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!!
