HARLOW OLD AND NEW
|
Hidden within the new town, interesting ancient buildings survive. The old village has attractive Georgian houses in the High Street. The half-timbered Stafford Almshouses date from 1630; the Baptist Chapel from 1756; while the former chapel at Harlowbury has a 15th century kingpost roof. St Mary’s Church in the grounds of Mark Hall has Norman origins - and is well-filled with monuments and brasses. The remains of the 12th century Latton Priory - built for Augustinian Canons - have become part of a barn. Further south, at Netteswell, the church has a wooden Jacobean pulpit and poppy-headed bench ends. |

Take it to the edge - Using an edging sander effectively
Edge sanding is an essential skill when sanding and finishing floorboards. Pound for pound, the edge sander is the most powerful tool you'll handle when undertaking flooring restoration so it pays to know how to use it correctly.
Safety first
An edger uses disks rather than sheets of sandpaper, so start by installing your first grit with the edging machine turned off and unplugged. It's vital that you unplug the sander when you change the abrasive disk as the spinning wheel can cause serious injury, so never lay it on its side when the sander is running. Always use a mask and safety glasses when using this type of equipment as you're much closer to the surface of the sander, and hire dust free floor sanding equipment if possible.
Start your engine
The edge sander is a powerful beast, so you need to be the master of it before you hit the power switch. Straddle the machine and grasp the handles firmly, lifting the front of the machine clear of the floor - this is vital as you'll create gouges and sander swirl if you switch the machine on when in contact with the floorboards. Now quickly flip the switch and grasp the handle again as this machine can't be controlled one-handed.
Get sanding
Lower the machine into contact with the floor, using a firm grip as the torque can pull the machine sideways. Keep it moving at all times, otherwise, you'll create a depression in the floor, in any direction you like. Unlike the larger floor sander which must be used in one direction only, following the grain of the wood, an edge sander can be used in any direction you like.
Take it to the edge
When preparing your room for floor sanding, it pays to remove the skirting boards so you can work the edge sander right up to the edge of the room. This gives the most professional effect. The floor sanding machine usually gets within six inches of the wall, so you're aiming to remove the finish from your floorboards back to the raw wood in a strip this wide around the perimeter of your room.
Take a tip
• The edge sander will only work properly when both the disk and the wheels are in contact with the floor, so the edge sander isn't a good choice for sanding a staircase.
• You won't be able to get right into the corners of the room, so you'll need to use a scraper or palm sander to remove the finish from those areas.
