Miguel Louis Moniz came all the way from Ponta Delgado Azores for Scissor etc Training

Miguel arrived on Monday 30 December 2019 and stayed for two days of intensive training on the Wolff Industries Ookami OGS-TAS Scissor Sharpener. Incidentally the Azores are a three and a half hour flight towards the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Some 600kms from North East to South West (wide). Approximately nine islands , population of 245000 and is 1600 Kms west of mainland Portugal. Miguel had worked as an hairdresser in  the U.K. and Vancouver. He is a man with a tremendous grasp of scissoring.  Not surprising with his light touch he easily picked up the skills of servicing a Scissor- sharpening, Honing, balancing, tips alignment and fitting a new stopper. Miguel a really nice, intelligent man takes our Scissor machine and accessories back to Ponta Delgado in a couple of days. We wish him well. He was also trained how to sharpen dog, horse and vetinary clippers and Knives. So please people of the Azores support him- he will do a Professional job for you.

Happy New Year Senor Moniz

LAELAPS ,Swanland, East Yorkshire. JAMES MAY.Scissor and Clipper Blade Sharpening /servicing

Full permission to produce this “posting” which will be sent to Facebook was granted by my new valued customer Mr James May. On James’ s card it says “Service, sharpening and repair”  he needed to learn quickly from my company how to Sharpen and service Dog/Horse Clippers and the many types of scissors for Dog Groomers, Equestrian , Vetinarary + Hairdressers, Barbers, Hairdressers and etc. I say “quickly”  with reference to Horse Clippers especially because Horse Clipping season is about to start ( and last for the next six months). So we got down to it and James proved quickly why he is the Managing Director – a clever and dextrous man, quickly grasping all that I showed and described to him. We discussed the idiosyncrasies of different types of clippers – Andis V Öster V Wahl V Aesculaps etc and Titanium Scissors V Cobalt V Stainless Steel.  I am certain James will be a great success in this market. I ALWAYS SAY THE SAME TO trainees – Go home watch the training DVD’s and PRACTISE. PRACTISE PRACTISE. then  you won’t need me again. For anyone needing more information on this or other sharpening subjects please contact www.franklandgrinding.co.uk

VISIT BY MR.PIERS LAWRENCE

PIERS came up from Hemel Hempstead to purchase the Wolff Industries Ookami OGS-TAS Scissor Sharpener. His wife is a dog groomer and they had had enough of so called sharpeners ruining their Clippers and scissors. Consequently Piers brought with him six or so of his wife’s scissors and 8/9 clipper blades. Firstly before buying the Scissor machine he needed to see that our machine would effectively fully Service Mrs Lawrences’s scissors. After that was achieved Piers, although he could not buy it at the moment wanted me to show him how clipper blade sets are dismantled,cleaned,sharpened, cleaned, oiled and re-assembled.

After doing all this we tested all his equipment. They were perfect !,

 

A SECOND VISIT FROM JEFF MORRIS (Essex Sharpener)

Jeff was back with me after a period of absence-this time to Collect his Clipper Blade Sharpener and to have detailed, Professional in depth training. Some of the training had already been achieved  thanks to modern technology  and original thought by Frankland Grinding Products. When he arrived herewith his wife Jane he had been obliged to study the theory of sharpening and just as important : how to strip down clipper blades, how to clean them, sharpen , lubricate and reassemble and TEST them.

Jeff was obviously very keen to get this right and soon mastered the basics. We did several blades together and they tested perfect.

So we wish Jeff well in all his endeavours. People in Essex get in touch with Jeff ( of Dunmow, Essex) or contact Frankland Grinding for his telephone number.

Thank you Jeff for visiting Frankland Grinding Products. Maybe next time to learn Knife Grinding skills.

THINKING OF INVESTING IN A CLIPPER HONER/SHARPENING MACHINE

PLEASE READ THIS FIRST :

POSSIBLY THE BIGGEST SHARPENER OF CLIPPERS IN EUROPE SENT US AN E-MAIL TODAY ( THIS CUSTOMER USES TWO AF/CAN  HONING MACHINES DAILY)  IN WRITING THEY SAID THEY HAD SHARPENED SUCCESSFULLY 6500 CLIPPER BLADE SETS SETS ON ONE OF OUR MACHINES. THIS IS VARIFIABLE. THE PLATE STILL HAD LIFE IN IT TO DO MORE BLADES.

MOST CLIPPER HONING MACHINES DO UP TO 500 Blade sets PER SIDE OF A DOUBLE SIDED HONING MACHINE.

RECEIVED-ANOTHER CALL TODAY FROM A MAN WHO USES ANOTHER MAKE OF MACHINE: HE WITNESSED OUR  MACHINE DO A BLADE  TO PERFECTION

IN 20 SECONDS- HIS MACHINE TAKES APPROXIMATELY THREE MINUTES TO DO THE SAME JOB.

DO YOU  WANT VALUE FOR MONEY ????

JEFFREY MORRIS”. Tozon, High Roding, Dunmow Essex

Jeffrey Morris who formerly sold protective clothing and steel toe cap safety shoes ( still does)  could see in Essex a lack of people who can Service /Sharpen Professional Scissors- right and left handed plus thinning scissors/ texturising scissors etc. So Jeffrey drove the 200  miles or so to FRANKLAND GRINDING PRODUCTS ,Accrington to have Professional Training with Arthur Frankland. One day of more or less five hours of theory and Practise and Jeff had learnt the basics. He brought some blunt scissors with him. Later we serviced them.

Of course Jeff gave Arthur permission (GDPR)  to print this article. We now hope as a result of this that Essex people will now become aware of Jeff’s New facility.
