What have I been up to for the last couple weeks?  I have been learning clipper and shear sharpening.  I have also been setting up the clipper and shear sharpening area for Serenity Knives.  It is how the business is being expanded and I will be the one doing that expansion.  

People always have clippers and scissors that need to be sharpened so it made sense.  We already sharpen knives.  Everyone in the shop.  The sharpening experience I had made my learning how to sharpen different edged tools go fairly easily.  Not saying there was not a learning curve.  Maybe just not as steep.

I came back to having to setup the workspace.  And find all the little odds and ends that make it easier to do this type of work.  I sharpened the first clippers three days after being back.  Of course, what I had seen in the course was not only what came through the shop.

This was one of the clippers.  I had clippers and thinners that also came attached to the motors that ran them instead of being a blade that could be attached.  I never saw any of those in class.  But it is okay.  It was all the same concept.  But I kept thinking that I should have taken pictures as I was taking them apart.

I get to do this all again for the workspace when I set it up for mobile.  In shop and mobile are happening.  It is a good thing I like to be busy.
