As it’s real wood a sand down and a clear satin or mat varnish could also work.. I’d also use masking tape to cover/ protect the plain parts of the door . It’s a pain but having ruined hours of work once I’d remove the tape as soon as you have finished varnishing/ staining. Don’t let the varnish...

Difficult to say from the photo but my money would be on not be on mahogany, is it real wood? Sand a little back on an inside face of a small door . See what you have , it sort of looks like that ( imo ) awful ronseal paint and grain..

Take your pick - anything from abuse , wear and tear , wrong bit/ screw type , impact driver used with non impact bit, cheap bits made with monkey metal etc etc etc fascinating vid had to watch it twice to see what was being made ..👍

Used something similar about 35+ years ago for 42mm + copper water mains on a prison build every time you joined another length of pipe to the run and slipped the compression joint nut over the pipe , flared the end , and then tightened up the fitting it would undo the previous fitting . We then...

Hello/ welcome love 💕 that user name ( former emmerdale fan ) 👍👍

Given the use it’s had and the circumstances that have led to your decision to sell I think this is very reasonable. Hope you can purchase something else with the proceeds to continue with your woodworking. I seriously hope I’m still able to continue with mine if I make it to 86 so my hat that I...

while sorting through some scrap brass and copper I noticed a compression joint that I’ve never seen before or at least not had the time to take a closer look. So having cleaned the pipe and fitting a little I came across a makers name - on the edge of the compression nut it reads ( the fyffe...

I have the same problem with the same clamps. I use plywood shims if i don’t want to leave any marks. Always wondered why it happened as were supposed to be none marring..

A lot of what I make is over engineered or as @Fitzroy say ( fred flinstone ) 😍😍but I look at it simply- will it break if I stand on it ..posted pics of a bed I made for my son on ( post a pick of the last thing you made thread ) and I used mainly 2 x 4 . My son is a big Ladd . When I’d...

You maybe able to simply clean up any melamine surfaces with a domestic cleaner like mr muscle , elbow grease etc- just try it in an out of site area 1st .if not then you could try painting them with a multi surface paint..

Hello and welcome, whatever you leave and varnish over you will see through the varnish. Hard to tell from pictures but what are the cabinets made of ( real wood, melamine, etc) this tbh will dictate what finish you can apply to them ( if any)

Hi sapper , very sorry to hear of your accident , hope you have recovered , even sadder ghe fact that you never got the chance to use it and produce some boxes .

Ahh i knew you would not let us down 🤗🤗 maybe its an age thing or anyone 50 or 60 + from an engineering background would probably frown against anything digital . I used laugh at some of the young apprentice gas engineers with their digital u gauages instead of the traditional 12 “ water gauage...
