What happens here

The video introduces the project of sharpening lawn mower blades. The creator showcases the three main tools that can be used for this task: an angle grinder with a grinding disc, a bench grinder (specifically mentioning one from Harbor Freight), and a file. The main objective is to maintain the blade's original factory angle during sharpening. It's noted that if blades have deep nicks or gouges, they might need replacement rather than just sharpening.
