If I become a cop (I want too) I'll give you one. I legit want to learn to do the sharpening, I can do everything but that. I just need the stuff to do it.

i have some quick easy rolling sharpeners that dont do much. i pretty much no how to tune, detune, wax, maintain, mount bindings etc, sharpening is not my thing. for rails it sucks anways. be careful with the metal scrappers, they can be really good, but can go bad real quick. can destroy your base/edges. i wud say just sharpen the plastic yourself with a grinder and stick with that. takes longer but no prob if you mess up. well when you become a cop ill hold that too you, ill expect my card in the mail with a nice little letter haha. until then ill just drive extra slow....

Yes sir you can count on it. My board is detuned, but I would like to work in a shop part time tuning boards and such. Free wax for me, and I'm paid for doing something I do easily.

hahaha so true. Super powdercoating = +300hp! lol

We all know Subaru's can't make power.

If you have the right tools sharpening is very easy. I have a directional file, just hold it on the edge and pull down. Then run a debur file to clean it up. I takes two minutes

I've been on like 4 to 5 hours of sleep a night since Saturday because the baby is wide awake as soon as 10 oclock rolls around. Someone remind me why I agreed to a second kid with the wife?

Pick up a sharpening tool for $5. Has the angles built in and all. This isn't the 80s when you have to eyeball it!
