    Scroll saw cutting depths???

    thick old varnish- removal

    If you have a Dremel they work well at cleaning out carved lettering, paint stripper seems to work okay anytime Ive used it, they all take a bit of work and of course sanding, we stripped pine panelling 4 ft high all around a room a few years ago with a cheap hot air paint stripper, and that was...

    4.5 inch grinder

    I think any spanner will fit, just insert 1 pin and lever the other against the outside of the collar,,,I tend to just nip them by hand but we shouldn't according to my welding supplies chum, the disc suppliers say its the cause of shattered discs,,,I expect its quite spectacular if one did let rip!

    Wooden Archway in a wall

    Sorry about the pic and no text,,,that bit defeated me,,you could of course get structural engineers and building inspecters and no doubt many others,,,but they dont want to turn out for nothing and once you ask you invite them to say you cant do it,,,if you think its okay just get on with it...

    workshop lighting

    Just to echo the Colour Temp post above, in my opinion go for Warm White and as has been said, check that they really are towards the warmer range and not just the warmer side of Daylight, Daylight sounds great but is in reality very cold blue light that has the effect of washing out colour...
