Sixton, I have a pair few months now, seems durable time will tell but they're definitely very comfortable. I wore them for half days for a week to break them in then I could wear them all day after that no probs

That's very kind of you to check that Kinverkid, thank you very much!

Hi all, If you use yacht varnish indoors (in the workshop) is it true that it will not really dry?

Hi all, I remember years ago seeing someone having a modified metal lathe to turn wood bowls etc. I think it was a professional wood turner He basically took off the bed and had it as like a vb36 style lathe. Other modifications as well but I can't remember. It was a very big old metal...
