Marcus will make it sharp!

Our 20 year old autistic son, Marcus has always been a perfectionist. He has a certain way of getting things done right, even if it would mean doing them again and again.

My wife and I would often encourage Marcus to pursue his interests. His passion is in 3D drawing using Solidworks and Sketchup. However, those jobs are hard to come by. He is currently taking a bakery course in Weltec. He enjoys it so much that we get endless supplies of his baking treats. Never mind he left his set of chef uniform on the bus last week – second time in a month. Certainly raising a special needs child is challenging yet fulfilling.

We would like Marcus to acquire several skill sets so he can be more independent and eventually seek a job for his future.

6 months ago, we bought a knife sharpening machine (Tormek T-8) since Marcus has a knack for sharpening knives. Marcus has been busy sharpening all the knives in our household, including the neighbours’ and our church friends’.

Now, Marcus wants to offer his knife sharpening services to the community. He believes a good sharp knife should cut a carrot with ease. So Marcus will make sure all sharpened knives will have to go through the “carrot” test.

$5 per knife
$7 per cleaver

The prices are below the market rate as we just want Marcus to enjoy doing what he does and also to meet the community. The money he earns will be another step for us to help him understand to manage his funds when he eventually gets a job.

Please PM me if you would like Marcus to sharpen your knives.
