In this episode, part 2 of a 2 episode series, I go more in-depth about what you need to keep a Sparx working, and what are some nice-to-haves to get a better sharpening. I discuss the issues I've had with my machine and how I've resolved and worked around them.  After that it's time for some Beer Leaguer math to help decide if you can break even sharpening your own skates. Then it's looking around at what issues other people have with their Sparx, and is there any way to fix them? Finally you get my thoughts on if owning a Sparx has been worth it to me and if I would buy it again.Sparx sharpenersWatch the entire video podcastText the showhttp://thebeerleaguer.comhttps://thebeerleaguer.buzzsprout.comhttps://www.instagram.com/thebeerleaguer/https://linktr.ee/beerleaguerMusic by RomaRecord1973 via Pixabay
