Thanks to all for your replies. Seems this is a particularly strange plank with serious wild grain and just needs to be sanded much finer than the main countertops. Its was a large wany edged slab complete with knots etc.
While I'm at it does anyone know of an oil which gives a true matt...
Hi all
Its been a long time since I posted on here but was hoping someone had an insight into an irritating issue I'm having finishing a maple countertop. Essentially I'm having serious issue with sanding marks showing through the Osamo top oil I'm using - even having sanded to 320 grit (they...
Genuine teak doesn't require any finish at all to protect it - a good scrub with a bit of fairy and a scotchbrite sponge will keep it in fine fettle. I'd reccomend a trio of deckhands as well but that gets expensive really quick.
Teak Wonder A+B is the stuff Sawtooth is talking of and its not...
Hi All
Stepping out into the unknown here as high gloss is not a thing I normally do so pointers would be welcome.
I'm building some speaker stands the centre part or column is made of three laminations of mdf heavily curved and rounded over - the finish has to be high gloss to match the very...
We live in a strange world when Felder and cheapest are in the same sentence. I think you're right though - checked the Felder site last night and less than half the price of the competition. I still resent 40 quid for what it is though. Beats making one I guess.

Been away for a while but back on it nw and havge a need for a new riving knife for my Robland saw. Scott and Sargeant sell them but pretty expensive for what it is - nigh a hundred quid. Any one know of a cheaper outlet before I get busy with a grinder? A standard euro pattern should fit.
Hi All
After a bit of a hiatus I'm back making expensive sawdust - in this case a really well figured walnut plinth for my new French doors. Usually for a finish I'd default to Polyx (which I have in the shop) but I'm concerned that it'll be in full daylight and will slowly fade. Anyone know...
If you want a non permanent fixing use "museum gel" - its a silicone based transparent gel that museums/galleries use to fix objects down. It provides a surprising amount of stick but does not adhere as such. Its usually invisible but use just a dap as it does spread. We use it for fixing art...
I'm afraid I don't know. My mate is the money behind the idea; practical he is not. At the moment I believe they're ramping up production and want to bring their outfitting in house. Thats as much as I know.
Wouldn't surprise me if there were several companies doing it though given that foreign...
A friend of mine has just contacted me regardsing a business he's investing in - fitting out high end VW campers. Has asked me if I know anyone that might be interest in the fit out - the cabinet4ry rather than mechanicals which they already have sorted. I'm not sure of any details but it...
