    @macgyver5108 6 лет назад +14

    Nicely done! That mirror finish does do a couple things for the blade... For one, it slides through whatever you're cutting with less resistance making it cut MUCH better! Second is RUST! Rust only likes to form in pits in the metal, the mirror polish has very few if any pits so it's very rust resistant.

But I do have a paint can forge, grinder, drill press, and canola oil. Keep making the videos on the layman level. Great work.

      I've been guilty of such.
      I've learned so much, far much more from RUclips videos than school and college.
      Skills they just don't teach you and you need.
      Use the tools we have or can borrow to get the job done.
      I even learned locksmithing and making my own picks.
      Also hydroponic growing before it was cool in college and school.
      Locksmiths are a majority of rip off merchants, destroying the locks and replacing them when they could have just picked them.
      Even safes are simple to open if someone asked me.
