My friend John sent me a text the other day which read. My lovely wife (aka the Boss) is giving me a headache shes asked me to ask you to find  a new dining set or a better second hand one as she knows you deal in such things. The current one is quite scruffy on the top of the table. I text back to invite him round that afternoon we then hatched a plan to save him a a few quid and keep him out of the dog house

After a quick coffee we started work on the table top just a quick rub down and a clean up with some quick dry varnish it was ready to go back in his van

So he gets home and tells his wife he has another second hand table exatly the same as the old one but in better condition she was over the moon and none the wiser so the solution to this problems is find a good friend who knows how to put thinks right without the expensive price tag, and also keep the wife happy.
