I keep being tempted by the current Screwfix headline offer on the Ryobi 18V drills. This one. I know the Li-ion packs are available and there are newer lime-green drills but for this price it looks like a good upgrade for my DIY use. The more branded solutions would probably be overkill for...

A lot of people seem to have had good results with Patina. Am I correct in thinking it goes on easily and gives a tough finish? I need to put a finish on an under-desk storage cart in Pine veneered MDF and a Pine fire surround (that I spent ages sanding back from gastly). We favour a low...
