    A very well made engine especially for a first I would certainly be proud if my first car (that is what I have plans for) turns out as good as this

    Default "Beits"

    Since this is my first project I learned that natural wood does pick up stains very fast, so I should add some protective coat. That is hard since it is alreay glued together, but I will try to brush on some clear paint.

    I tried to find woodstain in the Netherlands, but only found "beits" which is something different I think, and only available in woodcolors. Can anybody point directions to a Dutch or European supplier?

    Thanks
    Hey Pogo, Misschien weet je dit al:er is kleurloze beits van Levis, deze verhelderd de kleuren van het hout. Wel 2 of 3 lagen aanbrengen

    Default Rough google translation...

    Maybe you know this already: it is colorless stain of Levis, this clarifies the colors of the wood. 2-3 coats.
    Too many projects, so little time, even less money!

    In case some of you didn't know, the Dutch and part of Belgium speak the same language, so I knew what Leo was telling me

    The translation is very accurate!
