Own a Bit of Read Bros History

John and Andy are toasting the last of these special enamel mugs.
We’ve only got 5 left with the Read Bros logo on them. Once they’re gone, it’s plain enamel from then on.
Come and grab one while you still can — a little piece of Thames hardware history for your workshop, ute, or kitchen.

Andy’s Checking Out the Starrett Knife Set
Andy’s been having a good look at this Starrett 8-piece knife set.
It’s a solid professional set, and $5 from every one sold goes straight to the Prostate Cancer Foundation NZ. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in New Zealand men — getting checked is important, especially if you’re over 40 or have a family history. Don’t wait for symptoms.
Andy also reckons it’s worth remembering that a quick steel between proper sharpenings helps keep your edge working longer and makes the knife safer and easier to use day to day.
If you’re after a good set of knives (and want to support a worthwhile cause at the same time), pop in and have a look.

😂 Andy’s Wheelbarrow Expertise – Then & Now

You all liked the recent photo of Andy testing the Richmond wheelbarrow a bit too thoroughly… so he dug out some proof of his long-standing credentials.
24 years apart.
Same relaxed technique. Same grin.
Only difference is the dog (Whiskey) and a homemade ginger beer instead of the shop floor.
Some things never change.

Drop a comment if you’ve got any classic “before & after” work stories of your own — we’d love to see them!
