The Heigner saphir. Probably the most resilient A5 clipper out there.

I’ve kept many going for over nine years, including this one, which is about to get a new case fitted.

At this point, they become a bit of a Triggers broom (Only fools and horses skit, see YouTube video below). This video always makes me chuckle.

Wide blade on Heiniger Opal clippers. Makes short work of clipping this long haired heather haggis.

Don’t think I’ll be going anywhere for the next couple of days if this snow doesn’t get cleared.

As my energy and motivation slowly returns, it’s time for a workshop refresh, starting with the old dull brown cupboards. They’ve been in this workshop for about 20 + years. Time for some new colours and space utilisation .

A place for everything, and everything in its place.

It's that time of year again. The garden needs trimmed, plants and hedges need pruned, leaves need blown and brushed up. There is something quite pleasing and calming about September and the onset of Autumn.

If your trimmers are in need of a sharpen to help get through the autumnal gardening, get in touch : phone, message, WhatsApp, and even good old fashioned pop round.

I think it’s time to replace the filter in my workshop air cleaner. Sharpening generates a lot of dust.

I don’t sharpen 24 x7, I make stuff as well. This weekend’s project is a new router table. And inevitably I will need to sharpen these router bits, so maybe I do sharpen 24 x7 !

Once in a while the “mission impossible” scissor comes into the workshop. A left handed, curved, cast scissors, with bent tips.

These don’t straighten using conventional thinking and methods ( they snap the tips ) so it was on on with the “thinking out of the box cap ”to get these repaired and cutting smoothly again for my client.

Job done.

This afternoon’s work.

It’s a little bit hot in the workshop today. The doors are wide open, the fan is on full bore, and the music on loud.

What a lovely summer’s day.
