    Been waiting for you to finish this one for a while, it looks great to me, well done

    You'll have to bring it to the BBQ so we can have a decent look at it.

    I don't think it will pass a close inspection. But oh well. I'm pretty happy with it for a third box.

    Default Shellac and Gleu (that's French for Glue)

    .
    Ummmmm being the legend of world renoun that I am... I have discovered that HIDE GLUE does not stick to shellac.

    The shellac can be sanded through with a coarse cutting no fill sand paper, but....

    I have not tried bonding any other glue types to the shellac - but my initial "educated guess" is that it probably won't work - or work very well.

    If the parts are small enough to be stuck in a sealable container, then a good soak in metho will take all the shellac out of the grain - eventually.

    What I did was finish th box with shellac, then drill the holes. With the finials I finished them on the lathe with white shellac then parted them off soo their ends were bare wood. They were then epoxied into their holes with 5 minute araldite cos I didn't want to stand there for 24 hours holding the loose ones till they set. There are a few spots where excess epoxy is squished out. I might fiddle with it to see if it comes off the shellac, if I get around toit.

    I think I've decided I like REALLY TINY things and REALLY BIG things. Had an enjoyable day turning some red gum firewood into tiny bowls.

    I can see bits of box in there. You cheating and skimping on the finials, eh, TL?

    Definitely different.
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    Oh no! I've been discovered. When I made the second box I only drilled 40 holes. So I'v got 8 more finials I couldn't fit on.
