I did all my internal Tas Oak windows with Intergrain Ultra Clear. Fantastic stuff. Lovely to apply. Leaves a nice silky smooth light honey-coloured finish. Not low build though.

Yes. Are you seeing something else?



Sorry, you’ve lost me. $345 to $244 is a 29% decrease. That graph is all over the internet.

It appears to have flatlined. In fact, the price increased in 2022.

Are people realistically going to replace their 75kWh battery when it’s degraded to 60kWh? That’s still 80% of the rated capacity. Given the cost of the battery, I seriously doubt it.

15.88mm is ⅝” which is likely the size the bearing journals were made for. I don’t know why the original bearings are 15.82, but I’d be very surprised if 15.88 wide bearings didn’t fit. I’d buy the...

People have been saying that for decades. I think the term is “kicking the can down the road”.

You can de-gloss shellac with Tripoli powder. I did this with a hardwood guitar amplifier I built. I used the Ubeaut Tripoli.

The forum is not phone friendly. In fact, when it comes to posting photos, it's not even desktop friendly! Keep trying, as we'll need pics to comment.

A Maton is worth doing properly.



No, I haven’t. But it’s a pre-cat finish, so I suspect it’s very similar to PC3220. Maybe identical. You’d need a few rattle cans to do a guitar though.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your first paid job. Can you please elaborate on what you mean by a "sharp" look?

They obviously had no idea.



It has to come off unfortunately. It's never going to be any harder than the softest layer. Weakest link, and all that. We don't know what brand this guitar is. Is...

Truckjohn is right. Marine varnish is the completely wrong finish for a guitar. Guitars are typically finished with a lacquer that sets very hard and can be polished to a high gloss. Something like...

That’s how I would do it.

Not me. I have too much self-respect. :)

Maybe something like this? Truth Awning Winder | Vantage Hardware | AWS Australia

I don't know if 370mm travel will be enough for you though.

I make up long lengths of 10mm thick hardwood tenon stock in various widths. Most of it is Vic Ash. Any hardwood would work. I put a 10mm bullnose on the edges to match the diameter of the router bit...

That's how I make mine.

This video? How to French Polish - Woodworking Finish with Shellac - YouTube

Slightly off topic, but I don’t understand why the Yanks insist on staining almost everything walnut colour. That table would have looked great if he had just French polished the raw mahogany.

It's only 224km. It's an A road and Google maps gives the trip time as 2:25. Why would you have to do it at night?

More thoughts:

Your proposed design will be very wonky without some diagonal bracing.

I reckon a 90mm deep side rail on a 1m high bed would look odd. Personally I'd use the 160x40.

Mirocat PC3220 is the closest thing I have used to a true NC finish. It's fantastic stuff. I use the slow thinner to give it time to level out, as I'm not the greatest spray painter.

Neil,
will the New Posts tab here include posts from the new renovate forum, as it does with some posts from the metalwork forum?

Yep.

Bonjour Emmanuel.

Hello Danatan. Welcome.

Only if you clean it with something scratchy. I installed acrylic shower walls in our previous house and they were pristine when we sold a few years later.

Have you tried the red Diablo belts Bunnings sells? I think they are (or were) made in Switzerland.

OK, maybe I’m confused. Are we talking about dust extractors or room air filters (the subject of this thread)?

If you can still buy filters for it, why not? It’s just a blower in a box.

I’ve never done steam bending, but I doubt you’re going to be able to bend that thickness of timber to that small a radius. Is kerfing an option? Or laminating?

I'd use one of these: Ripper TCT Hole Saw | Bordo – Sharp Edge Aust

The standard serrated tooth hole saws are horrible for cutting wood. I haven't tried Bob's trick, but the hole saws in my link...

Is it possible for these things to become clogged and under-read? Or do they over-read when clogged? I don't imagine they are designed to cope with the dust load generated in a woodwork shop.

My (very unscientific) theory is that if there's dust on the filters that's dust that isn't in your lungs or coating the surfaces of your workshop. ⅛ HP should cost about 3c an hour to run.

Thanks Fuzzie. I'd never heard of LCC27 valves and apparently they've been fitting them for 3 years!

I’m calling BS on your mate’s story!

I’d be asking him, rather than us. If you stuff up the cleaning you won’t have any comeback if you used a different acid to the one he recommended.

What kind of a tiler leaves tiles so messy they need acid washing?
