    Working with English Yew

    I don't believe it to be an insurmountable problem. Threaded inserts, epoxy, brackets etc same way every single tutorial/Internet build log I've seen uses. I could also experiment with various methods on small scale mock ups. I could seek advice on a forum haha :D :D just joking pal best...

    Working with English Yew

    Maybe but no one learnt anything by not trying . I've never said it was easy or that I expect perfect results immediately. I'm just a beginner wanting to have a bash, practice and learn something new bizarrely for some reason this seems to have really annoyed some users (aren't these forms...

    Working with English Yew

    Dunno I'm just going to give it a go and see won't learn anything without trying. Plus river tables was just one idea I'm thinking of trying. In any case I'm only aiming to attempt small coffee tables and coasters not a 12 foot conference table. If it ends as a cracked flaking mess then it's...

I simply said I aim to have a go making resin tables and practice until I achieve good results No need for snooty, elitist coments. We all had to start...

    Do you understand the concept of Time? That events can take place in the same space at different times you understand this simple concept yes? I didn't say I'd be making a table and spraying stuff at the same time use some common sense. You seem to have a real problem with someone simply...

    Did I say that? No that's not what I said. I said I've sprayed stuff in the workshop before, in the past not that I'll be doing it at the same time as this project. Yes I only have one workshop unfortunately perhaps you own several, one for every project.

    Working with English Yew

    I'm comfortable using it. I use my workshop as a paint stripping/prepping and spray booth quite often so I have all the usual PPE and don't mind using chemicals. I've heard mixed opinions while looking into resin, some wear no PPE and others use gloves, mask, aprons etc. I usually lean more...

    I don't have any clients I'm just going to have a go at it until my results are good and then try sell them at Boot sales and summer craft fairs.

I plan to seal all my projects with gloss epoxy resin but should...
