1192917 2011-04-08 05:05:00 What young person of today would know how to sole and heel a pair of shoes ? But then, who has even seen a pair of leather soled shoes in the last 30/40 odd years ? :clap

Technology changes.

However when I tried to get some carbon brushes for a couple of B&D drills and a Skill electric chain saw from Mitre10, I found they didn't stock any sort of spares anyway, not even for the makes they sold.

I thought they'd have had brushes for the models they sold which I could have adapted to fit, but no, I had to make a journey to a power tool centre in Lower Hutt.

The key cutter places repair shoes.

I'm going to have a go at making my own tea. Not exactly a repair, but it is DIY.

My Uncle could shoe a horse but none of his son's could.

That's just a rumour - what sort of plant would grow wee bags with dead stuff in 'em?
