Sorry Neil, too yellow. Makes it bright and a bit of a strain on the eyes. Why don't you try for a more mustard yellow?

Eastie, already ordered my copy of the book, can't wait to get it ...

Bummer about the printers, Neil. I'll order one today, but if you could hold off shipping until you get the "good" version http://ubb.ubeaut.com.au/ubb/biggrin.gif

No worries on the delay, Neil. We wont be starting this project until we have ourselves a copy of A Polishers Handbook http://ubb.ubeaut.com.au/ubb/smile.gif

Incedently, if I order one today...

Further to that, what brand is "a good stripper" (other than the obvious http://ubb.ubeaut.com.au/ubb/wink.gif )

Hi All,

Well it seems that Shane is AWOL with the demise of Dingo Blue so I have a quick question to throw out to you all.

Last weekend I picked up an old radiogram (no insides, only the shell)...

Well I picked up an old Radiogram on the weekend at an auction for $55. It's in pretty bad shape and could possibly be beyond me, but I am going to give it a shot anyway. Expect some emails when I...

A farmer goes out one day and buys a brand new stud rooster for his chicken coop. The new rooster struts over to the old rooster and says, "OK old fart, time for you to retire."

Just a quick question, is there any problems with customs (be it here or there) with sending bowls overseas, primarily to the US? I have some friends in America who would like some...

Hi Shane,

Another fantastic post. One word of possible advice, it might be a good idea to protect your camera in a sealable lunch bag or something, particulalry if you leave it sitting in your...

Shane, mate, you are doing a fantastic job with this, keep it up!

Hi Neil,

What can you suggest for a woodturned bowl that has heaps of natural edge inclusions, meaning I can't polish it on the lathe. I really want a high luster finish for the natural edge...

G'day Barry

FYI, just before I bought all my Triton gear I called Mitre 10 in Lavington who were going to be Triton's representation at the Canberra WWW Show to see what kind of prices they would...

Well I am sure those of you that collectivly shook your heads at my near enough should be good enough approach will be happy to hear that I found an old $10 hand plane that I bought from Bunnies a...

Thanks ubeaut. The only downside is that I don't have a plane. I know the board wont be perfectly flat, but I can only do the best I can with the tools I have. Besides, if the client doesn't like...

Well Doorstop, you were right. After I had cut the wood to 50mm widths (50 x 7 = 350mm wide) the 40mm depth looked just right for the size. If I had cut it down to only 25-30mm thick it would have...

Yup, but she does want a dark wood, plus I have already dropped a wad on the merbau. I'll see how I go, worst case scenario, I'll cut the thing in half if she doesn't like it and then I have two...

Easier to do the with a router and a circle jig, maybe...?

G'day Doorstop,

I was feeling that 20mm is a little thin, but my biggest problem is at the size she wants if it is any thicker she wont be able to move the thing because it will weigh too much. I...

G'day All,

Just thought I would give you a little update on where I am at on my first "commissioned" http://ubb.ubeaut.com.au/ubb/smile.gif piece.

I have finally bought some wood today for it....

Thanks so much for your replies everyone!!!

Some good news came my way a couple of days ago and I have come into a little spare money that is to be spent on woodworking gear, so I have decided to...

G'day All,

Sorry for the double post here and in the General Woodwork section, I am hoping for some quick answers. I'll see if I can get a concesnous here before tomorrow comes around ...

Holy cow! Thanks for all the replies guys! I think I might give Rod's simple benchtop a go first because I have some mdf lying around that is about the right size. If it is no good I haven't...

Thanks Iain!

I don't have a bandsaw, but if I do the curves smoothly enough hopefully my Jigsaw wont make a meal of it, and the veneer should help.

Might give it a shot!

Thanks Rod & Neil!

Well, looks like pine it is http://ubb.ubeaut.com.au/ubb/smile.gif That's OK cause it means I can get a little extra creative if I want, and if I stuff it, I just go and...

Glad I could be of a help, Russell. Quite a price difference there, but I suppose you have to factor in things like shipping etc.
