Question - can you use a stain followed by an oil finish - my Firebird build will probably have a maple top on the wings - fancy them being red - can I use a stain and then Finishing Oil?

Not recommended...but try it on scrap first ans see if you like it...

OK Massive fail - just been streaming to nowhere for the last 1/2 hr...sorry folks

I have a workshop design session this pm so will reschedule for another day...

Are you going for a ‘live from the workshop’ thingy on Saturday Mark?

@frocesterbill Yeah - Why not! What do you want to see?

Hints about using random sanders - when I built my Bandsman here at home I only had a cheap fixed speed sander and it wasn’t easy to keep under control - now I have got a Mirka Deros that has speed controlled by a paddle I have found it easier to control just need some guidance so that I don’t take chunks out by accident.  

@frocesterbill Gotcha - noted Bill - excellent choice ! I'll do a bit on sanders...

Another one....

Double sided tape vs masking tape and super glue for fixing templates etc.....
