@tej Ive got a big wood lathe which I cut down because it was too big and a small engineering lathe that I’ve used for pen making and some tools.

@rocknroller912 might give it a go and see what it’s like. Engineering or wood lathe?

@tej Sounds like it will be ok. I don’t use a lot of machines but cleaning sticky wood residue is the same on any tool even a hand saw, so if it does that no worries. I only use silicone on parts that...

Any parts the you might want to glue or finish will be affected by residue from lubricants. @rocknroller912 that was my main concern, this one states that it’s not silicone based and doesn’t Mark or ...

@tej Are you thinking of any particular brand ? I’ve used Lubo Wax which is petroleum based but now I use silicon grease spray for lubricating machine parts as it’s not greasy, dries and wood dust doe...

Morning all, do any of you have experience of using machine wax on bandsaw or table saw beds? What’s your verdict if you have?

I need to get out of these suspenders And I need to get that image out of my head!! 🤣 🤣 🤣 Ok, here we go. There may be a couple of minor changes for the production version bu...

Just a couple of teasers! @darrenking. Hurry Darren. I need to get out of these suspenders. 😂😉 🙂🎶🎸🙏

Bagpress going into decking? 🤣

Now that would be telling!! Hope to update you tomorrow. Darren

@darrenking Could it be a surfacing jig for routers, for paupers who don’t have a planer or drum sander ?

@darrenking. We'll Darren, to my now semi trained eye, I think it is fantastic. I would imagine that 50mm is deap enough to do the job but I don't know why but something in the back of my head is sayi...

Apologies for double posting but I thought I should probably post this under its own topic rather than hijacking TV's heading. Ok, here we go. There may be a couple of minor changes for the producti...

^^^ @Russ !

or just keep saving for a pillar drill. By the time you add up the cash that you spend on alternatives that aren't quite up to the job ... the pillar drill might look less expensive. Or keep your eye...

@russ I think that’s the better plan, they’re useful for a lot of tasks. Just please check the distance into the piece the one you get will cut, mine didn’t have clearance to drill the string holes an...

Thanks for doing that @tej. I'll probably keep looking for a better option or just keep saving for a pillar drill. 👍😁 Cheers, Russ 🙏🎸🙂🎶

@russ, so I tried it out on a scrap of pine with a 10mm Brad point, a couple of points right away. Firstly the guide doesn’t fit perfectly snug in the plastic holder. Secondly when it’s in there and y...

@eddie6string Danish oil is my favourite finish although the climate here can be too cold and damp most of the year. Definitely a job for outside working due to the aroma.

Not a typical finish, but I wanted to maintain the patena on this Honduran Mahogany Driftwood top - so three coats of Danish Oil was all it needed. Just going through Set-Up prior to video & shipp...
