Ah ok. So the method I'm doing is called 'coopered'. I didn't know that. I thought about this part of the project quite a bit. I figured it was the only way to use the same timber as the box. Thanks for you're help. Lee.

Thanks Everybody :D Yes I am well pleased with it. Its been hard work. I think I've done ok doing a full time job and getting the new workshop built since christmas. I have thought about doing the walls and ceilings white. Its probably a job I can do in the summer when I can open up the big...

Thanks all, I hope its going to be very strong. Should be no problem for George to Jump on it :D The lid will be curved anyway, so it discourage them from Jumping on it anyway. Dedee- I have made a template for the curve, which I intend to 'plank' then plane/sand to a smooth curve. If...

Ha Ha, they must like talking to Police officers! Do they all still hang out there? :D

Hi Richard, Is the Stoney Creek Dairy Still there. They did Icecream called 'Old tin Roof'. It was my favourite! I've not been over since '99. My Aunt works in the Dental office near the Dairy. Lee.

JFC- I dent have any, I wish I did :( But i do know you can get it from craft supplies. The size you want is just about the same size as am electric guitar blank. Look in the 'Tonewoods' section. You should find what you want. Cheers Lee.

I think I might be cutting it a bit fine (sic) but I wanted to have a go at the comp. I've been trying to get the workshop finished and Its pretty much done now. Anyway, this will be only the 3rd thing I've ever made (apart from the workshop) so be gentle with me :oops: SWMBO has been...

Hello all, Well I finally have the workshop where I consider it to be finished :D I'm sure I will find lots of bits and pieces to do when time allows. I'm now in a position to actually start making stuff, I've started project #3 today. It should also be entered in the competition as long...

Hi Richard, Warm welcome to you. Which end of Canada are you? My family are all from Hamilton. Nice work on the chair. Regards Lee. :D

If it has to be a tool erm.. Thicknesser. Although I really want more time and Material to play with. Lee. :-({|=

Maybe Arco http://www.arco.co.uk Will have what you need. They have a store in Trafford Park thats probably not too far from you. Lee.

Congrats on the new TS. When I collected my new BS a few weeks ago, it also had some gloop on the table. I used some medical alcohol to clean it of. Only took a few seconds.. Lee.

Its not the size, its what you do with it that counts. :D Lee

Hi Dave, Downloading it now. Thanks for that, I'm sure it will be very useful. Cheers Lee.

OK, is it possible to make the tile bigger than the piece you want to texture? i.e. so the grain pattern finishes at the edge of the object?

Just another thought. What about using some of the wood sample pictures from the Suppliers web sites. Or would that be a legal no-no. Lee

Thanks Nick too....

Thanks Steve, So I could just take a picture of the actual wood that I wanted to use for a project, and crop it down to a small tile? Then drag and drop into the texture folder? Lee

Nick, I've not figured it out yet, but I would like to create some of my own(textures not licenses). Do you know how this is done? I'm a newish user of version 5. Finding it a bit of a learning curve :oops: Cheers Lee.

Blimey BHT thats nice =D> Can wait to see that top with some finish on it. Keep us posted. Nice one. Lee.
