They are fantastic models, well done. How long does it take to complete one? How many have you made? Anymore pics, they are fabulous.

I've used blo, and it's fine, paul sellers uses shellac, i think.

Yep. They had a place in near Weedon in Northants which was great. They made firewood and worktops as well as selling hardwood. The sales bit transferred to Droitwich, I think the firewood and manufacturing may still be operating in Weedon. Then Droitwich closed, and we lost a valuable source of...

Bit like Nic, I would rather spend my money with local vendors, I'd rather not be buying stuff from China if I can help it. That said I relented and bought a pair of the red alloy corner square and clamp combinations. I was pleasantly surprised. Delivery was 3 days as promised. The square feels...

Thanks Fellas, I think I'll try the neat PVA, all teh best.

A friend of my dear lady wife has asked me to do some work on an old tea tray. She has lined the tray with some very attractive flowery wallpaper and she wants me to 'waterproof' the paper. Its isn't worth getting polycarbonate or glass cut, as it is not a valuable piece. I assume that any kind...

Eye protection an absolute must. I used cold chisels to get behind tiles and lever them off. As you lever it the tile will flex minutely, but the glaze won't, and you will get fine splinters of glaze flying off from where the tile breaks. They are razor sharp and you don't want one in your eye...

Lovely, lovely work, brilliant craftsmanship. You need to change your name to Grinling.

Folks thanks for all the input, it is much appreciated, I've passed it all on to her, and as its her money, I@ll leave her to make up her mind. Thanks for the thought about Gabions Rob.. I'm going to explore that.

Hiya, my daughter is doing some landscaping work, and she is looking to get rid of an 18in high retaining wall and replace it with sleepers. She asked me whether they should go for Oak or softwood. The softwood is 'treated' and I guess the Oak is or could be given a coat of preservative. Her...

The RUC, sorry, PSNI? There is also the Civil Nuclear Constabulary.. the police force based at nuclear generation sites. Fully tooled up with automatic weapons.

I think you've done a good job there, the dark accents on the bowl actually detract from the 'defects' and lessen its impact. I quite like the look you have achieved.
