I have long handled garden border edging shears and want to have them sharpened. I think Fiskars in South Wales used to offer some service like this- do they still do it. Thank youHugh

Any garden machinery shop should be able to advise - check yellow pages - however...

It's a very simple DIY task - clean blades - buy a sharpening oilstone - dress the sloping edges with the stone - lightly (very lightly) remove any burr from the interior, mating-edges - drop of oil - tighten pivot if necessary.

You do not necessarily need a powered wheel like the guy in the video - hand shrpening just take a little longer.

Good luck...
