Use Zinsser Bulls Eye 123 (the blue tin), to prime it, then use whatever other folk here advise for top coats.

Not quite sure what you're asking. Can you explain it for simpletons?

Bm101, I've got a friend that's got a stupid friend like your theoretical friend. My friend is a painter and decorator and uses zinsser B-I-N (The red tin) for knot sealing. (Interior). Don't ask me how my friend's stupid friend knew the answer to your theoretical friend's question!!

Gift horse and mouth springs to mind - Grab every last bit of it you can - As Lazurus says, they'll almost certainly be plenty of useable timber. If you can't store it all, let me know and if you are within reasonable(ish!) distance of the west midlands, i'll happily come and 'assist' with...

Yes. agree with earlier advice to get a joint account set up if not already, e.g.with spouse/partner or offspring/solicitor/trusted other, if no spouse / partner in the picture, as this will continue to operate even after death of one party. We hadn't done this when my dad died as a sole...

They are really lovely specimens, Bob. An aikido (I think?), club use the dojo where my kids do judo and the swords in their rack aren't a patch on those beauties you've made. Well done, sir. (And apologies for the childish comments earlier) Greg the Philistine

They are really cute. Nice work, JtD. Am I right thinking the pin eyes are just the pin head with a very short piece of the shaft, just to locate them into drilled holes? Greg

Oh, I like that shelf, Mike. And Bob did include a small piece of mirror!! I like the Samurai swords someone left on your nice shelf, SunnyB =D>

Clever idea. Thanks for posting

Looking good from here. Regarding resources - Mike O'Donnell's 'Turning Green Wood' is a really clear, illustrated guide - Very easy to follow, (though not necessarily replicate!!)

Nice one DB. Like yer legs!

Naughty boys!

It's probably poor prep of substrate previously, as said above. If the surface is OK, even if still glossy, use Zinsser 1-2-3 (the blue tin) as a primer straight over the gloss - no rubbing down. It really does work. After the zinsser, (which will of course have 'show-through', as it's just a...

I think footballers DO get away with it - week in, week out. Until they start dealing with it consistently and firmly, and the refs get backed up by the authorities and commentators, it'll go on. How about docking points from the club, (retrospectively if nec)? Sorry, slightly off-topic mini-rant.

Some great work there, PT. =D> Thanks for sharing

Guy arrives at the Pearly Gates and St Peter welcomes him in. The guy notices a wall full of clocks at different times. When he asks what that's about, St P says each one represents a person's lies. For example, top left is Mother Teresa's - no movement, bang on 12.00. A few clocks along is Abe...

I don't know the definitive answer, but I would counsel caution - Don't assume they are compatible unless you get a confirmation from the seller. (Incompatibility may be reason for sale). (hammer)

Hi gents That's really helpful. Thanks for your speedy responses I'll let him know Greg

Evening Folks, A friend who's Dad has passed away and would like to move his old lathe has asked me to see if any of you good people know; The model of this lathe The dismantling and transportability - i.e. Is it relatively straightforward or specialist? Many thanks in advance, Greg
