I did have an imaginary girlfriend when I was young. God, she was ugly.

I have one of the above honing guides you can have for free. Probably a couple of quid postage to pay though. Message me if interested. If not, does anyone else want it?

I agree with Phil above. Find a method you're comfortable with, stick with it, improve it with time and practice.

This isn't really a 'fixed it' story, but a bargain all the same. Since having Neuropathy in the feet and fingertips, I find it difficult to hand-sew my leather projects. So, my sister gave/lent me her Singer Heavy Duty sewing machine. A couple of weeks ago, I picked one up from a car boot. It...

Can't see my Nova

I was just about to post this one too. The original was a reference to lanes 3 and 4 but non-UK possibly wouldn't see the 1 and 2 joke.

Since it's only the plating that is pitted you could use thinned Upol 1K Stopper. Scuff the surfaces, with a palm sander if you can and mix a dab of Upol with a tiny drop of Acetone and apply thinly. This will dry very quickly, probably in less than a minute due to the Acetone. Light sand with...
