Juvy I had the same prob. with clogging nozzles and mentioned at the paint shop and they said to make sure the can is shaken well and keep shaking as it is used, I have had no probs. since, I just wipe the spray nozzle with my finger when finished and have not had a clog up since

Don't see the benefit of a foot switch unless the on off switch is not in easy reach

20mm Merlin, the boards are laminated and are around 50mm wide this helps prevent warping and cracking, people wont buy MDF unless it is painted and I ain't painting them

I got some DVD's from AWT and haven't bothered with then as, unfortunately in NZ you can not get scroll mags. or I have not seen them and if you could they would be about $18 each this why I have had to take subscriptions, the mag. I have had one subscription for is 4 a year and costs around NZ$48 for that I can buy 2 books of what I want

The only wood I wouldn't use is tantalized as it has arsenic in it, as for finishes most oils are OK and as paint I use poster or acrylic apint

Verses books??, I have come to the conclusion that it is wiser to buy a couple of books a year in preference to magazines, reasons buying books you can choose what you want out of what you are paying for, types of patterns, style of patterns and size.
With magazines you have  bits and pieces of everything, the 3 mags. I have received of a subscription  I have only seen some in the last edition that I may use, and it came late so will not use them until next year.
What are your thoughts on this?
