"Great video! Although I’ve tried to do some sharpening of garden tools in the past, I’ve never been satisfied with the results. After watching this video a couple of times, I went out and did the best job I’ve ever done on my dull hoes! Thanks so much."
GloriaTexas
"WOW! Thanks so much for this tutorial. I fall into the category of "afraid I'll screw something up". Now I feel ready to at least try to love my garden tools a little more."
GailOregon
"Great informative video! After gardening for 30 years I’m finally determined to give my long neglected gardening tools some overdue attention this winter. There’s so much to know – what to use on the metal, the wood (in different stages of wear), etc. This video confirms a lot of what I ‘thought’ I need to do & what to use, but greatly clarified what to use, when & why!"
PatSyracuse, NY
"Excellent how-to. Lucid and thorough, without useless chatter. Clear close-ups to demonstrate his point. One of the best how-to videos I’ve seen."
DaleMontana
"Great video on sharpening! I’ve never sharpened a tool, but today was too much work with dull tools! Thank you!"
MegIndiana
"This has to be the most helpful, very-well paced and pertinent video yet for me. I have never picked up a sharpening tool, but I bought one from the Tool Merchant and can’t wait to use it. I think I have the confidence to do this now. Even though I didn’t have the tool in hand, I practiced the correct movement with you and that helped, too. Want to say thanks very much for your time and skills sharing."
CharleneTexas
"Thank you for a great tutorial. I’m a professional gardener and my tools need some care. I am excited to start the season with them restored."
AmyCalifornia
"As a professional weeder, who’s in the middle of de-rusting, sharpening and restoring my tools midwinter, this video was so inspiring. I hadn’t quite known how to apply the linseed oil and this helped. Keep making these!"
HopeAmherst, MA
"Very helpful with good explanation. Never heard of a spokeshave but definitely will purchase one soon. I had read about the boiled linseed from Tried and True but your video did an excellent job of explaining the differences. Now I’m off to work on my dozens of tool handles."

"I’m a newbie when it comes to gardening so this was really helpful for me. Thank you for sharing these great tips. Keep up the good work. Cheers"
