i used this stuff earlier in the year, too early to honestly tell you if it has done any good but everbuild is a good enough brand, would expect it to be ok, claims to be suitable for outdoor use...

I don't have jig, but on the odd occasion I'd needed to use a pocket hole, and access allows, I've drilled into the wood in the opposite direction that I would screw, ie I've put a pilot hole in from the end of the wood, which allows me a better control of where the screw will come out, then I...

not sure the punches are brass, they could just appear a warm tone in the photo I agree on the second tool, more angles to see, and perhaps something for scale

i'm guessing the door

steve I suggest you contact heronviewer (look on the first page of this thread) by Private Message, as he has been able to provide others with an english pdf. To do this hover over the name, then click 'start conversation'. I think I'm right in saying you need to have posted at least 3 times...

what sort of finish are you looking to get, for pallet wood I'd have said the holes, knocks, damage is part of the charm so I'd be looking to heighten it with something like black epoxy

I agree, splines would give a bit of flair to the corners

I used a company in taunton, a few years ago now, but a think it was this firm Foam cut to size, suppliers of upholstery foam,replacement foam cushions , memory foam, foam mattresses - The Foam Shop quite a lot on their site but I see they do some half sheets for under a tenner, notsure what...

does anyone have any recommendations for AG1 size button batteries, I've exhausted my old stock, which were getting less and less reliable. looking on amazon there are very few brands that I recognize, so are they all pretty much the same quality?

I don't know much about pillar drills, but that does look like it needs quite a lot of work, I'd definately want to know what the inside look like, I see there's no plug on it, but I'd want to see and hear it working.

a fair point, but hard to know exactly how best to dry things in the winter

thank you everyone for the replies, I'm going to knock the idea of leather on the head, at least for this project, now I'm looking into a leather holster for a tape measure.

thank you for using your first message to reply to my thread. I like the lookof the oval conduit I have used conduit, stationary binders, hose etc for this sort of job before, however I have a load of leather scraps and I thought this would be a good way to use some of them up. I think I'll...

It isn't a double edge blade, that is just an image I found to show (badly it turns out) what I was talking about, it is just a simple panel saw, just a smaller size for a toolbox A quick google search on testing for chrome tanning gave me these two methods, I'll try these on some offcuts...

Is there a way to test for chrome tanning? when you say welt do you mean the additional layer of leather? Also if I were to cut out the centre of the sheath so that the metal has airflow would that be enough to prevent rust? as per my 10 second photoshop below

As far as I can see even a 4mm strap really wouldn't be sufficent, you'd need to attach the strap edge-on to have any real strength, or an L shape cross section. that assumes that you are determined to go for hairpin legs, I think the traditional table construction with aprons might offer more...

hadn't considered leather as causing rust, are you saying it would hold moisture on the blade?

I'd tend to agree with this, hard to say without seeing it in the flesh, but I can see no reason for an offset handle. it would probably be awkard to use, so religated to use as a pry bar / rough chisel / paint can opener etc, hence the mushrooming

What glue did you use?

yes, but I think it would be a bit clumsy in the sheath
