Hi all. Being a complete newbie to the world of hardwoods :oops: , I'm not at all good at identifying them visually or otherwise. Do any of you good folk know of a hardwood that, when you cut it or plane it, it smells of cola??? :shock: The reason being, I was dismantling a small table which...

Jim. Lovely work on the doors, There. :wink: Very satisfying, I'll bet. Alf wrote: You're nuts :lol: Alf and Adam. Now you know what I have to go through every time I work on anything of reasonable size or length. It's out into the garden with the T/S (cheapo), the mitre saw, the...

Hi Waka, welcome back. The link is ... www.netscape.com Then go to 'community' and then My Webpage Any probs just ask :wink: Goin' to bed now..zzzz :D Gary

Now that is a gloat!! :wink: Well done. Its not often you get that kind of opportunity so you have to take it. Enjoy the timber, devon. Gary

Oh my, Oh my, Oh my!! Damn nice, those! Tell me though, do you just have the bench for display purposes as there is a great absence of shavings around!! :P If I had a *collection* of those I wouldn't be able to put them down!! Bench is too clean aswell :D Maybe thats the the problem...

Thats some fine lengths. Could have done with that for the garden benches just made for TPTB. Any pics??? Come on devon, lets have the real gloat...the cost?? :D Or are you sparing us the agony? Gary

Not tried this, but if you cut an angle at the difference between 45 and the angle you require - say 15 deg. for a 60 deg. cut - on a piece of timber, then clamp this on the bed and use it as a guide fence. Then run your wood along this 15deg. face and it should cut at 60 deg. :wink: I...

Yes, but would any of us be able to afford it, Aragorn!?! :D Re-mortgage, maybe?? :shock: Gary

Cheers Philly. I'll try it this weekend (weather permitting) on a rear leg inside piece. I can't see it harming it any though. I guess the worst that can happen is that it wont soak and it'll get wiped off. Maybe it's me that is impatient, Philly!! :D Ta muchly guys for all your help Gary

Wow Chris! That is just superb. I only wish I had the time/money/skills/experience to create a piece of furniture, nay, ART such as that!! :wink: Now that your cranium has swelled to the appropriate dimensions I shall go and take the tutorial on your website and study!! :D Worthy of...

I've heard somewhere too that most lab benches were iroko. My memory fails me as to where though.. :? How much?? (quantity and cost, please) Gary awaiting a good gloat from devon......

Thanks Tony and Aragorn. I was beginning to think no one was talking to me!! I've tried it on bare pine and it goes on nicely. Tried it on a bit of unidentified hardwood, too and that looks nice. As for 'more Cuprinol' I found that with two coats, once it is dry it left a kind of powdery...

Wlcome Alberto. Very.very nice work there! :wink: Good photography too. It's the Archivio for me too, closely followed by the Credenzin. I like the simple lines on that one. Very cool 8) Are your dovetails done by hand? They're a nice touch. Well done!! Gary

Nobody have any advice? At all? Have I really stumped the whole community? :shock: Ah, well. Never mind :cry: Gary <...despondenly goes off to make a brew....>

I've made a garden bench from some pine which I 'rescued', and to fit in with the decking it has had a couple of coats of Cuprinol. My main query is can I apply teak oil for protection over the Cuprinol or will it make a hash of the whole thing? Also is teak oil a suitable finish for bare pine...

Adam. For my future use, please explain the acronym NMA to an idiot. (i.e. ME) :oops: Ta muchly Gary
