I ran out of the Oil that the kitchen manufacturer provided. The worktops need oiling, just not sure what type to use. Somebody suggested Linseed oil but I can't stand the smell of it!
Any ideas?

Have any of you brazed something like a bicycle or a bicycle trailer, that has to take a conciderable amount of abuse, using just a propane torch and the standard tip?

I have gotten metal red hot using just a propane torch and a standard tip (a tip that might be used to solder copper pipes together) , Whether that was hot enough to braze with is the question.

If propane is hot enough to braze with are there any tips you may have to reduce the amount of propane used and to strenghten the brazed area.

Someone I know claims 3 -$100 bills and a $20 bill were stolen fron her purse. Yet 1-$100 bill was left as she had all her money in the same place. Why would a thief leave the $100 bill? Why not take it all, the culprit took most of it anyway? This story seems suspect to me. But I'd like some other opinions.

the gate so that it doesn't lean on the top? We have tried adding support boards, reinforcing the hindges, and even lifting up the whole left side of the gate and drilling new holes. The left side is the problem side. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Web sites that have step by step instructions with video or at least pictures will be great. At the least, if we can't fix this ourselves because we aren't the "handy" type people...who would we call and about how much are we looking at to reinforce one side of the gate? Thanks.
