Prominent specialists and personalities share their tips.
For example, comedian and author Sam Smith suggests that you "Stock up on supplies to get that DIY project underway. Call up the old bandmates to practice some songs for a jam session. Lay the groundwork for future fun."

SharpAs Tool Tips

Pictured is a selection of scissors brought in for sharpening. These are made from cast steel, not cut from sheet steel—usually resulting in a more rigid, higher-quality tool.

Many people have old scissors like these lying around, and with a bit of reconditioning, they can deliver excellent value and performance once again.

If you have scissors, or any woodworking, metalworking, or gardening tools, knives, kitchen utensils, or other items needing sharpening or reconditioning, come and see me:
🔹 Redwood Market – Saturday mornings
🔹 Marlborough Farmers' Market – Sunday mornings
Or contact me directly at 027 444 5535.

Yesterday I went to the local police station and spoke to two helpful ladies. The noise has been identified and verified as coming from the gravel crushers at Renwick. One of the ladies lives at Renwick and she said that the description of the noise and the times it was heard was a perfect match to what she hears. What I find hard to understand is that out of the many, many people I spoke to only two ladies said they had heard a noise and yet I have heard it regularly and loudly every evening for months but no one else could hear it. I was given hearing aids 2 years ago because" my hearing was not good" but stopped using them last year as every thing was too loud and yet I could hear this noise so clearly. Nothing wrong with my hearing!
