Turps based shellac and Wattyl 7008 two pack are good.

Also it depends on how much shellac your putting on top. I know its fine with Turps SS. As much as you want.
Ive FP over Wattyl 7008 and...

Nigel. Apprentices in FP did trade school at tafe to become qualified when I was doing my time as a cabinet maker around 1979.
I'm pretty sure they still would do that but I don't know? It could...

Linseed oil. Both types are ok if you wipe it off right and don't leave any behind.

SS gets thinned most of the time.

You'll have to try that one and tell me.
Probably could though ?

That was such a big job I had two other cabinet makers bodying at the same time.
Three of us were working hard at it and I was doing my section then going round pointing out how to body up and get...

The aim for me is to have the thinnest finished job with the grain full most of the time. So I'm using the mix thick as I can get away with until I start finishing it off. With good hard cut backs in...

There's some funny ways of doing stuff and every one to their own .

Ive always just dipped the rubber in the pot of shellac and squeezed the excess out. Usually along the bottom with my thumb if...

My version of an explanation is that Bodying is just applying and working layer of finish. Most of the time its building a body to fill the grain and get a smooth finish. Its the part before the...

The old guys I worked amongst who were pro polishers used pumice the same way. It was finely sprinkled in small amounts while bodying. In between layers after the first coats of shellac that were dry...

Sam.
One Aussie saying that I hear , I never use it myself but I think it applies here is.

Yeah Na !

That's on the wax and pumice and on most of the rest of it.

He made it shiny. And he...

I want to put in some timber treated pine posts and extend a lean to roof out the back for my blacksmithing stuff. Sheet iron it in for walls. Then do more blade making and planes in that space...

Its good Martin.
Its sitting on the bench waiting for attention. I had to get some woodwork done so it was put aside. I also need to just find a time where I can make the blade and use the kitchen...

Add a little shellac to the stain and it will hold on hard enough to use shellac over the top . 5% should be enough to work and will hardly change the stain at all .
As soon as you get a coat of...

I have a little thumb plane and Ian re did the blade in that for the previous owner NeilS before I bought it . I assume its the 1084? It is fantastic. I haven't had to sharpen it yet and its done a...

All you really need is a drill to do a tool or two. A drill press would be a lot better though. And a set of drill bits . Two would be better . One metric one imperial. Then find the diameter rod...

The same Wattyl oil based stuff I’ve shown you before Sam . Deep red coloured can stuff .

Is Mirotone a NCL ? They have a few types.
I tried some thinner bases stuff but something was wrong and I got terrible blushing white problems with the sanding sealer during the winter. Never got...

I enlarged this picture last night to point out the other possible 6 machines laying down.
Hows the young fella working in amongst the machines. Looks like a boy. Child labor at Wadkin?
Or a 1st...

Another thing of interest is the Two lever arms on the single shaft. I have a Wolfenden chisel and chain that uses one arm on a single shaft and it has a lever that has to be shifted left or right to...

Just looking at my catalog picture It looks to be a T slot machined in the bed to take the stock clamp.

I first thought your offer of a MF clamp would solve the problem nicely of the missing...

Make the tool or tools for it. You will most likely bugger them up punching them on and off.
Drilling some flat bar and fitting some mild steel rod should do. Weld it if possible on the off side....

Is there 6 standing and another 6 on their backs, some on trestles?

There is two types of cypress you usually see in Vic. One is the Golden Macrocarpa type milled from farm boundary trees and usually the sleeper type cuts are this timber if labelled Cypress. Its a...

The bench you made with the gap under the top is the tool for pressing a top like this. I was talking about that when you built it. With the right bridge clamp made up you can press stuff as wide as...

Between 25 and 30 hours spread out over the last couple of weeks doing the woodworking.

That's cool. They did too. I'm sure Ive seen that before but I'm not trying to remember all the stuff Ive seen any more.
That's my excuse anyway. :).

Ive got one of those chamfer planes in a...

Yep, it wouldn't be fixed if it was made on MDF.
I was thinking while fixing it that making it from new would have been faster. Working out how to fit in new parts with the old and add the stringing...

Thanks. A couple of kegs worth. :)

Nice fix with the backlash with brazing Martin. Ive played with re peening a worn wheel slot back towards where it first worked from and it made a difference. It was a slightly lumpy feel though. I...

Nice Video Sam.

That little table would be a nice one to do a modern re make of in local or imported woods of ones own choice and your own idea of the top construction.
My guess is that original...

The AdjuStar looks like a great idea. Anyone have an opinion on it ?
There are a lot of good reviews to read and Ive also watched the YT videos. It’s worth an ask here though. I’m not sure how much...

40s or 1950s I think Sam. The owner is about 35 . And her grand father made it. The top is veneered Plywood

It was a hard choice what to use to replace those sections Michael. Ive had Sapele pieces and veneers before and it didn't remind me of those. I actually think the solid Mahogany base to this table...

The new posts I do are short here because they are a copied link from instagram.
I'm scrolling on my phone somewhere. In my parked car while the wife is in a shop or I'm in my workshop or on the...

FFS! I know how I want to post a thread and I don't need your dumb suggestions.

.6 of a mm mostly. Some were a little thicker like .8mm.

I never took a picture before the top came off Sam and this is all I have. The top with its base. It'll be back together in a week though so Ill take a pic then.

Hi Sam . If you dont seal the can 100% it goes off. It can be a total loss of 4LT. And the more air that gets in the can as you use it and the level drops sets a skin on top. Ive never seen a full...

Nigel.
I just checked as I’m finally in the location of the catalog.
Sorry . It’s a 1924 catalog :roll:.

Rob .

edit
A bit of a thread on the catalog here.

I could see you first cut and paste pics.
The catalog is NOT 1928.

Edited in Red. 4/19/24 5.15pm .

My Mistake.

What do you mean Matt ? Can’t you view it ? Doesn’t Instagram run ?
When I look at the link on my phone it runs. But I’m an Instagram member. Maybe that’s why ?
When I click the link on my...

Maybe the test tag on the one for sale is on the other side like your machine Nigel . That’d be good if it’s there to be seen.Theres not many ME machines to be seen.
Did the seller reply about it ?...

:o

The tag if it’s still on the machine may be under that switch box.
If it has no back on it. Otherwise they took it off to fit the box maybe.

It looks to be an old ME

How’s the throat chopper!

Hi Sam . Are you putting a shine on your latest project? Ive been wondering what your next post on that will be.
I cant answer in regards to Hardwax oil . The only thing Ive used that may be close...

This looks like one of those thumb-hole rip saws Ian doesn't it ?
Possibly a couple of Queensland blokes ripping of a bit of figured Maple or Red Cedar for a job?
