That's the plan . . Heading o/s for a few weeks so will get stuck in when I get back - having a few issues deciding on the design for the legs - do i go big and chunky or fine and tapered . . then...

Thanks for all the support guys - James loves his bookcase - and has inspired me to move onto the next project - a jarrah hall table from a few jarrah door frames picked up from a skip bin 4 years...

Hi

Love the look of the wood.

Although I'm very new to this also having just finished my first project - have recently been through some similar dilemmas with danish oil.

After wet sanding...

Incredible. Really beautiful.

All finished and installed. 400 wet and dry then 3 coats of SO, finishing off with some more SO and 0000 steel wool. Truly blown away with the steel wool finish.

Top doweled and glued on . . ready for finishing . .

Forgot this one - the carcass dry fit

Lastly - one of the 'workshop' - such as it is!

Making a bookcase for my son. My first project, with a circular saw, ROS, a borrowed router and a few clamps.

1) Bringing the wood home - marri boards
2) First two boards joined - acceptable...

thanks for all the tips ppl. The rustin's was so runny that I ended up doing 4 top ups and it still continued to seep into the sap lines. I don;'t think it helped that the sap lines are quite...

Thanks for the advice guys.

Given I had already purchased the Rustin's I've sanded and taped everything up - and spent 3hrs filling the sap lines last night (on the dining room table) drop by drop...

Hmm - yeah he did mention that I should fill full knot holes in stages 5mm deep max. Luckily there is only 1 real 'hole' (approx 9mm diam, 10mm deep) with the rest just being knots that need...

Thanks al for the welcome, am slowly making progress on the bookcase, taking some snaps as I go - and will post them up if I ultimately achieve a half decent result!

Has anyone used Rustin's Plastic Coating to fill knots and saplines?

I was on the hunt for an epoxy that had been recommended (megapoxy) when I got ambushed at a timber shop and was told this is...

Thanks for the quick reply Dazza,

If I'm right then the 69 is more of an adhesive, and the PF sets very rapidly (pot life 3mins!) so do you use mostly the H rapid set? Are there specific...

Apologies if this has been dealt with before but after trawling 10 pages of posts I can't immediately find what I'm looking for . .

I am in the process of making a Marri bookcase, have purchased...

Hi Dazza, am very new to this so excuse the possibly naive question but I'm attempting a marri book shelf and am wondering what you use to fill the knots/saplines?

The table looks fantastic -...

Hi all,

Have come across the forums a few times over the last 12 months and decided following the recent purchase of a dud biscuit joiner to join up and benefit from the years of experience...

Sadly I went ahead and bought a Ryobi 600W (Model EBJ900RG) from Bunnings the other day before doing my research. A quick practice cut and then I got stuck into my Marri slab - disaster!
