After looking at the price of that gravity feed i am pretty annoyed bunnings wanted $130 or so dollars for their trade air gravity feed.
Unfortunately i cant take the gun back as i have been doing...

Thanks for the heads up China, unfortunately the gun only came with a 2mm fluid nozzle. I can always make another trip to bunnings to purchase a 1-1.5mm but will it really make much difference?

rattrap they must be cutting up 20 year old houn theses days?

fine box alex.

would the organoil danish oil work well or a bit to expensive for the amout of wood i need to finish?

silly question probably.

pretty much one man didnt even know what a leigh dovetail jig was when i went in there and he had one sitting next to him. could've been new though :rolleyes:

yeah to mostly hold books. and my tv on the top.

oh okay well i will go to the hardware tomorrow and have a look for those kind of products.

i heard of a fine woodworking issue with a step by step in it but do not know what issue. it would be greatly appreciated if you could tell me some good place to find...

does anyone have this issue because it is sold out in back issues on the web site. if some does would they either let my but it off them or send me pictures of the workbench part?

regards toby.

i would say the closest you could get to maroon would be tassie myrtle but dont finish it with sellac. if you just dont finish it then it will stay a very dull colour which is very close to maroon. ...
