Post a photo of the last thing you made

Yes, what a mess.

I've used briwax on the top - do you think that would be enough, or should I put something over it. Will water based poly adhere to wax?

My original response was to this, but forgot to quote and it spanned another page so it wasn't clear what I was talking about, which is about right.

I've waxed a table top in the past and it hasn't I'm afraid. I'm going to get some Manns wax and polish remover and start again...one day when I have nothing better to do with my time.

Got it, thank you for clarifying! I'll have a think about what I can do with it

Just made this for the local church.

Just plumbed in the last kitchen unit made using an old tabletop for the worktop and an inset sink with no draining board. Why make a sink like that I'll never know... but it was free from a friend. Anyroad, Here's the drainer I made out of some ash from the wood pile.

I decided against having the board itself sloping inside the sides (KISS!) and, instead, opted for some rubber feet recessed to different depths to provide a gentle (adjustable) slope and a wee bit of air gap underneath the thing.

The finish was a coat of Osmo conditioner with two coats of poly-x matt on top.

Been a long time since my workshop was up and running (house move - twice! plus splitting up from wife, meeting someone else, getting engaged, etc.) but I felt left out so hopefully this will do. My gorgeous daughter Felicity, now 14 months old :mrgreen:

She looks very happy, how it should be. [And so do you!]

Best days work you've ever done =D>
Enjoy her, they ain't babies for long.
My two princesses are 22 and 18, they terrify me :shock:

Looks like she got a good upper cut developing. Watch out!

Haha, that's the boss in the picture, not me

Indeed she has, I still have the bruises lol. She's at the "this" and "mine" stage at the mo, certainly a challenge. Wouldn't change her for the world.

Finally installed my first sliding sash window.

Just need to fit the catch and paint the staff bead tomorrow.

Oh. And put the kitchen sink back in!

 

[Fitzroy]

Super window! Took one of mine apart last week to decide if I could retrofit double glazing or would need new sashes and or boxes, think I'll be able to retrofit but doubt they will look as smart as yours.

 

[mikefab]

Thanks Fitzroy! Good luck!

I've finally completed my nut bowl, finished with 4 layers of tung oil, 3-4 layers of dewaxed shellac, then some black wax to fill in the grain. Made with hand tools only.

That's really nice! Practical too with the sloped insides. Nice one!

Excellent carved bowl, unusual on here and nice to see.

How big is it?

Well done, thetyreman =D>

Lovely bowl. Did you carve that by hand or with a power carver?

thanks, I used a gouge to carve it by hand, and spokeshave for the shape underneath, no power tools.
