I Try Things - Episode 1: Sharpening a knife on a whetstone.

For those who may not know me well, or have yet to glean it off my web ramblings, I like to try a lot of things for myself.  I get a notion to do some thing... build guitar effect pedals from scratch, write a novel, dry age meat... and I dive into the research and process to do it.

I'm a firm believer that anything done by a human, we can do too.  We're human after all.

Above, find a video of what will hopefully be an ongoing (at some interval) series capturing my attempts at new endeavors.

This one is pretty straight forward.  I'm trying to sharpen a kitchen knife.  It's mostly me rambling and trying not to hurt myself.

Still, I think if I can master this skill it will be better than spending money on new knives.  Besides, once the zombies attack, there won't be too many folks making new knives anyway.
