Well Alex, today was a bit of a trial to be honest.

Uncle Vic, a keen woodturner, gave Cheryle and I some money as a wedding present and said to treat ourselves to something. I decided with my half I would treat myself to a mandrel saver that I've been reading so much about on the forum and some of the Hut finishes. Seemed apt really. :wink:

So this was the first time use of the mandrel saver, which I love, and they are finished with the PPP finishing sticks.

Two coats of shallack sanding sealer denibbed with the finest micromesh pad, then the brown PPP stick, then the white. I'm pleased with the finish considering how quick it is and the fact it didn't dissolve my nasal hair!

[QUOTE="naxie, post: 28208, member: 105"] Well Alex, today was a bit of a trial to be honest.
