You only have to follow people that do things that interest you, it's not all crap, just stop pressing on the crap part

I have Istagram on my PC with a Dell 30" monitor much better viewing than my smart phone

Great Story :)

I just noticed something else which isn't right, the Headstock casting has been lifted with steel box section to make the bed level, I can't see your concrete floor being that much out of level so I...

You may need to make say 5 or 10 posts before being able to PM.

I have owned Trend for years a well known brand in the UK

Trend Router Range | Trend Tool Technology

Sagar bought Bursgreen around 1947 and in turn Wadkin bought these 2 amalgamated companies a few years later, there could be parts missing, maybe they got taken to the tip when the shed was cleared,...

If you post some pics we might be able to tell you more about it, are you wanting to get into woodturning?

Reading the Patent, I don't see the Bevel mentioned, I think the important part is picking a width with the right depth of slot to match the saw teeth so that when you move the saw set from side to...

Just to say since I pressed the "Remember Me" box I have not had to keep pressing login every few hours, so it works great.

I guess how this works is every few hours the Forum website checks for...

I like the look of the blocks better than posts & sleepers, it's a pity he did one thing right and filled them with concrete, otherwise it would have been an easy take down and you could have reused...

As I suggested in my last post, regrading the landscaping by importing soil to cover those footings would be your cheapest option, the ground is sloping up anyway so any grading could be feathered in...

I went with Ego and have a couple of whipper snippers and an 18" chainsaw, they do a zero turn ride on mower which seems to get good reviews, now battery life is improving I do think they are the way...

Thanks Rob, I was looking for it while being logged in, so just logged myself out and spotted it where you login, I had not noticed it before, so I have ticked it and will see if that sorts out the...

I don't think that is my issue, because I can spend all day working on my PC with the forum running in the background and I still get log out unless I have activity with the forum, it feels like I am...

Hi DJ,

Ever since joining the Forum, I have to log back in at least twice a day should I leave the forum running in the background on my PC, if I remember to press the "Activity Stream" very...

Go over it again with 120 grit, this will make the pores more open and give the finish something to key to.

It's a shame your selling them I have run my Wadkin's successfully from 240V for many years with no issues and it only cost me just over $1K to setup my RPC.

I have a friend who is a part time portrait artist, he only started in the last few years, but he is quite good

You mentioned your doing a large top, so you will need to work across it quickly keeping a continues wet edge to allow the shellac to blend into itself to form one coat, should you yet to one end of...

Yes it's really annoying having spent the time getting bits shiny, then going back to them a few weeks later and they've started to rust, on the Sunshine Coast it's definitely the climate, I never...

It maybe down to your technique and speed of applying, you don't want a brush which contains too much shellac because that can result in uneven thickness being applied, it's not like painting with a...

Those brushes will not give you the best finish a mop brush like my pic lays on the shellac better because the bristles are different lengths which leaves less marks, they are quite expensive but...

Why not brush it on then flatten it by sanding it back, you can always repeat until you have sealed the surface and are happy to move on to the next stage which in this case is staining?

To me it looks like the veneer got damaged when cutting the doors/panels to size from the large board, it may have delaminated slightly and even chipped, then the edging got glued on, but overtime...

It sounds like there is something wrong with it Wadkin during their 8 hour test would have picked that up and sorted it out before it left the factory.

That edging is to give the appearance of a quality multi ply board, under that edging is the substrate MDF or chipboard, because if you have plywood under that edging then apart from it not possibly...

With you being new to the Forum your replies will be vetted and not be posted instantly, but for now they show in the Activity Stream

I would say that the guy that built your wall wears a big hat and spurs.

I thought the blockwork cores were empty when looking at the return pics.

That front elevation must get some comments...

If you crop the image slightly, then for some reason the pic's will appear the right way up :)

So looking at the pic's your only 3 blocks high and you have used a decorative concrete dry joint...

Some pic's would be helpful.

How high is the wall? I ask because I have seen some very dodgy retaining walls holding up more than 1M in height of soil that really needed an engineers input,...

Concrete slabs need 4 to 6 weeks to release moisture and the thicker the slab the longer this will take, bedrooms with carpets can smell from mold because they have been laid too soon. With your...

Maybe a silicone spray would work better

Do you have pic's of the underside of the bottom, did you buy kit's to make them?

I have an Altendorf, but not many small ones come up for sale, if your not bothered about age the Wadkin BGP 12" might be a good for what you need they are quite compact and there is one for sale in...

Most of them at the inquiry say "I don't Recall" they must have watched Ronald Reagan on the news when they were kids and thought yes I can use this at some point in my career.

WOW some work went into those planes

Just to add a bit to the grain filling part of the conversation, for a while back in the UK around the 1980/90's Limed Oak and Ash became popular and interior designers would specify this finish, I...

Hi Rob,

Thanks for your reply, I was interested because you mentioned dipping your rubber directly into the shellac when bodying up, which I have never heard of and wondered how that came about as...

For anyone starting out, these 3 videos have enough knowledge to get you on your way

Hi Rob,

In Australia Cabinet Makers gain a qualification through Tafe, so do I take it wood finishing does not form apart of the curriculum to achieve that qualification?

Like I mentioned...

Each new coat (layer) becomes apart of the previous coat, so bodying is creating an amalgamated thickness of shellac, where individual layers don't exist.

For me the use of pumice was only to fill the grain once you were happy that had been achieved you would continue just adding more coats of shellac to build up a body, the bodying process gives the...

In the UK French Polishing and other more modern finishes formed part of the Cabinet Makers City & Guilds qualification back in the 1970's/80's (not sure about today) so we were taught to use fine...

Is this board from another property? they will have balanced the 3 phases

That's an old board, someone seems to have cut the panel to add a new RCD and done a poor job of the cut out with them sticking loads of blue tape around it.

It looks like that board is already...
