Just getting things level for some shelves. I use my laser all the time, curtain rails, pictures, shelves, tiles, and flooring. Never leave home without it! The lines self level so you only need to get it near straight. I used the plasterboard lifter to create a metal pole it can be magnetically coupled to at any height.

Sanding down some worktops this week and treating them with multiple coats of Danish oil to get a protected but natural look back to the wood. Always best to get in done before any significant water ingress occurs as once it gets too deep, there's only so much damage the Sanders can remove. These ones came up nicely though.

The finished shots from the bathroom. The customer was going to add their own new decals on the windows, so the old ones were left on for now. It is possible to see the slightly odd angle of the toilet and bath as the room was far from square. If you look closely, I build a small section at the bath of the bath where the over 90 degree angle along the back took it away from the wall. The projection of the toilet shows the true angle. Old houses always have these kinds of oddities. The customer was very happy with the finished result.
