Will check, but I can actually feel the slop in the protractor - it wobbles from left to right .5 mm or so ...
:((

Hello everyone !
Does anyone know of a good online seller of parts Triton ?
My Triton has a bit of slop in the protractor, both sides, so I think it's the protractor, not the inlay.

Thanks !...

Cool job for tight fit. I've used little bits of milk bottle plastic and other PVC to make a wider fence !:)

Yes, that's the sort of setup I had in mind, but with the Triton RTA and a normal router.
Haven't started the boards yet ...

Yep, had that sort of set up. Seems to be the main problem was controlling the vertical movement of the board, to avoid "ripples".

Thanks for the reply.
I've used feather boards and clamps and many hands, but it's really hard to control 3.6 m of MDF and it only has to move a tiny amount to spoil the effect. I thought I would...

Hi everyone,
long time since I have written here.
Just after some advice. We are routing our own skirting boards from 19mm mdf. The boards have been 230mm tall.
I have a 1500w Worx router and a...

I've also used Fuller's Caulk in Colours. Worked well, but tended to shrink in a bit.
It can be bit messy ... We found it best to put a first "sealer coat" of whatever finish you were using on the...

I'm not sure about the matching - I just going to hope all of the timber is the same and use the same sealer (CFP).

Cheers !

Stephen

Yep - I really know mine is all over the place - exit saw marks, 89deg, etc

So, I'll print this out and climb onboard the frustration train and do what I should have done ...

Thanks for the...

How do you fix a broken Tuba ?

:)

:rolleyes:

:cool:

:p

Wow - I've watched this thread with great enthusiam, but remember

The floors perfect and I'm happy :)
...

What was it like ?

Ok - I've read that - It's ok then ... as long as we have all listened to each other about our situation .

And I realise my wording (Should the cat live) is so tempting and doesn't make sense...

Well I'm surprised - it's not about the cat ...
No-one asked about modifying the Poll - I gladly submitted the thread and Poll, in good faith, and as a little bit of humour. That's why I've asked...

I was just wondering who (who must have access to the foruma at an advance level) added the "kill the cat option "?

I wish to have that option removed.

Would the person who added please...

Fudge does not go outside.
We live near some bush, and we wouldn't let her hurt any wildlife. However, if she goes near wet paint again ....

PS - If your thoughts for the cat (her name is Fudge by the way) are tooooo devious to publically mention, send me a PM - I will try to follow your requests ...

And this is a closeup of the beadings. Onthe right is the original, centre is a practice one in Oregon Pine and the left is the finished new one in Macrocarpia Pine.

Hi everone
We restored one of the cedar doors. One side had too much damage on the beading, so I replaced the beads - 3 passes on the router.

We are really happy with the results !

A set of pictures says it all.

Brilliant - can't believe the look of it !!!

As an ex-music teacher - I really have got over the old steel ones ...

Well done. It's just amazing !

Stephen

We used a special bit from Carb a tech - cost about $110 ...
It was done in a single pass. The sheet came as 3600x1200mm, ripped it into 5 230mm lengths and then hit the router table !
I've posted...

Hi guys, just a few pictures to show off a busy Sunday !
The MDF being routed is for Skirting boards (23 cm tall).
The nextl picture is the image of happiness - a bucket of MDF ...
The dresser is...

Any idea where - our choices in Devonport TAS are somewhat limited !!!

I agree, white would be better.

Thanks !

Hi everyone - below is a picture of how I've done our window beads - I got sick of having to prise off nailed on beads - so I've used some nice wafer head screws. When the sash cord breaks, it won't...

Yeah we know.....we did use those garden kneeling pad thingys!!! But after a while the lower back gave up.....then it was bums on the floor for a while ....then back on the knees....Gawd this...

To every one who has responded to my questions....you all sound like absolute troopers. Thanks so much....we both are feeling much the same as many have said....leave these age, wear marks alone now....

Hi and thanks for all the feedback !!
We applied the CFP like this:

Karen applies the CFP with a 100mm roller on a ceiling pole
I follow behind with a good 65mm brush and "tip it off" to...

Here's a picture of the finished floor !:) :) :)

We're pretty happy with it and we'll leave the room alone for a few more days.
Next job is sanding the door (cedar) and coating it and making...

Oops - got it completely wrong ... (again)

The real story is - when the wood was being sanded the discs became covered with glassy areas some up to ten cent piece size down to really little...

Larry,
We are - or should I say, we have done the floors ourselves, and apart from the "wrong way around", they have come up very well !

Pau1 - We tend to use Satin" for everything - it's a...

Thanks for the reply - but just gotta ask - what do you love ? - the pains the floors can be - or the husband / wife varnish combo ? - can't think of any others !
We have the rest of the house to go...

Yes, a very light sand is the usual - nothing worse than sanding a coat right out ! We usually use some 1200 grit wet/dry and about 3 coats.
Karen rolls it on, and I tip it off with a brush
...

Spreyton=Suburb we live in !
I'll get back later about the finish.
Cheers

Hi everyone. We have a lovely 135 y.o. house we are (slowly) renovating.
The bedroom we are currently working onis getting close to being finished and generally has come up well.
We have...

Ok - sorry haven't got around to asking Karen about the exact description - will do later !
Here's a couple of (bad) pictures.

Ok - I'll try that if we can find a bit that is not already sanded !
I just seemed strange the way in which it sanded - formed balls and clogged the paper up.
I'll have a good look tomorrow and get...

Hi everone,
What is shellac like when it is sand-papered off ?
We have beeb renovating an old blackwood dresser, and the finish has sort of come off in balls of gum - does this sound like it ?

Hi everyone- my first post :) I'm from Tassie, and our local mechants here have mentioned that Tassie Oak could be any one of dozens of species.
And the colours can be very variable.
