A waterproof laquer which is available in a number of sheen levels from the likes of Morrrel would be ideal, you could also get stain there if you're wanting to colour them. You would get several coats on in a day as its quick drying and it's possible to get a lovely finish brushing, which you...

That was my thoughts as well after looking at the sites recommended. I'm assuming its the same steel, only galvanised ?

Thanks everyone

Where would I be able to get the black pipe that is used for pipe clamps. I've tried plumb centre etc but but can't see it listed ?

My intention was a pocket screw of decent length in a properly formed hole, not ideal but if it was angled so there was a decent amount of timber left under it to pull against would definitly pull everything together

Nice job Bob but not a colour I would have chose. I've had an aversion to green kitchens since I installed a one years ago at Gateshead. Green kitchen with green worktops and green appliances and she thought it was lovely, Ive never seen anything as hidious either before or since :oops:

I've got all the components to give this a try, how strong does the solution of washing soda need to be and can someone confirm the negative from the battery charger goes to the tool and the positive to the piece of sacrificial steel bar

I bought mine before spiral blocks were available Brian and knew nothing about planer blades in general, but the salesman did say that tersa were an option. I would have definitely chosen them over Felders if I'd been more knowledgable as they're much more commonly available. Like you I'd...

Be interesting to find out the conclusion of this as I'm due a set of blades as well (410). If I'd known what I know now when I ordered my machine I'd have gone for tersa

Very interesting and useful thread, I have no knowledge at all on the subject so handy to refer to.

Coming along nicely Steve and very entertaining reading

Rich people aren't always spenders. The property I'm in was previously owned by a man who had the biggest coal business in the area, when coal was the main heating fuel. He had it from new around 60 years ago until he and his wife died about 20 years ago. He had a Rolls Royce but hadnt spent a...

No Aidan, I can also remember some early events

Yes

I get it done free on the rare occasion it happens

Usually called light pelmet Steve

Always found they functioned better hung seperately with the corner post attached to one
