Hi Erose - First best bet would be Polish Reviver this should bring it back to almost new so long as the finish is not badly crazed or flaking. It should easily get rid of the water damage on the...

G'day Bazza

I have had a (slightly better than) cheap and nasty Taiwanese 3/4hp 14" for 17 years. It has done many thousands of hours work and the only problem I have ever had was with the...

Hi Shane

Ever seen a shaving come off a Symtec lathe. I'll warrant you haven't. If you know what woodturning is all about, I rest my case.

One of the claims to fame is that they are used by...

Hi Judy

I take it that your box has a bottom. If this is the case there should be no problem with the cuts not being the same depth so long as the strips you are cutting are the same width. As a...

If the money allows it I would buy 2 Japanese Water Stones, 1 a course to medium grit and the other a fine grit.

I think they are now available in double sided stones incorporating both the course...

Mark

I thought you said money was an option. Does this mean you have it to splash around. I took it to be that you were on a bit of a budget.

If the latter is the case then why not have a look...

Hi Mark

The stone or stones you own will depend on the tools you wish to sharpen. Chisels and plane blades etc. will require different sharpening stones to turning and carving tools.

I take it...

I wouldn't be putting Shellawax Cream over Danish Oil if it were me. Especially if the Danish Oil has been properly finished.

If you do put it over any oil make sure that the...
