Thanks Wendy,

Thought I might need to prefinish in an effort to get the right depth of colours first is all.

Its a small box that I'm making with my daughter whose 10. Apart from the buzzer...

BWillie,

May I ask what finish you used?

Thanks

Help,

I have started a small box made from Ash & Mahogany as I liked the contrasting colours. The effect I am looking for is to highlight the shimmering "tiger stripe" grain and the color of the...

Hello All,

I have just pulled a 1500watt motor out of a vacum cleaner (was in good nick and operated well) that was spare at home. SWMBO does not yet know about this!!!!:D

Very nice indeed, did swmbo like it?

Stueysnail thanks for this, I have a Ryobi thicknesser and the sniping has been its only disappointment, but now no longer. I intend to get this added asap!!!!!!!!!! :)

Ruffly,

Next you will tell us about "reading the instructions first!!!" :D ;)

Heres my point of view, being new to WW and starting out borrowing everyone elses tools.

It was the generosity...

very nice, agree with previous comment re why the straight legs on the squiggly table. That said still think it is cooooooooooooool :D

Hello Ruffly

I quite like them both, the box in particular seems nicely proportioned. Undecided on the handle, yet seems to grow on me. How are you planning to finish it?

Well done :)

Its a Chinese product. They seem to sell around the $1300-1500 mark here.

www.chevpac.co.nz stock them here in NZ. Check out their website, they have a reasonable online catalogue.

Good luck

Hello Trav,

Hello Jill,

Having a look at all the pictures all I can say is that you have too much time on your hands, you need more kids!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D ;)

Welcome and most impressive, my wife saw...

Like the box and like the shells, I am sure your daughter enjoyed being part of the process and takes pride in her contribution. Its starts like this that empower them.

:)

Sl Wilks, hoping that the wall is intentionally built that way, if not maybe you can convert to a boat!!!!

Seriously that is a big project most impressive.

Dimensions of table are 1.5m square,...

borrowed a mates dovetailing jig, so not that special. Natural - no, just persistent!!! :)

I love the table and its colour.

Excuse my ignorance however as I have not seen much jarra here in NZ, how hard a timber is it to work?

That is outstanding, love the style


well done

Adam,

That is a lovely toy box, will be cherished for years.

Well done, like Ashore I would like to know the technic you used to join the wood

Thanks Mick

That just makes it more impressive and I bet the "puzzle" was making it!! :cool:

Hello Mick,

Would be keen to know how, even if its just for the intellectual benefit (as I do not plan on making the error again!).

Can you point me in the right direction re info please?

Think the blackwood was imported.

We have a local mill here which specialises in rarer timbers. The guy who runs it is really helpful and he spent some time showing me various timbers and telling...

Thats pretty neat, looks like it takes a lot of thought to make it even with plans

well done

Thought I'd use the leftover blackwood to make some bar stools, if fact started on them today :)

Its a gas fireplace which has a real flame effect. Go to www.livingflame.co.nz and you will see it in action.

Thanks guys for your comments.

Nothing too much went wrong, biggest hassle was managing the tear out when using the buzzer and thicknesser because of not allowing for the grain direction, then...

Hi Cliff,

Im guessing the chocolate factory is Donovans which is in town or Candyland which is based about 15k north of town.

Spelling to Waitomo spot on.
