    can you explain how it will be attached to the deck surface?

    I'm also curious about what type of paint or finish will be applied or will that job be your client's responsibility?

    I thought that it was going to be a "round tuit" that you hadn't got around to finishing .

    Not on these.

    My normal roughing gouge which is one these:http://www.packardwoodworks.com/Merc...=00-aspec-ht24 i but ground to a thumbnail shape.

    On semi green stuff I find I can get a 1/2" cut with this and really remove stuff.

    No shavings just chips or mulch.

    The problem with them as all big chisels is the tang.

    It actually bends and eventually breaks on our sort of work so we knock the handles off and weld a steel one on.

    It will be sliced up and then attached to a backing probably by glue.

    We use NC lacquer.

    Mate I should have sent you down the mongrel scrub turkey that decided he wanted all of my mulch in one corner of the yard. Over 3 months it was a constant struggle and on more than one occasion threatened to drag the .410 out of retirement.

    He would have shifted that lot overnight but unfortunately for him - but great for me he picked on a car carrier semi and came off second best.

    Hmm maybe a conveyer belt into a skip could be the go.
    I make sawdust with powertools.

    We used to have a 5 metre skip that the dust extractors fed but it was costing nearly a $100 a week to have it emptied.

    So now we bag it and people pick it up for the garden or horse paddocks.
