Noth to do with Bostik but I use a spray adhesive and is suitable for high temperatures - its brilliant and doesnt let go. Have used it various materials but not wood as yet

Its probably obvious to most but use a good hardwood dowel. I used some cheap stuff for exaclty what the OP is asking and when we put the new screws in it had about as much hold as screwing in cotton wool..

Cheers for the info guys. I was told it was South American so took it as said. Not so much to worry about then, may just use it as shelves then as th ekids wont use it - in fact all we do is cut it up into samplke sized pieces to do material testing . They are all single sections, not...

Me again, sorry, cant download price calcualtor on school computers. We have several decent sized pieces of South American Iroka Teak, any idea of values would be appreciated; South American Iroka Teak (All 1" thick approx uness stated otherwise) 1 8'2" x 10" 2 8'2" x 10" 3 8'2" x...

Thanks marcros, very helpful. I have the same question regarding Iroka now but i'll start a new topic I think.

Hi, Firstly, I cant download the price calculator as i'm on a work/school computer. We have several planks of Oak approx 4'6" x 1' x 3/4" They are true and flat and well seasoned (they have been in our store room for at least 6 years and they were old then - have been used before so have...

Yes you're missing something, have you read the description.... :roll: it was hand crafted by some bloke

Nice bus - is worth spending a bit of money and getting it right. I'd love a bay or splitty as a project. Plenty of shows coming up to go shopping at :) and there are so many websites dedicated to dubs to draw inspiration and ideas from. I like your thoughts about not having the wardrobe...

Vohringer ply. Its expensive but its strength to weigh tis superb. It looks great. Depnds on your budget. Lots of campers have Ikea units cut down to fit and they look good too. What camper are you building?

I'm not suprised they were happy with it. That looks superb =D>

Aside on here, where is a good place to sell machines? I will resort to ebay as a final fling Getting short of time so need to get moving.

We score and snap 3mm. I dont worry too much about the clamping, as long as its held firmly along a nice smooth square edge it snaps easily enough. I do it this way several times a day. As long as your score is deep enough and deep enough right to the ends it will snap square. I use a stanley...

He's pretty amazing. Theres a few of his vids about, well worth searching. I remember seeing the bit where he ends up on top of a telephone box. Makes you wonder how many wheels and tyres he's trashed though (hammer)

make a branding iron. I admit a bit labour intensive if your only doing one or two but they give a good effect - more crafty and desirable than laser etching. or, free hand with a hot iron =D> Sublimation. Get the logo printed with sublimation ink and hot press it on. We have done this on...

We had a little project a school to make toys - usually in 20mm thick wood as its the profile that is key not the width - anyway, we gave a few kids the option to make it from thicker material. I made an example and because the wood thickness allowed it, I recessed the wheels to give a more...
