I contacted him some years back as he mentioned the use of a "snot bar" in one of his youtube videos for prolonging the life of his disc sander wheels. He was most helpful the snot bar turned out to be an abrasive belt and disc cleaner which I purchased from www.axminster.co.uk - works a treat.
    I first saw the snot bar on one of his videos. Having tried it myself, I can't imagine using a sander without using the snot bar. They ought to include it as standard equipment with every sander sold.

    These are the ones we're talking about for anyone interested. Belt & Disc Cleaners : CARBA-TEC

    Andrew,
    Yes bought aircraft ply from the site you mentioned, found the chap there thoroughly helpful too!
    Also found some cheaper advertised by a company in Spalding called "Skycraft", however they didn't reply to emails so didn't get any business!
    I also get good quality interior grade birch ply from Illingworth Ingham who I believe have branches nation wide. The 3mm stuff is what I use most of and laminate parts up accordingly! Works for me!
    Yes, do recommend the "snot bar"!...... Work a treat!

    Chris.

    Some tools arrived yesterday. A big thanks to Brett for organising the group buy.

    I did my best to contain my excitement but I failed. I can now make a start on the cogs.

    Manufactured in Germany by Colt, they are a mix of HSS-M2 for the brad points and high alloy for the forstners.
