Might be worth looking at roofing suppliers as zinc is commonly used there.

Not sure what you mean by airbrush but what about a bicycle/foot pump if you need a bit more oomph?

You say the cabinet has been in the house for years. Have you kept the wood for doors in the same room as the cabinet? If not I would condition it to an equivalent moisture content before doing anything else (this will buy you some time :) ) We tend to keep our houses relatively stable so...

A good source of images is Instagram, but of limited use lately unless you can sign in. I'm sure there is a lot of Mackintosh stuff on there? That doesn't look like oak though.

The best thing about that exhibition was you were allowed to examine the furniture, open the drawers, sit on the seats. Not a single 'Do Not Touch' sign in sight. Jason Heap ran it.

I've not used it but this website keeps cropping up in relation to models for 3D printers Thingiverse

I did wonder about that!!!

How much to hire one for the weekend?

maybe if you ask nicely :) The juggernaut he created is beyond his control. As a traded company they have a duty to maximise profits for their shareholders. Economics trump Ethics.

Don't worry, the cynic in me says this is more a calculated marketing ploy, but it is a start?

Have you seen that Ikea are now planning a buy-back scheme to re-purpose unwanted items - a response to the waste we are creating. There may be a return to the 'buy good, buy once' approach that our grandparents used live by. Hold on to your trolley, it might become valuable?

I'm assuming he's using T&G??

I have only made one set of gates (still standing) with T&G boards. I left about 2mm between boards (I recall using a nail as a spacer?) and only nailed each board on one edge so that it was free to move - the other edge is held in place by the next board's T&G. It's a matter of trial and error...

Received an email this morning to say this annual exhibition is now permanently closed. Haven't had the time to go the last two years but it was always a good day out.

I applaud you for trying to stop this family history getting lost. Good luck in your quest.

A question for those that watched it - I don't have sky - is the program likely to encourage or discourage people from trying this woodworking malarkey? Or is it too early to tell?

Just my opinion but that knuckle next to the bead looks odd. Have you thought about using soss hinges?

This it?

Know anyone with a 3D printer?

It's piqued my interest now! Just PM'd you.
