1. I've seen a few interesting things listed on Lifehacker for Jailbroken iPads but they are few and far between.
  2. Gah, lawn mower maintenance Dirty, dirty job.

  3. Technology Topic

    Just kidding. I actually like that kind of dirty jobs. I like fiddling with all kind of machines, and a lawn mower, a toaster or a hoover is no different.

    Ahem It's got wires, therefore it's technology.I don't know whether it's worth the effort sharpening the blade or just buying a new one. Thing is, I don't have the tools to sharpen it so I either spend money getting the tools or spend money getting the blade. If its the latter, the same problem will occur further down the line unless I buy a new blade then buy the tools to keep the new one in good shape.

    Ever since getting addicted to American Restoration, I want to take everything apart and do it myself
  5. New or used lawn mowers are pretty cheap anyway

    Hardware store I used to work at used to sharpen lawn mower blades for like 4 dollars
  7. Hmm..you'd be hard pressed to find an independent hardware store that would offer that service around here. There's one local to my parents that I did work experience at (don't ask) but I don't think they sharpened lawn mower blades. Suppose I could always ask. It seems a simple task, I would just need to find a file. Not sure how time consuming it'd be though.

    Sergio, found a new blade for £13. A new mower, with a collection system would be kicking around the £50+.

    I think I'll head up to that hardware store see if they'll do it.

    Any alternatives for those who don't want a cow and don't really drink much milk?
