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.

Ah, I see. Festool doesn't make axes. I guess it's an Axe Stop.

Just skip through it. I got the gist in under three minutes.
Summary:
Glue two pieces of MDF together to make a 1 1/2" slab.
Drill a hole in the middle the size of your grinder arbor.
Cut the MDF into a circle.
Mount it on your grinder.
Use lathe tools to give it final shape.
Coat the edge with the right grit of grinding/polishing compound.
Rough grind your axe blade.
Finish it on your MDF polishing wheel.

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

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.

I was talking specifically about woodworking and tool
comparison/operation. It's 29min of yakking and 1min showing the
whole point of the video.

OTOH, the video showing how to assemble my lathe had some good tricks
to deal with the weight though I ended up not using them. I have
chain and electric hoists in my shop that made it a whole lot easier.
One to lift each end.

Understood. Ron Paulk tends to be very wordy and draggy. Hes explains
minute details and changes to his system but gives a 15 minute preamble
to explain how and why. And the how and why is normally painfully obvious.

I know there are some pithy sayings about repeating yourself over and over again. But I can't remember them right now. And in your case about sermons, where you are concerned with God and Devil and Heaven and Hell and eternal bliss or damnation, it might make some sense to repeat the same thing three times.

I know there are some pithy sayings about repeating yourself over and over again. But I can't remember them right now. And in your case about sermons, where you are concerned with God and Devil and Heaven and Hell and eternal bliss or damnation, it might make some sense to repeat the same thing three times.

I got the one about "You tell 'em what you're gonna tell 'em, you tell
'em, and you tell 'em what you told 'em" from Staff Sergeant Herbert
Schmick, USMC. I have found it very sound advice.

It's not that you repead it over and over though, it's that you prep
them for the lesson, give the lesson, and then remind them of the key
points.

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.

I was talking specifically about woodworking and tool
comparison/operation. It's 29min of yakking and 1min showing the
whole point of the video.

Understood. Ron Paulk tends to be very wordy and draggy. Hes explains
minute details and changes to his system but gives a 15 minute preamble
to explain how and why. And the how and why is normally painfully obvious.

Three Parts of a Sermon, circa early 1900's

"In the first part I tell ’em what I am going to tell ’em; in the second part—well, I tell ’em;
in the third part I tell ’em what I’ve told ’em.”

That's the classical presentation/teaching strategy. The analogy for
teaching a skill is "tell, show, do". Tell them what they're going to
do, show them what to do, then have them do it.

Absolutely, some variation of that works. With some job I'd tell them,
show them watch them.
