If you have the time, it’s great fun. As for me as a gardener Makita long reach hedge trimmer is unmatched. Off me pop 🤭👍💪🙏🌻

Great Video ❤

Close those shears and look between the two blades. If you see daylight one or both blades are bent and no amount of sharpening will help.

❤. Thankyou.

Clear instruction with added explanation giving reasons why you do what you do. Thank you.

Thank you Christine, fabulous video 🌱🌺

Thanks, just the advice I needed- think ours must be about 30 years old and so neglected. Time to tackle it with your help!

Nice demo

Thanks for your video. Really helpful. I now have a pair of sharpened shears, ready for action

Thank you for this video. I just tried sharpening garden shears for the first time in my life.

Thank you😊👍

As less n less good hand tools (reliable, good mat'l, and last a long time) along w the other merchandise at Lowes, HmD, Ace H/W, Autozone, Amazon, Walmrt, etc. become available w China monopoly, it is good to maintain esp. the old USA made hand tools. If one breaks, it is best 2 repair it if u can. Dat's what i did w 1960 made professional gardener's shear w wooden handles w metal enforcement at the handle butts and where the wd meets the iron up front of the hndl. I made a mistake by removing the pivot carriage bolt which has a square collar under the pan head to grind the blade bevels. That went fine. But i installed the bolt from the wrong blade bottom. The pan head should of been coming thru the bottom blade w the nut on the top blade. The bolt went in in a slight angle, not vertical and now, i can't get it out after sledge hammering to do so. The bolt at the square had expanded. I need to do a big surgery to remove that dud bolt. The carriage bolt was measured 2B 3/8"-16TPI x 3/4"L . I've found an equivalent bolt at Tractor Supply but the square portion isn't long nuf. I dink (think) the new bolt's 1/4"T sqr s/b fine as it fits the 1/2"sq hole once i get the original damaged bolt off. I can shim washers betwn the blades to take up the gap so the blades will mate well for the cutting oprn. Anyway, just follow Chris's steps to sharpen it w a hand file n stones. No need to use a grind wheel as i did though it'll b faster but risking not being able 2 put the blades back. It was EZr to separate the blades to face it onto the wheels but never again!!! That paper shear test to find where the blades r nut (not) up to par is excellent. On contrary to datttoo, i developed a liking to use the blade (blades closed) tip to dig out the deep DandyLion roots. Bad practice. But it works better than those anemic short weed puller w a narrow stem on pact soil. This method saved me from walking bk 2 the shed 2 bring out a shovel or a pick or whatever u call it. Oh, don't buy corded elec. shears. U'll end up cutting the cord and b lucky not getting a shock. No using datttto during rain. Get a powerful battery one w a spare batt. Make sure it can cut 1/2D branch. And, keep dat manual shear handy for a little job. Always wear gloves when using the latter as it'll cushion the harsh blade snaps against the hard branches w hard blade handles. Keep ur garden trimmed n beautiful. And, let the mosquitos inside. They need to vamp too. I wonder what 'good' do these pests (considered by humans) do for mother nature???

You are delightful

can u turn the picture around?

Goody goody🙏

Just buy an electric trimmer

Excelente video 👍

Nice video and info...Many Thanks

Why video taken in fastest motion?

Such a useful utube, thank you

How long did it take you?

This video helps a lot but unfortunately it takes a lot of time, especially when your on a time limit at work. I’ll keep this video in mind when trying to teach someone 😊

I just can't get the right grip and struggling with strength holding the two items ... been at it fir half hour and still nowhere near to even crimping a piece of paper nevermind slicing it 🙃

Thank you, brilliant, well explained.

Hi brilliant video, just what I needed. Thank You

Nice video

Great video! I sent this to my sister to show her how easy trimming hedges was. Thank you!

Feel like I’ve had help from my friend 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Thank you Christine 👍🏼

You go girl! I watched like 4 videos prior to yours. And now I get it, thanks to you love. Straight forward is all I wanted, I wasn’t tryin to buy theirs ya know..lol. Thanks.

Shears are moving slightly as you sharpen the beveled side. Might be better to have them held securely in vice etc to ensure a constant bevel.

Brilliant video!!! My Dad always did my shears and since he passed away I had no idea what to do!!! Thank you so much!!!
