    Not seen this before but a Youtube video of refurbishing a Fobco Star drill. Thought it maybe of interest as there have been a few posts recently (also I have a bench top version which needs a sprucing up session). Fobco Star refurbishment

    Kitchen knives advice

    Has anyone any advice on decent kitchen knives - we have a mish mash of old ones which dont seem to keep a sharp edge despite using wooden or 'plastic' cutting boards.
