Safety advice:

Ironically, using a poorly sharpened tool is dangerous as it requires twice as much energy and quickly tires you out: learning how to sharpen a tool and doing so regularly is essential. Their use requires calm and common sense, positioning oneself in a way that if the blade slips or bounces, it does not end up hitting the operator. Do not strike a hatchet or axe with a sledgehammer or hammer as there is a risk of metal splintering and tool breakage. Wear goggles, gloves, and protective clothing.
