Looks the same as my Lidls mains one one, had it a couple of years and cant fault it, I got a thicker wheel from Fleabay and now does all my chains if required - bargain. I mounted mine on a scrap of 2 x 2 and just hold in the vice when using, works a treat.

Lots of 1/2 routers of Fleabay, and Bangood is pretty good for planer or flattening bits to suit

1/2" router as powerful as you can afford (2200w) as the bit is quite large and any small router will let the smoke out and a suitable "flattening" bit to suit, I got one off ebay I think, pretty reasonable, may be worth getting a couple if the price is right saves down time if it loses its edge.

One of the best sealants I have found beleive it or not is the thin brown parcel tape, seems to stick to most surfaces, a hot glue gun is a bonus to. Old lino or vinyl flooring is a good base with scrap wood sides glued and screwed around the boards then sealed. Some woods can be a problem with resin if they are oily as the resin doent stick to them well and can pull away, if the table is going to be opaque consider threaded rods to join the two boards together hidden in the resin.

If you want polyester resin I get if from ebay for about £40 for 5 kilos, Easy composites are good you need to work out what resin you need for the table, size, depth, open time polyester or acrylic etc. I always use polyester water clear casting resin and works well.

Simple garden benches are easy with minimal tools and always sell. Every one wants a rustic bench, these two were from an old conifer and gave me £100 back - result.

Moving house in the Spring and would like to have the drive and front lawn done with resin, this is supposedly porus and therefore doesnt need planning. Anyone done the same? any pointers or probelms? Will be using a contractor as do not have the time or equipment to do a decent job myself.

I use a smallish trailer behind the quad , the quad itself has a simple boat type hand winch and we have the same in the barn for preparing carcasses.

Forgot to add when I did mine I didnt use a spindle sander but found a router and rounding over bit sorted all the curves.
