Redneck at it's finest, LOL Nicely done!!

[harrydude]

Is the video working?

[pikergolf]

Worked for me. Windows media player.

[harrydude]

Very good. And the angle is adjustable too

[pikergolf]

How long did the stone last?

[harrydude]

I have done 5 blades and no real sign of wear to stone. You do not need to take much off unless the blade is really bad

I also per file the V's in the ripper blades with a triangle file

I played with different ways to sharpen the blades and this seams to be best yet

[pikergolf]

I always did mine with a file, but I can see where your system would be superior as the angle is always constant. Reason I asked about the stone is that it looks and sounds like a water stone, they cut fast but wear fast as well. If it is a water the oil will plug it up quite quickly, the other thing about water stones is they can be flattened. Use very course sand paper on a flat surface, and soak everything with water, then rub the stone on the sand paper. If you mark the stones surface with a pencil you can see where the paper is cutting it. Very ingenious by the way, I like stuff like that, men makin stuff. LOL

Cool lookin rig. Thanks for posting. I had thought about how I was going to sharpen mine this spring before putting my gear away. I'm thinking that I'm just going to use a stone and some muscle but if I have some junk lying around I might give your model a go. :)

Very nice!!!! That is exactly what I figured the rig would like. Definitly making rednecks proud with that one.

Btw, I see you got the garage clean too! (cleaner anyways Lol!)

I just take mine to the local skate sharpner at the Rink

Nice work, original vid worked for me.

[WillyOneStyle]

very cool gadget

[wetchimo]

How much would you charge if i dropped off a set of blades?

[harrydude]

Well I finally had a chance to get the auger out with a set of blades I sharpened after we sanded them at Chester slue.

It worked great. Cut great and chipped were big.

No doubt in my mind that they wouldn't, nice job!

It is all about the angles. And always need more power:sHa_shakeshout:

[silverdoctor]

love it, there's been some great ideas on this forum.

[BBJTKLE&FISHINGADVENTURES]

That's a beauty contraption right there , bet you could sharpen all sorts of things with that Jem.

[Sooner]

Cool video, i just keep a file in my tackle box, couple swipes and it freshens up the blade but it doesnt last, your way would make for a nice edge for sure.

[ogre]

Way cool, Harrydude!

[HuyFishin]

wow nice invention lol
How long does a jiffy blade last everyone anyways?

[harrydude]

A blade will last a long time if you never hit dirty ice but like Chester sluuuuu lake the ice is very bad on blades.

Also known as sanding your blades

But like a shape knife always better
