Blade sharpening

Talliesin · 2005-08-05 11:19:25

Anyone know of somewhere around Dublin city centre I can get a blade sharpened. It's needs ground down a lot, not just a bit of work with a whetstone. Hardware shops used to do this for you, but the few I tried said they don't any more.

What type of blade.

Post it on the " Woodcraft " forum, and you will surely get a woodturner to grind it for you.

Don't know many woodturners in Dublin city centre though

If it's something you think you might be wanting to do more than once, it might pay you to get an el-cheapo 6" grinder from, say, McQuillans or Lenehans and do it yourself. Also comes in handy for garden shears, rotary lawnmower blades etc.
