Your blade is probably well worn, when you get the new one, then track it to dead centre and I think you will find that it will stay there. When blades have been overused they tend to wander when cutting and also they do not stay in the position that you set them at. One of the greatest failings...

As I use a lot of Shellac I have always used that on knots so I can only agree. Derek.

Not a lot of good, it even burns too quickly. derek.

Just gos to show how nice a piece of Iroko can look, and it always has a good colour. Derek.

Yeah! been using Flickr since I joined, all dead easy, more so since I found the send to Flickr set-up. Derek.

Yo- chicki, Where? Derek.

Raw linseed is my choice for this, several coats over a few days will give a long protection time and it is pleasing to the eye. Derek.

Well I guess you've covered it all but, I must agree, I love Iroko, the look and tte final finish, if you can put up with all the problems with the working of it an the awful aroma given off, I have a bit left over and I really must try and bring myself to making something of it. derek.

Flickr works fine for me, espescially if you use the send to option. Derek.

Never in your wildest dreams can an empty box be worth anything like that!!!! Derek.

You can get a Silverlight biscuit Jointer through Ebay for only a few pounds more, although not the very best, a very adequate tool for day to day use. Derek.

I have put a slight chamfer as a lead-in before today to get over this problem. Derek.

In front of me in my sitting oom, I have a television and video unit finished with R.P.C. alongside that I have a table finished with Danish oil, both of these are made from English Oak, I can't tell the difference in the finish and neither can anyone else, as for looking like plastic, never! Derek.

For a toy box that is going to get some hard wearing treatment, I would use Rustin's plastic Coating, near enough to being indestructible. Derek.

Do you have to use Danish Oil? What's wrong with Rustin's Plastic Coating? Derek.

I found a tip on Router Workshops this morning, I just thought I'd pass it on as it had many good reviews, for the final polish on any object, use printer paper flat but not on a machine, keep the surface of the paper clean by turning to a new side and you will get the finest finish ever...

For my two-penn'orth, PVA will stick anything provided that one surface is absorbent. derek.

Personally, Whitecat, I would not use that product at all. it looks like a waterbased acrylic wood stain to me, if you want to change the colour, use a spirit wood dye for a better and all over effect and finish with Shellac or Danish oil, Rustins Plastic Coating would be good too. Derek.

And put a little glue onto the back of the knob, hold the screw and turn the knob will give you better control. Derek.

Google Van Dyke Crystals, second item down, finishing will show you how to Ebonise, giving you a black stained finish. Derek.
