I got the same result with my new hacksaw. ;~)
Hacksaw? You're not a _real_ woodworker until you can do it with an
axe. ...and no cheatin' with a Festool axe.

You don't need a green axe, just some MDF and polishing compound.

I would have watched a video titled:
"Make Any Axe Razor Sharp In **90 Seconds** - No Skill Required

Except the video is 13 minutes long.
Just skip through it. I got the gist in under three minutes.


Or speed it up. Most YouTube videos can be speed-adjusted in
increments of .25, from .25x to 2x regular speed. Click the gear
at the bottom of the video window and choose Playback Speed.

I rarely watch a how-to video at less than 1.5x.


1x, 1,5x, 2x, or even 10x, 90% is wasted time on 100%. I guess no one
would watch a 60sec video. Or perhaps they're are all (out-of-the)
closet Norms.



I watch at regular speed and sometimes have to replay several times to
catch a particular detail, especially on software instruction.
If you speed up you may entirely miss a vital part.
