Hi all, I have made a little oak coat rack out of some scrap and was wondering what the best finish would be for it. Just want to protect it really from damp / wet coats but still let the grain show through. Cheers Mark

Hi HeliGav, Just an idea to keep the costs down and that is look for a local building surplus yard and you could save a few quid on the boards. There is one near me (a tad to far for you though :P) that I can get 18mm ply from for about £10, sometimes it is brand new others it was used as...

I would definitely go along with buying the 3D printer. Just waiting for them to drop to the £100-£200 mark. I would say a couple of years and it will be there.
