That was what I thought it was nice looking wood with a history .

Yup shelf life flakes had a re think 6 years kills it On another tangent I had some button lac and crunched it up a bit dissolved well no dramas ,that's the extent of my knowledge of short term memory ....

I would then I used Wenge tight at a fishes it was very nice go for it if it's hard .

My guess is the ferrules should have been on the back,looks home made it's about having fun .

I saw a piece on Warren the other day went to school with him ,all those years ago .I used a tube of stainless steel with a flame in the end to warm it up yell out if you need stuff,all good fun cheers John.

I have worked in pharmaceuticals for many years our rooms had the Intakes floor level two stage filters .Depends on the amount of particulate in the air you cant filter every thing ,if your missing a lot of dust with your extraction then the absolute filters will clog fast .

Yes they do they also want at the very least 200 percent profit

True if it works it's a good one ,the thing is a container is 5 k to ship so all the gear in it after Import duties has to be cheap as chips for the Importers I guess .I would like to make one out of Aluminium ect that would be a lot lighter .

It is a pretty heavy Item by the look of it you'd want a container full to make it worth while ,I could make one easy enough it does not need to hold the keel of a tall ship I guess.

Looks the part for thin tops and backs ,we should grab a tub and decant it 250ml would be a good size.

Hard decision there Bob moving on is difficult although we all need to do it some time I guess .I wish you all the best life has many more chapters for you I'm sure enjoy .

I put my dust extractor outside also the large belt sander these were wooping up the dust I noticed the belt sander motor fan was pushing the dust up and away from the belt making the extractor hose less efficient .I have since put a shield on the motor to deflect it any how I digress (as usual ) fi...

Nice jigs Mathews Timber in the east not many specialty sellers in Melb ,looks like you have time on your hands so you don't have to be Rushen.

I like the laser effect ,I'd go with BW golden tan unmistakable charm.

You are correct mr JF ,many years ago i used to buy it direct from Nathaniel Chittem .May have spelt name wrong before it was well known whoever has it now took the rites off him to sell it he used to get it in large containers ,I just keep the air gap low all good .

What I like the most Mr Simso is that you breath life back into an Instrument and put a smile on someones face ,that's where the reward is for me .

Now that's where the fun is ,you could have run a pocket tool path with a taper on it .

I think you hit the nail on the head wax with no silicon base something to carry it and there you go no snake oil mystery concoctions by the light of a full moon just stuff that works .

Nice work 16 jeeps that's a good number ,thank's for the pics.

I have used Ink on it went pretty dark then it was a bit murky ,that was a jet printing Ink with a shellac base.

I remember those mowers

To be honest Martin i think Olive oil and some lemon oil would work ,I think snake oil is a great product sold well :lol: I was trying to get a damp smell out of leather and used cloves and olive oil (never thought about the smell of cloves ) :o .If you look at french polish method the oil carries t...

I built my CNC to make most things not being production style things just a head stock here and a neck there inlay is a breeze that's one advantage .If someone want's a special tool then one or a dozen of those I would not charge more for it ,kind of like buying the helical planer and charging for d...
