After spending almost two hours on this, I was beginning to understand why people referred to is as “grinding.” It described it perfectly in every way, the noise, the effort, the repetition, the thought of not being done yet. Definitely grinding, as I slid the sharpening stone down the length of the axe head for another pass. The scraping of stone on metal reverberated about the barn again, much louder than I would have liked.
