aerolite, due to the position, I would let it soak in some acetone for 5 mins upside down in a tub before blowing out and then injecting some aerolite. Then clamp up and leave for 24 hrs, should then last until your kids give it to their kids. The most important bit is to get rid of the natural...

It's trial and error as is also dependant on room temp. I go for a quick set mix as I use it while moulding edges with a router/moulder to get really smooth finish for painting. A 50/1bw ratio gets you around 5 mins, I think you could get it to stretch to 15-20 mins but too thin a mix and it...

If made before march this year, bin it as phil says above, they had severe supply probs for the previous few years as one of the chemical came from a specific spot in Iraq and was not available. They tried to use something else instead and blamed it not working on every buyers apparent...

@Reffc traditionally, veneers up to 1/8" were ironed on using hide glue after that or on curved work they were pressed using sandbags kept in an oven or with heated cauls. It works, just takes longer and you need a good iron

As you are using MRMDF (no great risk of the ground moving as the weather changes), just make sure your balancing veneer is the same thickness as the herringbone and that you lay it in strips as wide as the apex to apex width of the pattern. Also lay the balance strips alternating face up and...

isopon body filler for cars. how quick it sets up depends on how much hardener you put in. It also sticks like snot. I use it for edges on mdf before painting all the time and as a background for all my gilding work

Have you checked to see if it has a Tinder profile?

With regards to Faithfull planes the #6s and up seem to come in an easier state to fettle thane the lower numbers. I don't know if this is due to them being given longer to season before being machined due to their size of casting. But the lower numbers are definitely not given long enough...

The manufacturer was in all probability Mathieson at their main Saracen works near Glasgow Cross. They made their own branded tools there (most notably planes) along with contracted unbranded production runs for other resellers.. More info below...

We have Richard, at the last one:D on the saturday I had a cork fedora on, the only notable thing about me. We chatted for about 10 mins or so. If I can go, I'll be wearing it again 🤠 Actually anyone from my way fancy going and sharing fuel costs, I'll be taking the Sedona (if I can go)...

Peter announced a couple of months back he couldn't attend. I forgot it was on. need to see if I can make it

Phew I wish:rolleyes:

If you moved those deck chair frames on the right of the pic, you'd have room to budge the panel saw over and have a bit more room;) :p

Biscuits provide the ability to align thing not strength, dowels do provide strength but can be difficult to align properly. Have you thought about spliced mitres or even looking at some of the japanese/chinese furniture joints that provide both

I thought having the CNC lathe so close to the kitchen sink was a bit dodgy myself

Or keep warm and save loads by using a stiff broom

How about 8 cabinet doors (frame and panel) with oak lancet Gothic arches with trefoil and copper trellis inserts with copper leaf gilded Ogee trim and 7 drawers to match? Just to save me doing them for the kitchen cabinets I've been fitting

@devonwoody do you mean this, if so then yes

It shows the driver feels that the T5 was an evolutionary step backwards
