Hi All Does anyone have a source for a slow cure wood glue. I have tried epoxy but this can leave a dark glue line. Cheers Ian

You would be best using machine screws for the smaller sizes from here http://www.modern-screws.co.uk/ba-screws.php email them and they will advise. As for No.2 and No.3 x 5x8 this company supplies them http://www.ahc-camberley.co.uk/catalog/ ... ts_id=1120 HTH Ian

Hi All I need 2 pens turned from curly maple and walnut which I will supply, glossy finish please. I am looking for the workings to be high end and not the standard gold plated ones. Length to be close to 160mm, would like the walnut to be if possible about 70% of the pen, this is for a...

Hi All Just thought I would post this - it is my latest commission which I haven't started yet but have modelled it in Sketchup and rendered in Kertythea. Just wanted to show the benefits of Sketchup and kerkythea combined that can give your customer something to chew on. Also easy to show...
