Great looking table there mate, love the colour. When I worked at heartwood furniture we made a lot of the 'waterfall' joins such as this. No clamps needed at all, just wide packing tape. Get a...

Beautiful looking unit there, love the colour of jarrah once oiled. Great job mate!

Yeah I got one for my Dad years ago at a show, $250 at the time but was never as good as they showed us :(

Have It somewhere here now that my Dad has passed.

Nice work there mate, is the timber ironbark?

Looks like a 1:18 scale, maybe Maisto?

Hi Derek, at Heartwood we always used UF for curved laminations but we obtained them in larger quantities. Worked great! Also got it in powder form that we had to mix so you could just use as much as...

Looks beautiful mate, love it!

Paul.

I'm not too sure sorry but it looks like they've used bolts up through the legs, 2 on each side and one in the middle. Having only ever used buttons for joining tops, I don't know where you could...

Love the shape of the design, hopefully turns out how you want it to.

Paul.

Does look good with the raw timber grain, love it!

Hey there, if you're after a one piece jarrah top you'd be best to try and find a supplier of timber slabs. If it's large enough you could trim the sides square otherwise, the natural edge is a nice...

Awesome job there mate, i love how it looks like you've been pushed into different rooms during the projects advancement hehe

Beautiful table there mate

Wow, love the colour of that timber! Great looking shelf unit there mate, love it!

Looks beautiful mate, Blackheart Sass? How did you find the sanding of it?

Hey mate, a simple and quick method is to place the wide masking tape over the holes on the underside of the table and epoxy away. Once it's dried, just pull the tape off.

Awesome job there mate, they look really nice. specially like the square ones. Not sure if you've been told as yet but there should be a black putty from timbermate, called ebony. I've only seen it...

That handbook is a brilliant piece of work imo, a must have for the workshop. Very informative and a bout of humour thrown in which helps the reading process.

haha, yes i'm the one on the far right, with the hat. Even the guys at work have never seen me with that off.

Don't know why they're not on the forums, i've told them about it many a time..
...

Yay! I'm on the cover!!

Love the look of the workshop, looks like there's a good amount of space. Also makes me realise how very few tools i actually have :C

Is 1.5m wider than a standard dining table? And was it based...

Beautiful mate, very well done :2tsup:

Paul.

Yes, i have a newer tin and it didn't seem the same. Got hot in transit and the top section was all liquidy so i just put it down to that.

Still, doesn't seem right...

Very nice! :2tsup:

Oh no! i can't see the last post images, not sure if it's my computer though :o

Nice looking box there by the way, i like the addition of the inlay. Did you stop the dovetails at the back due to...

Looks great mate, how long would it take to make without the extra frustrations do you think?

And what's this 'show' i keep reading about...

Paul.

Fig. 11 takes my fancy, just seems to flow nicely. Did this type of desk tend to vary in dimensions or stay around the same size?

Thanks so much for that mate, we have the poster up at work but to see all the opening parts is amazing, so much smaller than i expected it to be as well.

Hey mate, looking good there. Just wondering how you've stained the items, was it with a brush on stain or a method such as fuming?

Paul.

I believe American oak will also yellow a little, not sure if it's just with time like the Tassie oak or from the finish. Would assume it was with time. Only reason i suggest A.Oak is that there's a...

Wow, nice work there mate. Shame about the tv unit but as you said, tv's have definately changed and i'll be ripping mine down in the not too distant future to make way for a newer tv as well. Never...

I'm with the other fellas, something about it works very well. like the shape very much

Might be a bit plain but how bout just a rectangular handle, bevelled in towards the doors/drawers on all sides? Would look nice if it was in the same timber as the background you have behind the...

Wow, now that's a massive desk!!

not too sure what brackets they would be but Bunnings is usually an ok place to have a look.
With the desk, is it going to be made in sections so each top part...

Looks great mate, very well done! :)

Hi Corey, looking forward to seeing this as i've come to really like blackwood once polished up, a nice project for you :)

As for the top, if the boards are fairly straight (as in flat) once...

Beautiful looking result there mate, love the colour and figure of grain in that timber.

Job well done!

Paul.

Hi Pedro, welcome to the forums!

I'm not too familiar with working on outdoor furniture but marine ply would be the most stable material i would have thought. Probably not the nicest to look at...

Awesome job there mate, looks really nice!

Must say, i've only recently seen Marri in the flesh so to speak and it definately grows on you. Bloody heavy though!

Great job once again.

Paul.

Looks very nice mate, what sort of hinge was used on it? looks quite strong and i was in need of one for a similar project.

Paul.

Hi emu1, nice looking slab you have there. i'd just go with the wood glue, it's very very strong once dry, be hard pressed to seperate the leg pieces once done. Are you planning on biscuiting the leg...

Nice looking cabinet there Derek. Great detailed read on dovetails by all involved, very enlightening.

Paul.

Beautiful looking table mate, love the layout of the top and the colour, job well done!

Looking good mate, mortices look very nicely done

hehe, i wouldn't personally sand anything after it's last coat. Sanding's usually just to key the surface so a next coat sticks better. To buff after the last coat, i just apply wax and buff it on in...

Thanks for the link to your mahogany blog entry WW, like everything you post, very informative. Now to go back and have a good look at that blog.. might be a few hours :U

As mentioned mate, really like the middle feature. love the bh sassy, can get some really nice features in it. Did you find it took much to sand smooth?

Beautiful work once again! Do you have your own collection of timbers to use or do you get them from where you can at the time? I was told mahogany is hard to get is all, at least what this person...

Beautiful work mate, love the shine on that side panel. Very nice looking timber

Very nice looking table there mate, what filler did you use on the top and how many coats of polish all up? Love redgum!

Looking forward to seeing the finish on this piece, the side shows some very nice figure. Does this timber work similar to redgum by any chance? Beautiful tenons there too!
