Fast Way to Sharpen & Maintain an Axe & Maul HD

Fast Way to Sharpen & Maintain an Axe & Maul. Sharpening an axe or maul can be quick and easy if you use a large grinder with a 7 inch grinding wheel. Here I clamp down the grinder to a steel table and then carefully run the axe face across the grinder at a specific angle. Some people will argue to only use a sharpening stone to sharpen an axe. It is a lot easier and faster to sharpen using a grinder. You will not take off too much steel when using a grinder when sharpening an axe,i your are careful,use light pressure while sharpening and pay attention to the angle that you are sharpening the axe at. Here I also clean the rust off the tools and use a special rusty metal primer and paint to preserve the tools and protect the tools from rust.
