Excellent work an a lovely finish to them. It sounds like you are building a collection of them and perhaps you will be selling them soon. Malcolm

I just finish the void that takes the drawer in the same way that the outer box is finished. However, I have seen the inner void flocked and it does look good. Must give it a try sometime, although with the drawer going in and out, that may get damaged and not look too good after a short time. I...

Well done pops92, I bet they were delighted with them. Malcolm

Without sealing after sanding, the spalted woods may absorb far too much. I havn't tried oil directly onto spalted wood, but as the spalting is a little like a straw filled with sawdust, it will go straight through. When you are going to flock the box drawers, you definately need to seal the...

Well done Phill, that's the way to do it. I haven't done any shows myself as I wouldn't want to sit around for hours on a stall, but you seem to have cracked it. Now get working on the next lot. Malcolm

Hi Martin, I see that sunnybob has beaten me to it. When I started back in woodwork, only about 3-4 years ago, I was reading up on dozens of sites, books, videos etc, several of which were stating that the two wheels need to be co-planer and if not, you would have problems. I even tried to make...

I would urge anyone NOT to make adjustments of the wheels. That bandsaw will work well if you know how to tune it and by now the OP probably does. If you don't jjf, then please say so and I'm sure there will be many members to help, but anyone new to bandsaws can be helped with the following...

I think he got it!. Malcolm

I appreciate that Andy, but have gone ahead with the Varnish route. I have not used that before but have favoured Tru-Oil which I use on my bandsaw boxes a lot. I love it. I thought it may not be quite hard enough for an inlaid busy coffee table, Will see what happens and at worst I will only...

Don't worry, I've gone ahead without waiting. Thanks. Malcolm

Tuffsaw is a one man operation, not a huge factory with people waiting on the phone or at the computer and his site does say that he may not get back immediatly. However, he will get back as he always does, but may be taking time to fill orders. He cannot be in two places at the same time. They...

Hi Chris, I have not moved away from Tru-Oil, but was unsure if it was suitable for the coffee table that needs re-surfacing. Thne response I have had is not as good as I had hoped. It is like pulling teeth to get information on what I would have thought was a subject that a lot of members knew...

Sykes Timber is not too far from you and has loads of allsorts. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Syk ... d-1.535221 Malcolm

I picked up some Ronseal Interior Satin Varnish with 'diamond hard' protection that is water based, but thought afterwards that I may have made a mistake and should have bought poly. ??? I could take it back to exchange ? Malcolm

If you were to put your location on your Profile information, you may be nearby someone who could show or help you with any problems you have. That is one of the benefits of the UKW forum, lots of members being prepared to help others in a practical way. Just putting (UK) is not so helpful for...

:lol: :lol: :lol: Thanks guys

Welcome Chris, hope you get as much out of the forum as the rest of us. You only have to ask questions and should get a load of replies that may completly confuse some members. Malcolm

That will keep you out of mischief for a while. Malcolm

........ For some reason this scene really “stayed with me” – even decades later. Burnt into your memory!
