hi, this is for sale in northampton, cost about the price of the laminated board you want for the top. Probably won't have sold as it had 23 mins and no buyers. Other than that restore something, like an old 50's oak desk, do the planet a favour ! kev. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Computer-Desk...

without confusing the issue it's mahogany and when polished it will look like mahogany, it's just not brazilian mahogany. it's a very nice timber to work with. no idea why people gat all into it.

I'd say you want a big old saw, may be wrong and there's lots of opinions on here but putting a long plank through a bandsaw is fairly tricky unless you've already tried this and are happy with the result

Stool polished up.

thanks spad, all mortice an tenoned, blocked underneath. screwed it down from the top too and filled the holes with square and round oak dowel, shouldn't fall apart. it's polished now so may get a finished pic up t'row. i'll probably do another with an oak frame underneath.

Just finishing this one off, teak is recycled, it was a deck chair I found at the tip.

you live in the one place I truly hate driving to or I'd have got in the car today !

have you still got all three ?

saw a delta for sale locally and wondering what they are like, I used to have a diamond so I'm kind of fussy in as much as I like a fret saw that cuts straight. also can anyone tell me how the Hegners compare to a Diamond ? Kev.

hi, how do the hegners compare to the diamond ? kev.

I used to distress quite a lot to make some fairly impressive fakes, different coloured ink blots the lot but the polisher who taught me would just say I'll distress it when I polish it. So sand it all smooth, round off the edges, stain light to medium brown, sanding sealer is a good idea and...

I have a huge pot of light filler and I just add some morrells stain if I want it darker, if you only have dark it can be a bit of a pain so maybe buy a light one and you can mix them. what you've put in looks ok, coloured varnish will cover that. you can always mix some sawdust / wood into the...

might be a week or two ..

hi kev, was thinking, whilst working away in the garage, if you really want it black then use some car spray paint. you'd have to mask everything up with tape and paper, wear a mask and it might be messy, say four coats and ease it down after 2 with a pad from morells. You could also paint it...
