He needs to wear a mask.

Why is he only wearing one glove?

Trimming the rug?

That blade reminds me of an Alaskan Ulu knife. https://imgur.com/YqEYnGx

Wish it was that easy to repair Son damaged carpet.
GracieLouiseBeantoe
Is it driving anybody else nuts that he doesn't finish the lines? You can still see sun faded rug when he stops at the end of each pile.
niko321
Look like a ulu
Ladygreenwood
Yes!
Zuphalas
This, however does not work the same for sunburns....can confirm.
WookieWookieWookie
I mean, it will cure the burn.
HieroGliffin
WeatherWiz
So they are scraping the top layer ?
StupidAutocorrect
I wonder if it will be even.
someVioletnight
using that tomahawk requires just one glove.

Look at the size of his left arm compared to his right. https://imgur.com/87VYhw1

I have the same problem... but for very different reasons...

Are you telling me there’s no machine that can handle larger areas?
Supahai91
Slower you slut
DarthWren
Is that an ulu?
Pizzzzzza
The shearing process doesn't hurt the carpet, and in the summertime is quite refreshing. The shavings will make a lovely sweater
rufisium
They grow back next season
TheDairyPope
I feel like this needs to be narrated by either Sir David Attenborough or Sir Patrick Stewart.

Or at least a part of a bit gag in Flying Circus.

Carpets are very sensitive creatures.
sleepyimgurian
How could the carpet possibly be even height after that?
gracemadagascar
Can someone do that to my feet?
Totallyscrewedinaustin
Yes. It's called a pedicure and it sounds like you need one
AxellTheDragon
Of course!

Carpet axe?? Where can one buy a carpet axe??
SatoriEnlightenment
At the Carpet Axe Store. (Duh!)
princessfawny
Looks like an ulu! Fascinating type of blade, found in many cultures, typically made for shaving or scraping. I love ulus!
ChristopherTallant
Sweet, thank you!

SuperNoobishDude
That's what I was thinking about when I saw it.
Machiavoriel
Why are you not wearing some kind of face mask with all that nasty old dust around?
Peptido
Because it's not harmful.
SamArt53
Because it’s probably being done in a 3rd world country that has no protections for workers. Also done the same here under the radar.
LostLocust
Maybe it's wet.
ABCDEFGUY
My thought exactly.
HumansAreAliensToFish
How many times can this be done before it needs to be replaced completely?
RonBurgundysGuns
Exactly 4 times
gotchasucka
Must depend on the material and thickness of the strands, but I'm guessing for rugs worth doing this to, just once, maybe twice.
Robvp
At least once
dangerousmelon
Well I did it to my ex-wife's face and could only do it the once so I think it's the same deal with the carpet.
lurkvoter
You scraped your ex-wife's face off?
Arenlor
Why do you think she's an ex?
lurkvoter
Fair point
Manfredjinsinjin
Like a wood floor, you only get to refinish a few times.
freezingpilot
My inlaid linoleum laughs at the idea of being damaged.
sakzeroone
Not if you water and fertilize it.
hamberglar

That's why you buy solid wood floors..... If you can afford it
lagavulin16
...and wood look tile for the peasants!
ebonybutterfree
Peasants and people with dogs...and people prone to dropping sharp-edged heavy items... repeatedly.
AgentCatherine
You should be able to get a few more times by soaking it in wood.

KnifeKnut
only if it is that cheap veneer shit.
bflobob2004
Or a car with single stage paint.
DirkNurple
What are you doing to your paint? Single stage is the way to go for older cars & new cars aren’t worth repainting.
bflobob2004
When you buff out single stage paint you are removing a layer of paint at every pass and there is only so much paint.
danporspam0
Having owned a flooring company... A good floor can be refinished hundreds of times
ThePiniestApple
Have you any advice for improving a wooden floor that has been stained by water? It’s my parents house and the floorboards aren’t raised 1/
ThePiniestApple
or more uneven because of it but there are just areas of discolouration and if there’s anything I can do to ameliorate it a bit before we 2/
ThePiniestApple
eventually manage to get someone round to sort it, I’d love to give it a go.
danporspam0
Without knowing the type of floor and being able to assess the nature of the damage i would only be able to offer little help ...
wotemer
a real wood floor is thick enough to be restored a lot of times.
ThomasThundersword
true, but eventually it wrongs out. esp when people fk up they can do a lot of damage when (refinishing) it (sad face)
FsImgur
If it's a fake wood floor I give it 0 times.
dangerousmelon
Your wood is thick enough to be restored lots of times.
Kangabear
Oohhhhhhh
treyryan3
Can confirm, my first hardwood floors were 1-5/8” thick. I’ve seen old farm houses with 2-1/4” thick floors.
JackYouMagnificentSoB
That's what she said

