In the video, a person is holding a metal rod with a ribbed end. The person is using a tool to shave off the ribbed end of the rod. The tool is being moved back and forth along the ribbed end, and the person is carefully removing the ribs. The metal rod appears to be silver in color, and the tool used is also silver. The person's hand is visible, and they are wearing a black glove. The background is blurry, but it seems to be an indoor setting.
