Excellent - thank you John. Looks like a fine job to me

Actually, my suggestion of using an AG for rounding bench slats was
entirely serious.


Well given the tradition in the group, I needed to allow for the
possibility. :-)

Should I be ashamed that it was the first tool
that sprung to my mind, and would probably have been the tool I'd
have used?


No need to be ashamed - you can do surprisingly fine work with an AG -
especially with the wide range of abrasives, and polishing / finishing
discs and pads available these days.


Matty (from NZ) was quite the artist with an angle grinder.


Yeah, I was thinking of him when I wrote that, but am ashamed to say I
could not recall his name ("Matty F" IIRC now) at the time...

(sadly many of the images he posted have now expired on tinypic)
