How to Sharpen Blades for Wood Carving

Video Transcript

"On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Husain Abdul Alim and I am here to tell you all about wood carving. Home Depot special; very good to have. These go all in the different eyes, circles. These little rasps can clean up multitude of sanding and they are good to have. Also, our basic pin knife; can get into corners around the eyes and places that you need. I like to work using both of my hands if I can, away from myself never to myself. Never like this with a finger in the way. So, your rasp. Handsaws are very important. I usually keep one of these close by. When you are going around in the neighborhood and there is a storm and the next day there is branches all over the place, whip this out. You can slice up some nice little branches that have fallen and keep on going. So I don't go in the woods unless I have this guy with me folded up in my bag and a couple of bungees, throw them on my bike and I got a couple of nice pieces. That is usually what I do when I go back east. Some nice Maple stump; I am always, grandpa come on, I say I will be there in the minute. The only time they want my tools is when we got a vine to swing on. Grandpa cut the vine so we can swing. So, but usually I am looking for great wood with my saw and a comfortable place to sit down underneath a tree and imagine. Imagine all of my good dreams. So, that is pretty much it for tools. This putty is a tool because it will clean up a multitude of sense. You got a little putty here and if you got a hole in it from an insect or a crack from weathering, you fill that in with the putty or white glue if it breaks and your wood chips."
