Is your chainsaw chain worn out after accidentally hitting rocks; uneven sharpening in the field making saw cutting sideways while trying a straight cut in a log?

If so,maybe It's time for a professional chainsaw chain sharpening to bring each right and left tooth sharp at the same cutting angle and length, also checking/correcting the depth gauge to get your chain ready for the job at hand.

Bring it in here at home - 53 Petersfield Crt, Sydney or drop it off at our table at the Sydney Public Market on Saturdays open from 10am to 2pm.

We will do the work and return your chain(s) in "like new" condition. At a $12 rate per chain it is a fraction of the cost of a new chain.

Make sense isn't it?

There is no Sydney Market this Saturday October 3rd. NSCC need the place. The alternative is to bring your items to be sharpened here at home for service. I'll be home all day.
Home is at 53 Petersfield Crt in Westmount.

Just got the OK to set up "shop" at the Sydney Public Market - NSCC Campus - starting this Saturday Sept. 26th.

Being our first time there, the plan is to do knife sharpening and collect items to be sharpened at home such as gardening tools, woodworking tools i.e. circular saw blades, chisels, planer blades; etc.

Items brought home for sharpening will be returned the following weekend or be available for pick up at home during the week.

Looking forward to see you there!

Spread the word!

Since May/June we were kept busy mostly sharpening garden tools, lawnmower blades and, of course, knives.
Returning customers as well as tens of new people prised our sharpening service in the past few months and made us proud in doing what we do.
Yes, you can drop off your items at anytime here at home - 53 Petersfield Crt in Westmount.. Pick up is usually possible within the following 24 hours or even less.
See you soon!

A warm welcome to the new "followers" of Jacques Couteaux.

Spring has been busy sharpening an assortment of garden tools such as lawnmower blades, loppers, edge shears, pruners and such along with the regular items, knives, circular saw blades and scissors.

Through word-of-mouth, the clientele is building up steadily which leaves me time to enjoy a lively retirement to the best.
