Thanks!
Brilliant! Thanks
I never saw a wavy etch on the shear and I thought Paul is going to grind it flat and straight. Nice work bringing that shear back to life
Thanks, this is just what I needed!
Excellent Paul, thanks
Many Thanks, excellent video
excellent video, thank you, I will get sharpening now
Awesome Video Paul
Thanks for this. Going to give my old set go now. Was going to replace them :)
Excellent... I learned a lot.
Awesome!! Great video!
thanks Paul for this. video quite useful
Thank you for the great information.
This really helped me.
Great teacher!
That was a great video. Thank you
Thanks. Very useful. Nice and sharp. Better to grease the nut (called a Nyloc btw) and bolt when reassembling, oil the faces around the pivot before reassembling. And lose the adjustable spanner (use a proper spanner!) Loved you delivery. Cheers
I did enjoy that. Thank you.
You make the best video's!
Cheers Paul .
Thanks! Very helpful.
thanks for the great tips! first time for me so i will be sure to follow this guide! :)
Mr. Sellers, before I watched your very helpful video, I sharpened at an angle. You are 100% correct that they will not cut. Can I fix this? I have an old pair passed down in family and I need to preserve them since they aren't made like this anymore.
Great video
Thanks, Paul.
Excellent!
Marvellous !
I did enjoy, thanks.
