Not sure as I didn't buy it. It was a gift of sorts. :lol: I think any lambswool bonnet will do to be honest. When it starts to clog up just run it over a piece of wood using the wood as a scraper and the 'dust' will fling off. (use eye protection when doing this though.)

If they are anything like the rest of their Li Ion Batteries they won't last long! :evil:

I have finally got around to 'repairing' these Cheap Chinese tat cabinets. The larger one is almost finished with a wax finish and the smaller one needs sanding down yet. I have been doing a bit at a time in between my other jobs. I wouldn't say the finish from the factory was bad but I...

I have made a mental note never to drive in Russia. :lol: It never ceases to amaze me how stupid some drivers can be over here too. since being on a motorbike I seem to notice it more now. It seems we have a new signal to add to the Highway code now and that is you can pull out into the path of...

I use a lambswool bonnet for both the compound and the polish on a dedicated polishing machine. (just a cheapy silverline one) HTH.

This stuff is great for that: http://www.autopaintdoncaster.com/produ ... -1LTR.html :wink:

You may find that the 125mm disks are more expensive to buy than the 150mm ones. :wink:

I would also go for MRMDF. Very stable for a centrally heated home, easy to work and finish and no worries of anything bleeding through. JMHO. :wink:

Sorry Togs no WIP's this time as I was rushing. Yes traditional M&T on this. They are also stopped tenons.

No these are made traditionally I am afraid. Ha ha, a hobbit Ii like that. The smaller one is for a tiny cupboard in one of the bedrooms and the larger one is an under stairs cupboard.

I have just finished these doors as it was an extra little job for the customer who I built the oak wardrobes for. I shall be fitting them once the decorator has been and I return to fit the cornice. :D

Very nice to see. I can imagine how proud you must feel. it also makes a change to see an apprentice actually working and not texting on his mobile phone. :lol:

I am surprised that your local Lavers only stock oak, my 'local' one stocks a vast range of hardwoods.

What about veneered MDF then? Still derived from wood......even if it is dust!

Farecla G3 for initial rubbing and then Presta Glaze to get rid of the swirl marks and give a high gloss. HTH. :wink: (If the project is large then I would recommend a machine polisher)

I don't think I will comment on time taken on a project. :lol:

They turned out very well Mark, glad to be of help. :D

Most of it has been stated above so I won't repeat it. You will not earn a living with hand tools unless you have a very good reputation as a high end cabinet maker and can command high prices. You must advertise to start with or how does anyone know you are out there? Family and friends are...

Nice job. No disgrace in posting your projects even if you think they are bad. If you post them and there is anything wrong with them the guys on here would give good advice on how to improve your wood working. After all this is how we learn of how to better ourselves. i have often been a bit...

Well if the ones in my three Makita batteries are the same as the Panasonic ones I must be very unlucky to have those and three Ni Cad batteries give up in one year! they were both used almost daily and never miss treated. On the other hand one of the early Ni Cad's is still in top condition?? I...
