All the people with a manufacturing background are busy manufacturing on a Thursday afternoon!

Well they both had two engines, not much else in common

Here’s a US supplier http://deco-cocktailcabinets.com/catalog/i88.html Looking at the way it works, you could make your own easily enough

A hammer and chisel will do this easily, if you can’t do it without expensive machines, I bet you can’t do it with them either.

Buy a new blade and try that. I’d say it’s not horrendous and if it’s cutting straight you’re most of the way there

That size isn’t particularly unusual, but you’ll have to accept some form of shake and knots as its come from an old tree, they tend to pick up defects over time. I’d go for veneers at that size of you want it clean

The thing about waiting for “normal” to return, is it probably never will.

Sounds like a technique problem to me, try practicing more till the problem isn’t there or use a grinding guide and get there now. Aidan

Birch ply does not do well outside, make sure you paint it well Aidan

Next up, he’s off to the local Chinese with a drawing of the kind of food he’d like, because just asking for a #40 is too easy!

Varnish on birch ply edges works well, remember to round the transition to/from the edge

Do you not get told when you order and get a text 10-minutes later that it’s ready?

Sounds like you’re having problems with the modern world. Maybe find a nice little hardware store with a bloke in a brown coat to help you from the other side of the counter and wrote you a receipt on carbon paper? How ironic you’re complaining about it on the internet which you could have used...

Osmo UV isn’t for horizontal surfaces, it peels up on those, but for verticals it’s great. sounds mad but it really does behave that way

Any wood supplier near a yacht location has it

The problem with that method is the PVA expands the wood and the iron dries it out again, having just stuck it to something that doesn’t want to move, so it can crack quite easily, same with the iron-on glue. I’m more of a wet PVA and vacuum bag person now but if I didn’t have them, I’d probably...

I should imagine for a single dog anything that sticks in the hole will do. For using an MFT for any of its more useful functions then you need more than one and having them highly similar becomes somewhat more important.

All aluminium is surface oxidised, you can remove it but it re-oxidises in milliseconds, sanding it is just polishing it really. You can stick plastic to boards with contact adhesive, I had 2mm PVC on MDF for several years and it worked just fine. Your top sounds quite shallow for anything...

As in, robbin you for it?! I crack myself up sometimes

Maple is less common over here as it doesn’t grow so much. If you’re not dead set on the species some ripple ash is easily as impressive as ripple maple and way cheaper too, but open grained
