[TheForge] OT deer

[Walter Mullett]

I just finished cutting up my deer from this year's hunt.  Last year, I
ground my meat with a hand cranked grinder.  Even though I stripped almost
all of the sinew out, I still had trouble with what was left wrapping around
the blades rather than being cut.

This year I had it done.  That was a rip.  The place said they charged $68
to skin, cut up and process a deer.  Since I had done most of that, I
thought it would be less.  Wrong.  They charged by the pound and it ended up
costing $70.

Looks like I'm going back to my hand grinder.  Has anyone sharpened the
"star" blades on one of these units?
