Why not just do it yourself? it's not rocket science!

JJ when you say a service, what do you want doing to it as a basic service will take you about 10 mins to do yourself. Standard service is Just a case of stripping it back, cleaning and re-lubing. Really simple job that you can do yourself mate. Just need to give it a rinse under the tap to remove the grit/sand, drop the break blocks into lighter fluid to give them a clean and then put it all back together adding some rocket fuel to the bearings to mae it run sweet.

hi guys id love to have a go myself but due to running my right hand through a table saw in feb my fingers wont allow me lol so looking to find somewhere to get it done local if possible.

OUCH!! My old metalwork teacher used to always say "Use one hand with these things , then you can pick your fingers up when you get it wrong." . He had a knack of getting the important stuff ovre in a way you'd remember, good teacher. Oh and he was from the "real" world not straight out of college. makes a difference I think.

To stop me being accused of starting a flame war with teachers on the forum.
I appreciate that people do a great job out of college too, it's just that I think if you teach a subject (take IT related skills for example), it helps if you see how it works for real .

I am certainly not having a "go".

For the record I doubt I would have the patiance to do the job, so teachers,on the whole, do have my respect.
