    Smith and Rodger

    Having just had new windows fitted (triple glazed, argon filled, carbon fibre infills) I decided to finish the wood trims off with hard wax oil. I booked a day off work to do it and discovered, the day before that I'd only got the dregs of a tin left - duuuuh :oops: An on-line order to Smith...

    Turners Toolbox.

    I've just received my first order from this company. Due to a foul up in the GPO it took over 2 weeks to arrive. In spite of me telling them that I was in no hurry for the order they added a pack of pen kits FOC. A small thing but very good customer relations.

So my thoughts are budget limited but I feel I need a bed of at least 36", variable speed (without b£"&*(&$g about with pulleys and belts), industry normal...
