Shortly after a British Airways flight had reached its cruising altitude the Captain announced:

“Ladies and gentlemen,...

Sorry if this is a bit late, but it might be of help for future restoration and finishing work if needed.

The Aussie finishing bible "A Polishers Handbook" will give you a heap of information...

buyers beware!

Looks like it has been stained and waxed or finished with boot polish which would be similar to staining and then waxing over the top.

The person who made it is probably a novice with no idea what...

Imagine living in:usa3:. Sorry yanks but God's not smiling on you or China at the moment.

Wow what a great looking show. Not.

Bit sad looking from what's been posted so far.

Did anyone else attend, take photos or have any opinion on how it was.

What ever happened to lots of...

Don't waste your money. Buy a real lathe were never all that good in the first place. Over priced unconventional, dangerous lathe in the wrong hands.

Been gone for at least 20 years and because...

Takes a fair bit to get me to post in here and it's usually because peope don't get the gist of a question. So, sorry if I rain on anyone's parade but it looks like almost everyone completely missed...

I'm in

Interesting video on finishes but mostly for Americans. Doesn't show you how to, etc.

If you haven't already done so, have a look at ubeauts book. The best books on finishing and finishes for...

:lolabove: Hawhawhaw :rofl:

Might be worth getting a copy of "A Polishers Handbook" this will not only help you with sanding but also finishing and is a great read as well as the best finishing information for all from...

I don't post much on the forums and usually only do when someone or something gets up my nose.

I happened to see Grumpy's "post earlier this-arvo, before it was deleted and would like to give him...

Hello MMiad

Have a look at these two products from forum sponsor ubeaut.

White shellac and Hard Shellac

They look a light honey colour but don't change the colour of timber any more than...

:lolabove: What a tosser.

:please: :banhim:

More of an upkeep problem than finishing. Try ubeauts Polish Reviver if the surface has a sound coating on it. That stuff works a treat but if the marks appear to be through the surface and in the...

Good thing no one actually bagged your finish or finishing methods, otherwise we'd never hear the end of it. It's not all about you, you know. Some people are actually trying to give help and sound...

What a waste of forum space this thread is.

mossyblog. Stop stirring the pot, go through with your purchase, then come back here and let us all know if there were any pitfalls etc and exactly what...

Wouldn't count on there being too many woodwork related stands there.

Last lot to try this failed miserably and if woodworking shows are to continue to run in this country I hope this one does not...

Talk about sucked in.:rotfl:
I'll bet the smart money is all on csesiole and tongleh being one in the same. :rofl:

I've been a member here for 4 years don't post much do read a lot. In the time I have been here I have seen a few dummy spits. None that I recall were really called for. But this one has to take the...

Most plastic type finishes are food safe when dry. Not necessarily all that safe in their liquid state or their fumes. Apparently some can become toxic if washed in dish washer due to chemicals in...

Excellent way to ruin any antique value the piece may have now or in the future.

Making your own can sometimes be false economy, not only in terms of money but more importantly health.

If you want to make it cheaper and safer try using mineral turpentine instead of gum turps...

I have many, many wonderful woodworking, turning, carving and design books/videos, but the book that fixed all my problems was "A Polishers Handbook" by Neil Ellis from ubeaut.

My finishing was...

FF I would love to see you bring the tools into the country a container load at t time and sell them at a 15%-20% markup. Especially after paying gst, import tax, putting a profit on for yourself,...

WELL SAID JIM :2tsup:

Would be nice to have cheaper prices in Australia. All my pieces cost a fair bit of money but I'm glad I purchased them here rather than outside the country. For starters they all comply to...

That's a copout from someone who's finish is all but gone before it leaves the shop where it's being sold. Had a look at his work at Bungendore once and the finish looked terrible, what there was of...

What a pretentious person you are. A legend in your own lunch-box.

I see you've been given advice by a moderator and and an administrator of the forums, yet you choose to ignore it. But you were...

Never posted in here before but look in occasionally. All I can say is, you have more than your fair share of obnoxious arzoles in this forum.

Some of of you who were involved in this mess should...

Oh bugger. Best fix, leave it alone and let it age for another 80 years or so.

What. Why would you apply shellac with steel wool? That would be about the worst thing you could ever apply shellac with. You might just as well have applied it with sandpaper or a wire brush.
...

Next can try turning it up side down.

I have done this for years with oil paint which suffers the same fate and nevver had an upside can skin or thicken. I have never used tung oil apart from on...

Not sure which thread you're looking at but there is no mention of a book by peachtree woodworking.

No it's the one in post #16 as you would have seen if you had looked at the link. It is also...

Sand to about 800
- hot water
- sand to 1200
- IMS
- sand
- sanding sealer
- sand to 1200
- sand through to finest you can be bothered
- Hard shellac thinned with IMS, sand, again again...

Waste of time. The benches are already finished. He doesn't need to finish them again and the 7008 wouldn't take over another finish anyway.



Another waste of time because most have no idea...

Nice looking timber Boz.

Mapleman. For someone who presumably runs I wouldn't think you're doing a very good job of it. You seem to spend more time on here running down other peoples timber or...

I would have thought the first thing to do would be to go back to where you purchased it and ask for another or a refund. Not come on here with it.

Fair enough to let people know there's rubbish...

Advertising for free material, on a free free web site to sell for a profit? Free-loader.

But then maybe you're just really, really naive.

Think you should do a business plan and factor in...

That's funny I got one and immediately thought what have I done this time. Especially as how my post count is only about 10 just looked it's no 14.
I've made over 50 but most have been deleted.

Went to Brisbane and Sydney and both shows were excellent. The forum stand was really going off at both shows when I visited.

I will be in Adelaide for a meetings Thursday and Friday prior to the...

Not the 10' bluewater cruiser that gets on most peoples nerves sunshine. It's stoned pirates who ask for advice then don't take it. Why don't you go annoy people on the other boat forums or have you...

Oh shucks. :shrug: How sad and totally unexpected. Bye bye... :bye2:

More power to the Working with wood show. The real woodwork show. I can't wait for the Brisbane show this year and am really...

Weather they owned it, or as you said, "headed up and ran" what they have done still seems to be unethical to me.

I will continue to attend and enjoy the working with wood shows but will not...

I fully intended going but I had a better offer and went fishing instead. Was all fired up to go till I was informed it was basically a bit of a ripoff of the working with wood show with the same...

OK 4 Adobe updates later and I can finally see the floorplan.

Interesting.

All I get from that link http://www.handsonexpo.com.au/assets/floorplan_hands_on_brisbane.pdf is a notice saying "This file is damaged and could not be repaired."
