Pretty quiet around here. Curious as to what everyone uses for a finish coat for lathe turned spindles? Lots of time I use stuff called Speed-ez.....from England I think. Bought a bottle some years back as a WW show and still have most left. A little goes a long way.

Nice thing about MLCS is that there is always free shipping, even when you buy a $5 router bit. Sometimes the shipping/handling costs stop me from purchasing at other sites when I only need something small.
No denying they are convenient but after a few years the batteries are done for. When you look at the cost of replacement batteries, you might as well buy a new tool. For that reason, I keep my corded tools and a few heavy duty long extension cords. 99% of the time, I don't require a battery...
