Machetes

So in scouts we decided a few months ago that we were going to make machetes, so we did

this is a picture from a few weeks ago of my machete
Here I am trying to sharpen it with a file (since then I have sharpened it with a grinder and it is actually sharp)
This is my scoutmaster's machete, he plans to actually use it on his many woodsman expeditions

It's all been very fun to make these machetes, and we are still working on them. This Tuesday we will be putting the wooden handles and then we should be just about finished

Here is a video I found on youtube that talks about making machetes
p.s. I haven't seen this video



This blog post also just got me communications merit badge so thank you
