Finished CNC work and got an hour sanding in. Still quite a few hours sanding to go but the concept is more evident...

Managed some progress last weekend and over a few late nights.

There's going to be 3 legs, thought a centre support would be useful given this is 2400 long (and there's a 3 year old climber in the...

Thanks Midnight Man :)

Yes this method yields a gloss finish, I really like matte but the waterproofing aspect is (obviously) critical.

And yep, Bote-Cote do a non-yellowing epoxy... so in...

Hi Bob...
Thank you for the kind words, we love all of our products and choose them carefully.
I have not physically seen a KM-2 as yet. The information I have also states the same... same...

Managed to get one of the basins finished over the weekend... sans sanding and finishing obviously. This is one long vanity :)

I've got 3 layers of timber, only cutting through the top 2 (giving...

Depends on the application... I'll usually try to get 3 layers on at once, then a light sand (and good clean) before the next.

It matters more when you get to the last coats (as long as your coats...

Just a quick one that heating the epoxy does speed up curing, so be mindful of this.

Heating the actual timber [as opposed to the epoxy] also works to increase viscosity and can help buy time...

But yes, for me, it's always yielded a finer finish building up very thin layers. Warming the epoxy helps with viscosity, allowing said thin layers and a more consistent coverage (especially on...

You would think so, wouldn't you Cava :yeahright:

Managed to run a roughing cut on the CNC last night after work... the whole neighborhood smells like tiger balm :)

Need a dust-shoe extension for the bit I'm using... a massive carbide spiral,...

It is nice to be using timber considered a weed.

Along with the environmental side I agree... asthetically, the grain pattern always seems to be very interesting and the colouring is a nice...

Especially with the state of our recycling system here at the moment... it's verging on non existent since China capped their material imports.

Much is going straight into land-fill :(

Yeah I've heard that gold rush analogy a few times...

"Better to sell the spade, than dig the hole"

Some tips with the finishing (probably wrong forum for this), but while we are here, some quick helpful advice...

I've found the high-density 100mm paint rollers help with your finish (if you...

Going the boat building route, which I've done quite a lot in the past... I've still got some test timber sitting in the garden (full sunlight and weather) that I coated with this method over 5 years...

Interested in how your search goes, I've got this one from makita and it does the same. Cross it off your list....

It's an amazing collection, I hope the family have kept some pieces.

My grandfather's workshop was broken up (after his passing) when I was in my teens. I really wish I was wiser back then and...

Final pieces ready for glue-up...

Thanks guys, appreciate it :)

Thanks for this, might do something similar for the home set up. The new space has a window.

How long was this outside for? Interested to hear how long it took to be eaten.

Going to be almost zero waste from this slab!

I've got 4 pieces to prep for lamination under the bench-top, these will allow a deeper cut for the basins (the slab is 50mm thick but I want 100mm...

Yeah this is looking pretty amazing...

Managed to get some time to cut this down. Bit of a reality check not having my cabinet saw, or a decent work-bench for that matter.

Track-saw in the garden... bit of beast to wrangle solo.

Grain is looking pretty cool...

Thought I'd share a personal project I've been working on for the girlfriend's new bathroom.

Big dual basin vanity (2450) made from a camphor slab.

Combination of traditional joinery / tooling...

Hi All...

I've had some great information / advice from this forum over the years and never posted... so, a thank you to start with! :)

My name is Paul and I live in the Blue Mountains near...

+1 for epoxy here. Had a similar repair a few years ago and the epoxy is holding strong (to poly)

I seriously love that magic square... :)
