I have been using 1/64th for years now on my model gliders and get 1' x 4' sheets of birch ply for about £42 a sheet, so £30 is about right. This lot may be able to help? Or if they don't sell it then to put you in the right direction...

I can't remember them doing anything about a candelabra :dunno:]

Not in England True with SWMBO though :eek:

5 Bits of Accoya in close formation I wondered what it would turn out like and I quite like it. Accoya takes a lovely finish, but it wasn't the easiest wood to turn when segmented.

On the ply, yes I did put a thin veneer on the underside, but it didn't do any good. On the MDF, No I didn't veneer the back. I got got fed-up with it and chucked it at the back of a shelf. Several years later I found it again and it was flat!

I made up a piece like a Batternburg cake of the walnut and holly. Then cut thin slices, about 1/16th" thick, and they were stuck to the box. The first itme I tried that method was on a chess baord and when it dried on the 1/4" thick ply to my horror it warped the ply as the glue dried. So I...

I forgot to say that the box is parana pine and the squares are black walnut and holly. I will be putting a black walnut edging around the box edge.

This is my version It's going to be a games box. Chess draughts and back gammon when I finally get to it again. The board pieces are a Batternberg cake sliced and glued to a band saw box

I would go for the Titebond III. I have just received another US pint of it yesterday as I was running out. Everbuild do some good stuff, but I don't know the D4 so can't comment.

Bradley, can I suggest that you start with something small and probably spindle turning? That's to get some experience in how to turn and how to use the different tools. Most of us have, I suspect, far more gouges and tool than we ever really use and you only need a few to do most jobs. I...

You missed some of the best bits mate. https://ifunny.co/picture/i-m-tired-of-being-specialist-in-infectious-diseases-and-s0DHe54r8

2s up for the DIY. Easy to get it correct, just use an A4 page corner.

Well, my latest and it seems that my balls are multiplying? Left is mine beech and cedar. Right is a commission, black walnut and beech and the ball is because I like turning balls. Not sure what wood that is?

4" face plate with a 2" thick piece of pine screwed to it and turned down to the face plate size. True the face and score several rings on the face then when you are mounting smaller bits you can true it up a lot easier. Glue your blank onto the sacrificial block face with a glue gun and leave...

Throw away/ burn/ditch wooden off cuts! o_O They ain't like money you know! They don't grow on trees you know !

I'm glad you got it sorted Ben. There is some lovely spalting on your bowl mate.

We have a trelis at the end of our garden and they have parked on the top and krappped all over the roses below, so I stretched a length of the green plastic covered fence wire about 3" above it. That stopped them landing and unless you look very hard you can't see it.

2 on order, ta :cool:

Firm but soft sanding blocks? Going back to Cabinet man's swimming noodle above. I have used bits of the swimming baguettes/noodles we had in France. About a 4" long bit cut down the centre and some sticky backed velcro on it and a piece of Rhynogrip adhesive on it and you have a block that...
