Thanks. I thought so... just makes it a little easier to pick up.
I'm reallypleased with it.
Well I suggested making her one.... and she produced a new butchers block!! So on to my next project!
Thank you very much!!
Nope that won't be going anywhere near the dishwasher!!!
And....... I am keeping it! Spoke to my mum and she's more than happy for me to keep it!
Happy days x
So.....it's finished......
Just a reminder of before......
And now what you've been waiting for... the afters......
(Not sure why the pictures have poated wrong way up)
I'm really quite pleased with it.... and myself.
I'd been putting thus off for years as didn't want to muck it up... but...
Thought I'd keep you all in suspense!
That and my forum camera stopped working!!!
Tomorrow guys tomorrow. .... I'm in London all day so promise tomorrow
So I decided to give the bit a clean with some meths *after one of the tipps given.
it's still burnt a little. .. but not as much.
because I'm impatient. .. I think I can live with it....
so it's just the finish now
I have some food safe oil. .. think that'll be ok?
Thanks for them..... the bit came with a second hand titan router I bought so unsure how used/good it is.
I'm also building a router table at the moment and the bits I have for that router are new trend ones so perhaps I'll wait and revisit it with that, taking into consideration your tips.
So tonight I used my router and put some finger pulls in the underside for ease of pick up....
Rookie question. .. how do I stop burn marks... I've tried all different speeds and multiple cuts/ directions. .. still burning? I still have some space to play with if there's anything I can try and...
It's so close now I'm gonna wait until it's finished.....
I squared up the 4 parts... cut the cracks off the ends... I've added some walnut strips for contrast and to keep it a useable size and not too small.
The circle inserts..
most I got out whole, so I started sanding them flat to look...
No unfortunately not. Everything that has been cut off the chopping board was not useable. I've tried to make it with as much original wood as possible.
