    Hi can anyone point me in the right direction for the best spray system for a small workshop. I was wondering if there are ones that don't use a compressor and still can produce professional results (with practise) cheers Ian

    Rocking box

    I will second Mick - but you will always find there will be a slight rocking (perhaps 0.5mm) and it should be removed on a flat piece of MDF covered with sand paper, A gentle circular sanding action will work. One more thing is to check you are on a flat surface to begin with. HTH Ian

    Brief Case

    Mitres are not very strong by themselves - I would add some keys to the out side or if you don't want them to be seen and the inside is being lined then add to the inside. I use the internal type which consists of L shaped pieces of 6mm plywood set into routed grooves. Will keep them together...

    Brief Case

    I know what your saying but it will still want to move and if it were me I would want to minimise that and laminate several pieces. Just my opinion Ian

    Brief Case

    I would be worried about using a solid lid and base out of one piece, if it were me I would make the top and base with veneers glued to a mdf core. If that is not an option then resaw some oak (of the side) and glue about 7 pieces together and plane to your thickness - this will help to help...

    Veneer softener recipes?

    No finishing issues with a shellac finish - I used it on oak burr which was very buckled and it worked great. Just make sure it gets well soaked - if it was just sprayed on with a mist spray bottle then you could have finishing issues as it won't go deep enough and when it gets its final sand...

    Veneer softener recipes?

    I use isopropyl alcohol but I think the rubbing alcohol would be fine, you might find that it has 2 percent of water in it rather than oil. I bought my alcohol from this guy http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/IPA-ISOPROPYL ... 331wt_1163 Best Ian

    Veneer softener recipes?

    This is what I use - it softens the veneer so it won't crack in the press and once dry stays flat for quite a while. • 4 parts water • 1 part alcohol • 2 part glycerine • 2 parts resin glue I use borden UL39 resin. Make up the mixture and soak the veneers one at a time for about 10mins, take...
