what is the best thing to use/ method for sharpening garden tools?
I've been given a few things: axe, shears, lawn edging shears, all of which are old, but seem like good quality (using the old method of judging ie. big and heavy!)
Is there a special tool, stone, etc. or is it better to just wait for a door-to-door- bloke with a grinder to come calling. I was saw someone take of a lawnmower blade, put it in a vice and use a reguler file on it. Think I could manage that, but does it do a decent job?
