Mdf for forming a mold? Or are there better options
gobbypunk replied to Con's topic in Woodcraft Forum
Hi Polypropline sheet is reusable but not cheap ,the melamine works like Roys said and easy to get some resin companys now sell ready made moulds -
I can knock you up a bench but would much rather make you something truly stunning that will be a feature you are proud of but if you just want some 3x3 bolted together for legs and a couple of slabs screwed on top give me a shout I do have some metal bench ends in the shop I could put some Cedar or Oak slats on one a pair of them if you want or for strong money you can have one of our real big rustic benches made with joints and pegs and all out of big chunky Cedar I have some Holly that would make a nice simple back less bench give me a call 07449736569

Turning your rough boards into lovely smooth ones
gobbypunk replied to Peat's topic in Milling Forum
Yeah my 2ft wide thickness planner is a real game changer it was a real ball ache getting it and a grand for the blue box with 2 switches on it to convert to 3phase but totally worth all the money and grief -

I would get a Trend Airshield Pro they are like £250 and are a full helmet with a battery fan in them ,they are real good I would be lost without mine and customer services from Trend are very good.

There is a fine line between Spalted and Rotten ,but as someone said not much public interest in Spalted Beech at the mo 8/10yrs ago it was in demand not so much now ,I think its cool a booked matched pair of boards make stunning tables and with the Lacqures and Resins around then keeping a table top nice is easy done ,I have a fair bit of 7/8yrs air dry Spalted Beech if anyone wants any also have Spalted Apple ,and Holly

Andy its the very fine dust you cant see that is the worst ,the big sawmill that was just up the road from me closed as the matey got real bad COPD from the milling sawdust better to be safe than sorry ,and having lived with quite Asthma all my life its no fun ,even the sawdust from sweeping up after a milling afternoon can do you in Yew is poisonous lost count of the times in A and E with sawdust and bits in my eyes when chainsaw carving so Full Face Helmut gets my vote every time
-
I have a Trend Airshield Pro for Milling ,sanding etc they are expensive but totally worth every penny and the after sales from Trend is totally ace ,no fumes ,dust or bits in the eyes whats not to like .
