So once again I need to consult the Oracle that is THF. I had another attempt at the stove tool over the weekend with varying degrees of success....
Thanks Jason. Loving your Heath-Robinson buffer! That looks fantastic. That sanding belt would have been perfect for my plaques.
Cheers David. When you say "buffer" are you referring to those bench mounted, spinney things?! Along these lines ......
So, I am pretty much finished with these as they stand ... [ATTACH] They have been sanded and polished solely by hand. Besides my dremel (which,...
Looks fantastic chap. Very nice! Octopi happen to be my favourite sea animal ... amazing creatures. :)
Hi and welcome. I don't get the time to spend melting metal that I would like but I manage to fit it in and around everything else. I've been...
