Glad to hear you have it sorted I would agree with your findings re ply etc Although I find one batch of ply better than another for splintering

The term sledge hammer to crack a nut springs to mind ;-)

Thanks for that, I have been using white vinegar to good effect But after reading the various threads on restoration it seems most suggest rinsing the vinegar off thoroughly, I have done both and haven't noticed any difference myself So far waxing seems to be okay but time will tell

I haven't heard of that before, like a few other suggestion, not cheap is it I will keep it in mind though

Your question had me wondering what wattage mine was so went to find out ;-) I found its a Titan 350w And I find its powerful enough for my needs but I guess it depends upon your needs Looking at Screwfix who do Titan they have an Energer very similar to my Titan version (possibly the same...

So would I if it comes to that (use Argos over Aldi) The Argos one looks remarkably similar to mine, whose make evades me as I bought it 2nd hand for £20 The Aldi one is 500w, where the Argos one is 350w I haven't checked all the specs of both, the only thing I noticed is the Argos one has a...

Thanks for that, a little out of my league methinks ;-)

You lose the will after wading through that lot :-( I know we need regulation but .............

I hear what you say but every show abounds with puzzles and items clearly made for children As found in recent photos in these very forums I will have a look at that recipe just in case it might be useful I notice there are oodles of toy plans on that site but of course the USA has no such...

As I said originally, I knew some would scoff But I mention it for those who may find it useful No ones forced to buy one after all ;-)

I find one very useful for repetition which is my main use And will at least drill at or very close to 90 degrees, much better than drilling by hand

Seems a tad trite to blanket dismiss all pillar drills from two suppliers, just because the one you bought was a dud, particularly as the one you bought was from Lidl They may not be as good as something three times the price, but who in their right mind would expect them to be That...

Perhaps beggars can't be to choosy ;-) We can't all afford what we would like to buy so have to make do A cheap pillar drill is better than no pillar drill if you need one

Just for info Just had an email for a few bits and pieces at Aldi coming up The most significant being a 500w pillar drill at £60 with free delivery I know some will scoff at Aldi stuff but I have found them okay and with a three year warranty to boot

Many thanks These minor subjects do seem to be a minefield once you start exploring them don't they

Thank you Thats odd I have never come across a tin named just finishing oil I just thought it was a generic name for several different ones I should have googled it and found just as you say, such as Liberon Finishing Oil Many thanks

Many thanks for that, looks like lacquer might be the easiest Fogive my ignorance but what do they mean by "finishing oil" ?

Natural wood in the main What if I just left them as plain wood ? Are there are drawbacks to that

Thanks for that, I did look at this a little while back for something else Its just so expensive
