I’ve been trying to learn to sharpen things for a long time. That’s how I got into woodworking-sharpening plane irons. It really does take some soul, it’s not anything you can master in a day or a week or maybe even a lifetime. I’m gettin’ better at it, tho’.

I’ve never tried it. I tend to cut myself when working with blades.

There’s something magical there, but also something very utilitarian, forged by someone that doesn’t care about you.
