What happens here

After sharpening, the shovel will have a distinct, clean edge, but it should not be razor-sharp. The instructor demonstrates the improved performance by easily digging into a pile of dirt, showing how the sharpened edge cuts through the soil "way better" than before. He concludes by stating that sharpening a shovel helps save your back by making digging easier and more efficient.

Goal: Verify the improved digging performance and appreciate the benefits of a sharpened shovel

And just like that, you want to put a nice edge on the shovel, but you don't want to raise the sharpen. You're not trying to shave your face with it, just break up some dirt. Let's go try it out. Just like that, we're chopping through dirt way better than we were before. Sharpening your shovel saves your back. Anyways, I got stuff to do, obviously. I'll catch you guys later. Peace.
