        I can remember the days of travelling knife, shears, lawnmower, etc. sharpeners (probably more my parent's generation who used them), but wonder these days just how many people would simply chuck stuff away when it's blunt, although I regularly sharpen our chainsaws, shears, pruners, knives, axes, chisels, wood planes, scissors, lawnmowers, etc.

            The people that throw things away lose out on one thing. The sheer satisfaction of taking something and putting it back into perfect working order.

                  I stumbled upon this on YouTube. I wasn't particularly looking for it (you know how youtube suggests stuff based on your past viewing habits).

                  It perfectly illustrates what I meant by the open hand to the face.
