Thanks Jason. The finish was done, by filling the grain with Morell's grain filler followed by Morell's primer and 65% sheen water based lacquer. I must admit, there is a great deal of satisfaction with spray finishing that I never got with brush finishing

The gap between the doors is pretty small. I think the photo has just emphasised it more than it actually is. My only gripe, is that I wish I had made the unit 100mm or so shorter on the height. Having put the TV on the top it does look a little out of proportion. Still, it was fun to make

If anyone is interested, the couse was a really great day. The instructor Rob Buckley took us through the chemistry of welding and then sowed us how to ARC and MIG weld. If you want to learn how to weld, so that you can tackle your own small projects then I would give the Dorset Centre for...

Thanks for all the positive posts. The design construction was as follows. 1. I made a foam former using B&Q orange insulation board. 2. I then vacuum laminated 1.5mm skin and 5mm aero ply to a thickness of 20mm. The former represented a side of the carcass, so I made 2 sides. 3...

Well, after a fair few weekends, I have finally completed my retro tv cabinet. I just need to finish spraying the shelves, but I could not wait to upload the photos. The only annoyance, is the left door had a slight twist in it. I might try twisting it back with a clamp. Here are the pictures.

Thanks Jim.

Thanks.

That is a depressing thought. What about if I try slitting the venner with a knife and get some glue into the slit ? I suppose I don't have a lot to lose.

I used urea 2 part glue. Resin + powder hardener.

Hi, I have just sprayed a couple of veneered doors and annoying a few bubbles have developed where the veneer must not have glued to the substrate. I have heard people say you can inject glue into the bubble, but as I am not a diabetic or a herion user I don't have any needles to hand. Are...

Thanks, but I paid my monies on Thursday. I will make a note though, as I agree with you all that one day is not enough. I may also need your services should I decide to go ahead with my cnc build, as to have an experienced welder help me with the project would be great. Thanks

I just hope it goes ahead. Just for reference. A lot of the tech colleges run evening courses over 5 weeks. You might find something more local that way ?

I am planning on attending a one day welding course next Wednesday. It is an extra day due to the following week being sold out. The reason I am posting is that I was told today that as it is only me booked on for that day that they will most likely not run the course. Jst wanted to see...

Thanks Brian. You seem to be well up on this stuff. Do you know of a good source for 2mm para 40 shore ?

Any chance you can find out what thickness liner it is ?

Just found this via google and it is very cheap. I have found out that epdm has elongation of 350%. So plenty of stretch

The membrane is basically the bag. Nothing more complex than that

The discrete ones. I think I will just get on and order them.

Anyone know where I can buy these online, without being stung stupid postal rates. One company wanted to charged me £4.25. I only need 2 of them. Thanks

But will it have the same stretch characteristics as the latex membrane will. That stuff has 600% elongation.
