    West System epoxy

    Thanks for the tips. I'm filling knots/cracks in a couple of boards. I have sanded a little bit and it looks good. Phil

    West System epoxy

    Hi, I am using some West System 105 Resin with 206 Slow hardener. The specs say: Cure to solid state: 9-12 hours Cure to maximum hardness: 5-7 days Does that mean i have to wait 5-7 days before i can scrape / sand it or is it fine once it is in its solid state? Thanks Phil

    The Thing in the Garage

    I was lucky enough to see the thing in the garage when it was just a collection of things in the garage, the workshop, the house, ... and i am very glad that it cuts elms and conifers and all that woody stuff. But what we really want to know is: will it slice James Bond or mother-in-laws? :roll:

    I've had skilled company in the workshop today!

    I hated that book! Not because of the points the author made. But because of the academic writing style. The author is a philosopher, has a PhD and has written an academic book complete with footnotes and proper references. Not exactly light entertainment! Phil - A computer programmer who will...

    Windy Miller does woodwork

    They're joking about deep fat fried blocks. They leave them soaking in warm (66 deg C) oil and the blocks absorb almost 200ml of oil.

    Box foam padding

    something like this? Alternatively, Jacobean silver responds extremely well to (hammer) after which the problem is reduced to a very thin box lined with velvet.
