Who knows things about tin snips? Restoring some.
I have inherited a heap of vintage tin snips. Mainly Gilbow, English made, 'vintage' (AKA much older than me- probably 1960's)
I've buffed off the surface rust and any remains of paint from the handles.
What's the story with sharpening? what angle, how, any guidelines for adjusting tension the cutting blades? Some are rivet hinge, a few have the old nut and bolt trick.
