    Expoy filled coffee table

    I will add that my wife is great with the camera, so once the legs are on this I’ll get her to take some decent quality pics.

    Expoy filled coffee table

    There are 2 ways to do it. In this case, I made a casting “bath” with mdf and then lined it with release tape. This is a fancy word for parcel tape! I did this because one board was slightly twisted, so I wanted the resin to fill the space underneath. I then clamp the boards in, taking the twist...

    Makita track saw. Cordless of corded?

    It was a festool ts55. It was an amazon warehouse deal. Was supposed to be a returned item, as new but with marks on the sustainer. The funny thing was that when I rang them they apologies and offered me a £30 discount, which wouldn’t even cover the missing blade! They clearly don’t check when...

    Makita track saw. Cordless of corded?

    After a bit more research, everything was getting great reviews cutting ply or sheet goods, only the festool was getting mentioned with hardwoods. Had a look on amazon and found an amazon warehouse deal with £100 because the packaging was damaged! Thanks very much for all the advice.

    Makita track saw. Cordless of corded?

    Thanks guys. I will use it mostly for trimming hardwood table tops to final dimension, so quality of cut is key. It is for workshop use and will be connected to a vac, so it doesn’t neccisarily have to be cordless, I just wanted to take advantage of the makita 18v system I currently have. Sounds...

    Makita track saw. Cordless of corded?

    I have the 18V makita batteries and I’m in the market for a track saw. The cordless makita reviews are all very good but only seem to feature 3/4” ply. I will predominantly use the saw for trimming up hardwood tables, 30-45mm, would I be better off with the corded version or does anyone have...

    Expoy filled coffee table

    I’ll Coat the wood the protect it, then polish the scratches out of the epoxy with cutting compound and then probably give the whole thing a coat of PolyX.

    Expoy filled coffee table

    Osmo PolyX. I have used it to finish Elm in the past and it really highlights the difference in grain across the wood. I’ll be applying finish before polish, so I’ll take some pictures later in the week.

    Expoy filled coffee table

    Worked it out. These are after sanded to 240 grit. Will take it up to 2000 and then break out he polishing compound on the resin. The pigment is a metallic black to create the smokey effect.