Your moms wood is thick enough to be restored lots of times! (Haha j/k:)

I restored my face this morning.
BeneGesseritConspiracyTheorist
That's what she said?
KismetCrew
If you keep it watered right, the top won't fade like that. You'll still have to shave it though, and it'll grow faster.

I love shaving things. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tI30Go8nPN8

it regrows, calm down.
soapydux
I’ve just ‘restored’ my bollocks
godskook
"restoring" typically means "putting into a state where it is indistinguishable from a newer version". If it's a thin shaving, this counts.
AsFarAsIKnow
less restoring and more hacking off the burnt bits but I'll take it
Kelazari
Gotta make sure you shave your carpet regularly...
WellBehavedZombie
a carpet mower?
lawlschool88
Yes, exactly, shaving is how you restore it, as this gif makes obvious
Contracepted
Yeah but only the sun damaged parts
RichardDragaLong
Which is restoring... right? Like sanding old hardwood to restore it? Maybe I’m dumb fuck I don’t know.
BESTtaylorINAUSTRALIA
Maybe?
RichardDragaLong
I am dumb, but maybe I’m wrong too.
Thranx
It's pretty destructive... where you can take of 1/16th to 1/8th of an inch of wood, you have to remove alot more of the carpet for this
WookieWookieWookie
Only the very top of the wood gets worn down though. The nasty carpet fibers would be deeper and need to be removed
Thranx
Yes, that was my point. Very small amount of removal on hardwood, and it can look good as new.
nomihs
Lmao, "maybe I'm dumbfuck".
RichardDragaLong
Told ya I’m dumb
theshinobi23
Ok. Ok. So that's what the first seashell is for, but what about the other 2? And why are they kept where toilet paper used to be?

It’s not just shaving. It actually requires a lot of skill to do this correctly
stehenallein
I understand it takes skill... but how is it not shaving?
ThePedro8161
It is. And that's how you restore it...
koopaya
He didn't say it wasn't shaving. He said it wasn't _just_ shaving.
Slashenaar
Ok, we get that it's skillful shaving, but if it isn't *just* shaving what else is it?

That is really cool how they scrape up all the dead photons of light from the Sun
tchoukiwalimou
it is not so obviously stupid in fact. "dead photon" energy are now "inside" the structure of altered by sun moleculs ...
BoogalooBadger
This reminds me of Calvin & Hobbs when the dad messes with Calvin's head with explanations about the world.
UnceTysFeeTimesAMady
I think it’s more about him not really knowing the truth and making up whatever he likes. Calvin’s imagination origins! :)
Rosfmmmhzdrozzley
Poor little guys. I keep the photons from my lamp in a jar. They go to sleep every time I turn the lamp off tho

lol are u stupid thats not how photons work, whats happening here is the carpet is shedding its skin so it can grow larger

Exactly, thats why we take them outside periodically and beat them, lest they grow too confident with their increased girth and take over

Heh girth.

Lol are u stupid that's not how carpets work whats happening here is he is painting the color back on to the carpet with the big metal brush

Please let these become the next "thing" for Imgur

Lol are u stupid he's obviously stabbing the carpet with the weird knife so it bleeds red

You are both idiots he's turning up the saturation with a high tech Photoshop tool
ElbowDeepInARat
Listen up ya stoopid goons he’s using a big eraser to remove the yellow color from the sun obviously
JayRodactyl
You can't, "Remove" yellow sun colors. Stupid. That white brush is a communication device that convinces it to change color.

Or they meant Deadlights, from "It" and other Stephen King stories.
