    Isolation

    I'm lucky that I have my shop at home. My wife was telling me this should be easy for me, I have been practicing working in isolation for about 24 years now.

    WATCO Danish Oil

    WATCO not watch I bought a few gallons of Danish oil a few years ago, to finish some Norfolk Island Pine bowls, Ron Kent style. Hate it to turn something so wet, you had to wear a raincoat, and made a mess of everything. So, I gave up on that. Now I found a lost gallon in my shop. I want to use...
