Yeah get a roofers torch and a few boards and just have a go a stiff brush then oil ,did quite a lot of burning on chainsaw carvings and a summer house I like it but brushing is an important part of the process just like fractle burning now cladding done like that would be super cool

Very soft and just doesn't last rots very quickly ,Lime for anything inside and Cedar , Doug Fir for outside obviously there are more timbers you can use ,Grinling Gibbons his carvings in Lime are totally stunning well worth a look . Cheers. Mark

Hi mate the box is about 7ft tall and the same wide and about 10ft long will measure and take some photos tomorrow and I have an Arrowsmith kiln unit with all the drying schedules so hopefully just hang it on the back wall and way to go

Nice saw but what do the military want with such a machine

When I worked in my tiny workshop in my garden I would always leave it till 10am on a week day before I started up my saws and never on a sunday but I have older unwell next door but back when I was 18 ish we lived just down the road from 2 churches effing every sunday morning woken up by the bloody bells so is that an issue ,I am not into church nor are a lot of people so where do you draw a line noise is noise we have people down the lane from us and most sundays they cut fire wood for themself dont bother me I think if you want or need to work on a sunday fine if the job is near houses a quick door knock on say the weekend before to let people know and get their heads round it is good PR .

So at last I have got myself an old fridge box its in real good shape just need to dismantle the fridge stuff and install my kiln unit so I have been wondering if I should get or make some sort of racking for in it or just stack and sticker like normal ,super chuffed it cost me £550 delivered to my yard

Hi Jzarty what sort of jewellery are you going to make if rings and bangles you want a nice hardwood Elm ,Greenheart ,Holly all make nice rings I will post some pics of the rings we have just done ,be catefull of those ring/bangle cutting drill bits I had a bangle cutting bit snap in half and half and go flying if you some off cuts posting just cover the postage and I will send you a box full of interesting timber we have loads of small bits of Holly,Elm ,Yew etc and do post some photos of what you make.

Load of crap where do they get these people from ,top notch kit but that coffee table the legs just looked wrong and that aeroplane planter was going in the right direction but up close was all lumpy ,and that matey cutting Burr Elm by hand one min he was hand sawing and the next time you see the bit of timber its all planned up I know its Telly and they can only show so much but just be honest and say other processes were used ,just like that other TV thing Britons Best Woodworker ,What did you guys think of it ?
