No, just on heat only. The wet cloth, folded about four times, was pressed against the beech with the iron providing the heat on top of the cloth. I was stunned at how quickly the ding went.

Edit: the beech had not yet been varnished or oiled so the steam could do its thing easily. With a finish on the wood, I think could have been more messy. Probably best to sand it down to bare wood. I only discovered the idea from a very old copy of Fine Woodworking magazine last night. I'm no expert. Good fun though. I've been searching for dings all over the house.


Sad, I know.

Next on the shopping list, a steam cleaner?

I already have a £20 wallpaper stripper which I did actually consider using on my little ding (@Fnaar).....and then thought...."get a grip". An iron and a J cloth was far less of a faff. Less "epic", but really easy.

I have been trying to turn my laptop on and the little pointer arrow is wandering all over the screen !
I switched it off and back on again and noticed the it proudly displayed the make of computer with the phrase ." Explore beyond limits ".
I wish I could change the last word to " Hope " !

Does it do anything else? Sometimes that brand freezes on that screen.

here.

So tucked up watching the BTCC and the Commonwealth Games on the TV and laptop respectively.

Just watched a banging 40k men's points race - wow, serious chapeau to Mark Stewart and Ethan Hayter, that was amazing. Don't often get to see Cameron Meyer finish a points race empty-handed.

Had tea and fruit loaf for breakfast. Now getting the munchies, so starting to think about lunch...

[QUOTE 5207545, member: 21629"]The joy of being a woman with wide size 8 feet is an ability to buy mens trainers (and cycling shoes...). I needed black running ones (don't get too excited - they're for work). Local Sports Direct has about 10 pairs of women running trainers (only 2 were black) and probably 10x more of men ones, most of them black.[/QUOTE]

I'm the other way round and have size 4 plates of meat, so kiddies sizes do me ok for a lot of things. Means I can go for boys' footwear if I don't want overloads of pink and purple.

OK, I don't mind pink, but it has to be subtle, not in-your-face.
