Thanks cliff....was actually funny...can't solder it though. :)
This drill bit...bugger... ???????

I love your dedication.

I honestly would implore you to...
If you want earth and natural timber stains the Proof tint range from Feast Watson that you can get from the Big Green Shed work well. Otherwise I have had great results from Angelus leather dyes.

Yes you can.
It took me a long time to find a method and products that works well for me. I have done Tru oil, wipe on polyurethane, spray paint, wipe on oils and waxes, and then I found aerosol...
