I agree he Should not have to resort to these tactics but what sort of world are we living in if we daren't intervene Where do we draw the line .Would you intervene if it was something simple like this Would tyou intervene if it was a mugging a rape or murder I think I was supposed to live in a time long gone

Of Course he was right.Are we all going to sit around and let this happen He may end up in court but what a pathetic society we live in where we would all rather play safe and ignore all the bad things going on I know for one i am only a short ar!! but I couldnt let it go Perhaps I come from a past where nobody was allowed to get away with that sort of behaviour

Arrowsmith dehumidifier kilns - availability?
slackbladder replied to Tom at Heartwood's topic in Milling Forum
Hi Mike I am pleased you get on well with the sauno kiln I just can't get on with mine How good is the door seal on yours,Logosol say that its the most important bit,and how did you seal yours Logosol are really good and have even offered me my money back but I would rather have the kiln working I think that mine is running out of water after just a couple of days and that means the wood is sitting in a fairly dry atmosphere at 70 degrees centigrade Any advice would be a real help cheer steve -
Hi Rob A lot of varnishes and lacquer can be affected by what you put on underneath the final coat Cellulose on top of acrylic etc but i bet you knew that anyway

Hi Matt
How are things going
The craft fair scene at the minute is dire.Sitting around for hours to make £80 is not fun
Have you ever tried using the pour on resin for table top etc,thinking of having a go
Resin is not working well at the minute,its only has a shelf life of 3 months or so
Can't get the stuff to go off properly.dries on top but is still wet where it touches the wood.4 goes on one clock and i'm getting pretty pee'd off
Love the tables you are making.Yew is such a good wood
keep in touch
steve
