Free Knife Sharpening Workshop in Grey Lynn
Auckland Library of Tools in collaboration with Repair Cafe Aotearoa are excited to bring you the next in a series of repair and maintenance workshops every first Thursday of the month at Hackland Makerspace, just behind ALoT!
Thursday September 5 will be a free hands-on knife sharpening workshop! So gather up your dull knives and come on by to sharpen your skills and your knives with us.
Swap knowledge, tips and tricks, stories, and elbow grease with your neighbour and improve your skills, while extending the cutting lives of your knives. Bring appropriate tools if you have them, or use the tools available in house. There will be nibbles and tea on hand, but contributions of food and beverage are very welcome. The vibe is relaxed, and social. Teens are welcome to participate, with an accompanying adult. We also have a play area for kids and there will be a couple of toddlers around as playmates!
RSVP appreciated. There will be a brief introduction and meet and greet at 6pm followed by a knife sharpening demonstration. Then our sharpener will assist guests with the sharpening of their own knives. Going to be late? No problem! Late-comers welcome.
Getting here:
Bus stops on Ponsonby Rd (InnerLink, 20, 105, 106, 866), Great North Rd (11T/W, 18, 20, 195), and Karangahape Rd (WX1)
We are also near the northwestern cycleway.
Limited free parking is available next door or on side streets. There is no parking in front of ALoT/Hackland.
These workshops are part of the Repair & Share project, a weekly repair cafe hosted by ALoT, RCANZ, and Hackland and supported by Auckland Council.

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?
Luckily self-checkout is pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?
What are your thoughts? Is that rude?
Share in the comments below if this has ever happened to you.
-
53.4% Yes!
-
43.9% Nah, it's okay
-
2.6% Other - I'll share below!
