A transformation worth seeing 🪓

This axe came to us looking like it had definitely seen better days… but there was still plenty of life left in it.

A bit of time, care and restoration later, and look at the difference.

This is exactly why we love restoring old tools. Sometimes they don’t need replacing; they just need a bit of attention.

Got an old axe or tool sitting in the shed? Bring it into The Ark and let’s see what we can do with it.

The Ark gets top marks when it comes to sharpening 🔪⭐

Thank you for all the feedback on our last sharpening video! We took it on board and made this one a little longer, with a bit more detail so you can actually see the process.

This time, we’re putting an old knife through its paces and bringing that edge back.

Have a watch and let us know what you think!

If you’ve got a knife or tool that’s seen better days, bring it into The Ark and we’ll see what we can do.

A little edge restoration at The Ark 🪓

Taking this axe from dull and worn back to a clean, sharp edge.

If you’ve got an old axe, knife, hatchet, shears or other tool that needs bringing back to life, bring it in and we’ll take a look.

Sharpening available at The Ark.

New in at The Ark 🌸

We’ve got these new blocks in bloom light-up flower sets at the moment, along with other LEGO and model kits.

Nice as a gift, or just something fun to sit down, chill and make.

Pop in tomorrow and have a look!

We don’t talk about our jewellery enough… so here’s a little reminder 👀✨

We’ve got a lovely selection in at The Ark, with plenty more tucked away along the side and inside the cabinet.

There are all sorts of different pieces to discover, so it’s definitely worth having a proper look rather than just a quick glance as you pass by.

If you’re around this week, pop in, have a browse and see if something catches your eye. 💍

A proper piece of wartime history just in at The Ark 🇬🇧

This Elwell Universal Axe was issued to the Home Guard and is stamped “CD” for Civil Defence, 1940.

What makes this one particularly nice is that it’s all original . This is exactly the sort of piece we love getting through the door. Plenty of age and character, with its wartime markings still there to tell its story.

A great find for anyone interested in WWII, Home Guard memorabilia, military tools or British history.

Available now at The Ark. Pop in for a closer look or drop us a message if you’re interested.
