I have a couple of old airguns, left over from my youth - how would I sell them in this day & age as the gun shop I bought one from has long since gone? FWIW they're a somewhat sad BSA Cadet of some vintage & a BSA Mercury that I bought as a teenager in the 80's. I refurbished the innards of...

How do you differentiate between the DIY & Pro ranges? Thanks

GarF Thanks. Will investigate those. I'm planning to remove the original coating.

Hello. I'm looking at re-lacquering a friend's yacht cabin floor. It is "teak and holly" veneered plywood - similar to the photo attached. It is widely held that the manufacturer used Morrell's lacquer. However I rang them recently and the chap I spoke to wasn't able to contribute to that. He...

Hello, I have a sideboard that we started to strip a number of years (6?) ago. Those stripped parts have already darkened considerably . I was hoping that we may be able to bleach the oak to make the whole thing lighter as it would be too dark for our house. I'm not sure what is achievable...
