Nice one, looks like a nice job

Hi I'm selling this itech fine filter canister, it fits a 500mm extractor drum. It's in great condition and is only around 1 year old. Only selling as I've bought a 2 bag system that came with it's own filters. I paid £180 from Scott and Sergeant I'm after £90 collection from Leeds Thanks...

Looks good to me, when I was first trying to get my head round this I found it easier to visualise it as an overlay cabinet within an inset.

I did give the wire wool a wash before hand but I'm not sure how needed it was. I added the washing liquid to the solution as I saw an article on fine woodworking saying that it helped with open grain timber getting even distribution

I'll give that a test

I used a solution white vinegar and wire wool brewed for 48 hrs, then diluted with more vinegar and a drop of fairy liquid

Thanks, yes drawer fronts

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Yes that makes sense that an oil based finish will blacken it. It sounds like I'll have to compromise somewhere either in keeping the blue or in the touch of the fronts (I wanted to use an oil or wax based finish to give the textured fronts a nice feel...

Possibly but ideally I'd like to avoid a film finish

Hi I've ebonized some oak on some drawer fronts and like the blue tones this has produced. I've tested putting fiddes hard wax oil over the top of the ebonized oak and this turns the oak very black, I would prefer to keep the blue tones of the unfinished ebonized fronts. Does anyone know a...

I've done it with butts and sliders (which I prefer) or fixed hinges with dummy butts. Both ways I build a 636mm cab with couple of pieces of carcass material inside packing the fridge either side. ( Effectively making it an overlay door within a frame) If that makes sense Hopefully this...

I have used the 120mm ones on my workshop. They span the 5ms fine with no roof timbers, just go wall plate to wall plate

Thanks I'll give it a go

A neighbour has gifted me some veneer from her late husband. Some has water damage and some has mould. It's there a way to remove the mould without damaging or bleaching the veneer? Cheers

Not necessarily, I set up around 3 1/2 years ago. I had the benefit of building a small workspace on my land and acquiring tools before making the jump. But I've had constant work (mainly fitted furniture and handmade kitchens) and for the last couple of years been booked up well in advance. I...

Great info thanks. This is a decent brand I think, I've seen it recommended on here before and it's from UK seller. £290 Inc vat and dust/ water protected Sounds like 1.5 will be fine then Thanks

Hi, I'm looking to fit a vfd to my wadkin bzb 20 bandsaw, ( I'm currently running it off a static converter but not getting enough power from the motor) It has a 1.5kw 3 phase motor, I'm looking at fitting an invertek ode 3. My question is should I get the 1.5kw vfd that runs at 150% for 60...

I've only been self employed for 3 years. Being on domestic sites labouring before that meant I knew that I didn't want to go down that route. I'd love to build freestanding furniture but need to pay the bills so that left me with mainly fitted furniture work. I noticed, especially on...
