    I think it’s elm, not sure if it’s a specific variety that does this or some sort of bacterial canker.

    I sometimes wonder if they even get out their car

    Ignore that, just treated myself to a jointer

    What’s the need for wax on top of oil? I thought it was one or the other
  6. Steve Bullman
    Thanks. The wood itself is going to be pretty dark anyway so I don’t think the actual colour the oil leaves is going to be an issue, more the finish it leaves.

    Been researching this online and there’s a million different ways. Looking for advice on the best process for finishing elm, ie what sandpaper’s to use, and the best oil, wax or lacquer to apply. This will be for a console table and a coffee table so will be reasonably well used. thanks

    Yeah well done, didn’t think about that

    Last time I had to make Simona a 2 level cake stand I stick the dowels into one piece, stuck a few dabs of paint on the other end of the dowel that placed it onto the other piece of wood to mark where I needed to drill the holes. very crude, but worked for me and meant I didn’t have to get a measuring tape out 😀

    I have a drill and a circular saw I just purchase today. The dowel option was what I was hoping would be strong enough. I can just about manage that. Recommendations on glue?

    As title, what’s the easiest way for a complete novice with minimal tools to join 2 boards together for a simple coffee table please
  12. Steve Bullman
    I think it’s right, it’s just the fact that it’s not loaded correctly that it’s acting that way. Once on your harness it will behave completely different

    I’m not overly averse to them to be honest

    Well done! just be careful with that ISC pulley. Seem to recall someone recently saying never to buy their stuff somewhere or other… oh, just found it here
  15. Steve Bullman
    Yeah there’s a couple nearby that I’ve used before. If I can find a design I like that’s the route I may well go

    I’m not much of a craftsman, but screwing some ready made legs onto a plank of wood that I have sanded down on the cheap, that I can manage. I agree some of them don’t look great though
  17. Steve Bullman
    Not sure I’d risk Etsy
  18. Steve Bullman
    Good shout. I did think about trying barking forge if I couldn’t find an off the shelf solution
  19. Steve Bullman
    I have a nice elm plank I’d like to make into a console table. Anyone got a recommendation for a recent supplier that has a range of legs to choose from?

    It could be tipped on the drive way only. Getting it to the back garden would be your responsibility
